This is just so cool, I love it, I must own one and display for all to enjoy.
The Solar Insect Theatre attracts bugs by means of a sun-powered light which comes on automatically at dusk. Light-loving creatures will fly in, and though they can leave at any time, many should remain in the morning for your child to study.
There is an access door in the base, where branches or plant material can be added or insects removed to study.
The theatre is designed to be similar to a natural habitat, attractive to insects, though there are holes for them to exit as and when they please.
This beats those mesh bug collectors I had as a kid. My son would absolutely love it!
You can buy one at the Urban Garden Shop online.
They also sell other really cool scientific toys for your tots. =o) There is even a child's starter kit for gardening which my little boy would have loved but we had to buy each piece separately when he expressed an interest in helping us out in the garden.Labels: children, garden, hobbies, insects |
