Description
Enhance your EYFS outdoor environment with the Set of Outdoor Magnifiers. This high-quality, easy-to-hold set of handheld magnifiers provides opportunities for scientific enquiry for the youngest of learners in the EYFS.
Each wooden magnifier is designed for small hands, durable enough to withstand active outdoor use, and ideal for examining leaves, insects, soil and natural materials. Children develop careful observation skills, attention to detail, and descriptive language while exploring independently or collaboratively.
Support early scientific investigation by introducing simple outdoor activities such as a “Bug Hunt,” where children explore for insects and small creatures in the Minibeast Bug hotel or use the set of Outdoor Bug Jars & Magnifiers to capture bugs in their outdoor classroom or forest school, discussing size, colour, and patterns. Encourage comparison by describing what they see and share discoveries with their peers.
Pair this set with the core resource collection, Exploring Nature Resource Collection 3–7yrs for a complete collection of nature exploration resources to enrich the outdoor classroom. Introduce the Set of Chalkboards to extend observational learning into recording findings and patterns. Children familiar with indoor science resources, such as the Science Resource Collection will enjoy transferring skills to the outdoor environment.
Explore the full range of Exploring Nature Resources to enhance your early years or KS1 outdoor classroom, creating an engaging and inspiring environment where children can learn, explore, and thrive.
