Why we love it: This is by far one of the best gifts for kids on the market. The Nature Bag includes a magnifying glass and whole slew of other items for exploring nature-- all in a nice canvas bag. Could be used at any age above 3 or 4, but is perfect for a 6-10 year olds. No need to have a huge patch of ground, the contents of this bag will make a little nature go a long way. Helps any child think like a scientist!
