Memorial Day is the start of summer and the kids are going to want to enjoy the great outdoors. Get them started by sending them on an adventure in your own backyard with Backyard Safari.
Outfit them with Essential Field Gear like our Cargo Vest, Binoculars and Mini Lanterns. Once they are geared up they will be ready to earn merit patches with the help of our specialized gear. Earn the “Bird Watchers” patch with our Bird Watch Field Kit. It includes a pair of 5X30 binoculars with 2 ½ inch lens shades, a light weight tripod that can be table top or handheld and has 3 different bird calls (reed, whistle, and warbler) for attracting every kind of bird. Make them a “Hydration Expert” with our 22oz Field Canteen featuring a “no-lose” cap, extra long carry strap and insulated carrying case. The 3-in-1 Field Compass with a 24 inch retractable cable and carabiner has a large flip out magnifying glass and an LED signal light to let you flash secret Morse code messages. Once they complete the 6 in-the-field missions included in the pop up guide that comes with the field compass, they can earn their “Expedition One” patch. Next it’s on to the “Bug Wranglers” patch with our Bug Vacuum equipped with a removable capture core and built in magnifying glass to help capture small critters. They can catch larger critters with the Wet/Dry Scoop Net and store all their specimens in the handy Mini Pop-Up Field Habitat or watch them live and play in the Land and Water Lighted Habitat.
All this adventure will be a great way for the kids to make the most of the enjoyable summer days while learning at the same time. Stick around for ideas on what to do with those days spent indoors.
