Giveaway: Binocular Adventure Package from Imagine Childhood

//  by 

This giveaway is now closed. Stay tuned to find out the winner this weekend!

Welcome to Simple Living Media’s Home for the Holidays! We’ve got 15 giveaways across the entire network this week—all great gift ideas, perfect for the holidays.

Today I’m excited to be giving away a prize that my kids will love receiving this Christmas, and I think yours will as well.

It’s this binocular adventure package from Imagine Childhood–full of goodies to help your children both play and learn as they go about their outdoor adventures.

This gift comes ready to stimulate hours of creative, educational exploration.

Learn more about what is included in this prize and how to win.

This package includes the following 12 items:

With this kit your child will have all he needs to head outside and begin exploring. My family and I recently moved to a home on two woodsy acres, complete with plenty of new birds to observe in the trees on our property. So I was excited to try out the binoculars in this package.

Made by the company Konus, this pair is compact for little hands and the rubber covering makes it easy to hold while also adding extra durability. It’s simple to focus and the magnification brings the trees and their inhabitants up close and personal. (I think we might also take them when we see the Nutcracker in a few weeks!) This is a solid starting pair of binoculars for a beginning observer.

Being a fan of bags, I especially love the backpack that is a part of this prize. It is clearly made to last and extremely sturdy. Crafted from organic cotton, it also features non-toxic dyes, sustainable wood and recycled plastic components, and adjustable shoulder straps. It’s also PVC free.

The nature cards included in this set have already been put to good use in our home. They have been helping us identify the flora and fauna in our local area. I’ve personally learned so much from having these on hand. We also like the poster versions.

The founders of Imagine Childhood believe that “children should experience the world through their own eyes, ears, fingers, and toes. That direct interaction with nature is the best way to learn about the world, and that open-ended imaginative play is the best way to learn about what it could be.” The quality toys that fill their store reflect this belief in the beauty of childhood.

I often visit Imagine Childhood when birthday or holiday time rolls around and I need a gift for one of my little people. Check out their online holiday gift guide to gather more ideas for the children in your life.

    My 4 year old daughter would love this! She loves the outdoors and nature so much. She actually received two really low grade binoculars for her birthday and has been quite disappointed in their performance…

  8. Stephanie

    My 6 year old daughter would love this adventure package. We spend a great deal of time in the woods and would put this to great use! Thanks for the contest.

  9. Kristen

    My 8 year old daughter and 6 year old son would LOVE this set…if we won one, I’d probably have to buy another! 🙂

  14. Laura S.

    I was actually thinking it would be fun to gift this to all my kids as a “group gift”. They all LOVE being outdoors and discovering new things!! My 5 & 6 yo would definitely get the most use out of it!

  17. Sarah

    My seven year old son goes on backyard adventures almost every day. He would love this adventure package.

  23. Kristy Tucker

    We just started homeschooling this year. My 5-year-old daughter has declared that she wants to be a scientist when she grows up…and we’ve moved up to cold, snowy Canada while my husband does some training in mission aviation. So, this would give us something to look forward to…when it thaws out.

  26. Ilse

    My 4-year-old daughter. She might be a little young for some of it, but she loves being outside and finding treasures. If I don’t win, I may just buy one for her for Christmas!

  30. Stephanie Lavan

    My outdoorsy girl would love to receive this package! We have a bald eagle in the area, but it soars too high for us to get a good view. She would love this package. I can just see her exploring the park – her perfect homeschooling activity!

  32. AmandaXC

    My older boy would love the compass and my younger one would probably never let go of the binoculars. I have two very enthusiastic nature boys and they would so enjoy every bit of this kit! I unfortunately know nothing of twitter, so I’ll have to go with just one entry…

  36. Jolene in Michigan

    My oldest (10) would love this but sh’d have a hard time getting rid of her sister (7) who would love it just as much. 🙂

  40. Lisa

    My 9 yr old son would love this. He loves looking at birds in our yard and going on Nature Walks. He would love to be able to view with binoculars and have his own Nature Backpack.

  43. Mary F.

    My 7 yr old son would love to have this kit. He is always outside, in the woods, investigating and learning and has to have his stuff ‘just so’ in his bags. This is something he would really enjoy and would like to call it his own (esp. since he is one of 7! :))
    Thanks!
    —Mary F.

  45. Nancy Mosley

    This would be a great gift pack. I would give this to my 11 year old daughter. She loves nature and doesn’t have her own set of binoculars yet. She would love this. Thanks for the chance to win.

    My Son (9) would LOVE this as he is always on the lookout for wildlife on our walks. Thanks for the giveaway!

    Both my 8 7 6 year-olds would love this package. They both love exploring nature. Thanks for this offer!

  61. Ana mansilla

    My 4 years old have just asked for a similar binoculars and outdoors kit to be included in bis Santa’s letter. His very outdoorish 😉 . We live in Mexico City so outdoors activities are difficult.

    Blessings

  62. Anita

    What a really great prize! I have at least three children who would love to get this (and a couple of older ones who would be interested!) But I think it would go to my 10 year old! Thanks

  64. Janet H

    My daughter (11 yrs old) has just developed an interest in birds. It is wonderful to see her get so excited about them. She would be able to expand her interest with this kit.

    This is such a wonderful prize! It brings back memories of my childhood…tramping about… 🙂

    My son, West, would love this. And I would love exploring with him!

  85. Sue

    My kids favorite thing about this package would be the extra reason to be outside more! We have a lovely park near us that we don’t go to often enough. The binoculars would be such a hit I would probably have to buy three more for the other children. The 10 year old would love the knot kit and they would all enjoy the family time using all of it!

  86. Kara D.

    Which child? All three of mine would love this – ages 10, 8, and 7. We are on 50 acres, 10 of which are wooded, and they practically live out in the woods when given the chance. Anything that makes them more of “woods explorers” is the greatest gift my children could imagine.

  88. Michelle

    My five year old, Eli, LOVES everything bugs. He can get lost in the backyard for hours watching and catching them.

This is an amazing giveaway and he would surely love it! Thank you for the opportunity!

    My daughter, Serena, would absolutely love this backpackers and nature package!

  331. Jeanne

    What child in your life would most enjoy this prize?

    My child would enjoy this very much, after receiving a Swiss Colony book this year, my son noticed its not all goodies and seen a set of father & son Binocular. Right now though we just cannot afford to buy them. He is always telling me how he could see so far if he had some. We live in a beautiful rural area will miles of farm one way, woods another way. I just really think he would love this prize!!

    Thanks

    Both of my kids would enjoy it! We’re part of a nature group that goes out weekly and this would be fantastic. 🙂

  401. Kristin Lambert

    Any of our five children would love this set! 🙂 Thank you for introducing me to Imagine Childhood and for the wonderful giveaway!

  403. Jamie R.

    This would be a great “share gift”. My son could lead the way using the compass & binocs and my daughter could identify various things in nature. Thank you for the chance to win.

  404. Lisa Lansford

    Our 5 yr old daughter would love this! I wish I was a tweeter but sadly I only FB. Thanks for the fun give away!

  413. Minimuppet

    My son, Rufus, is always on the lookout for his troublesome older sister – think Dexter and Dee Dee as in Dexter’s Laboratory…so the binoculars would come in handy!

  414. Christie

    My daughter would love this set! She loves everything nature and being outside! What a great giveaway!

  416. maggie m

    My seven year old would enjoy this a lot he made binoculars in a building workshop and loves to discover things. He is also in cub scouts so I think some of those items would help enrich that. He’s autistic and any hands on help would be great since he gets a lot from it.

  417. Gretchen

    All my kids ages 3-9 would love to use this, but they would have to wait until I had my turn. It looks awesome!

  418. katherine

    Of my four daughters, I believe my four year old would most enjoy this awesome package. She has a particular ability to focus on detailed work, and loves to frolick around outdoors. 🙂

  419. Hope May

    My son, Kellen would LOVE this! He loves to explore and examine things. Would be such a great gift to unwrap under the xmas tree.

  421. Heidi

    My 7 year old is taking a science class this year and loving it…this set would be the perfect encouragement for him!

  423. Heather J

    Our 5 year old daughter–she makes binoculars out of anything possible, paper, toilet paper rolls, cardboard, etc. She would be amazed to actually have a pair of her own!

  434. sarah

    my second-born would love this kit as he already has a mini-one that he put together, but would love all these ‘extras’!

  439. Abigail Gunter

    I would love to give this to my 5 year old very curious daughter or to my 4 year old nephew. They would both get hours of fun from this gift.

  441. Betsy

    All four of our kids would enjoy this addition to our nature walks, but it is probably the oldest, age 8, who would initially be the most excited.

  446. Melissa Daniel

    My son Evan, is a budding scientist! He is 7-years old and loves nature and discovering things. He would love this prize!

  447. Marjorie Peterson

    This is exactly what I was thinking about for my granddaughter, who is interested in everything in nature. She reads bird guides for her pleasure reading.

  451. Andrea

    oh my goodness! I saw this and immediately thought of how my oldest would just LOVE to spend so much time outdoors with this pack of goodies!!!

  453. Emily

    By bird lover Elias. He is 9 and we watch birds together a lot, and is learning names and songs of the different birds. Love that kid…

  454. Laura B.

    Either my 4 year old little guy who loves to explore or my 7 year old girlie girl who is fascinated by bugs and snakes!

  457. Laura

    I think the hardest part would be deciding which of my four kids would get to use it first! The toddler would love the binoculars, and the other three are budding naturalists ~ they can spend hours just playing and discovering all things nature!

  458. regina

    Both of my guys are outside explorers but my youngest would be the one who would be head over heels for the adventure backpack.

  459. jessica

    my oldest daughter has been asking for a par of binoculars, but we thought we would wait till her spring birthday, this would be perfect!

  460. Laura Keel

    I just started following “Imagine Childhood” and “Simple Homeschool” on Twitter. I love this website.

  464. Nora Bucy

    My son, Logan, would love this the most. Although all four kids would get a kick out of it. Logan, being the only boy, prides himself on what he considers “boy toys.” He likes having “boy” things to himself. Even though this is neutral, he would think of it as boy. This would be something just for him and to share with his sisters. 🙂

  468. Erin

    My six year old daughter would LOVE this set! Wherever we go, she always notices the world around her. She has several “treasure boxes” that hold all the special things she finds (at least the ones I let her bring in the house(0:). Being outside in nature is her favorite thing to do!

  470. Emma

    My six year old nature lover would adore this, we’ve just moved to the country so we are outside every day and getting to know the nature around us.

  477. Amy C

  480. Julie

    I have a nine year old who would love it as well as showing his 2 year old sister all about the nature world.

  483. sheila

    My middle son, age 7 1/2! He would love this, he is my explorer, nature man, project boy. All of my kids enjoy the outdoors, but this would be his!

  485. Rena

    My 9 year old home schooler, Tony would love this. We often have outdoor school days since we live in the rain forest. This would be a great addition to his field trips too 🙂

  486. Kami

    My 7 year old daughter would love to receive such a gift. She is always looking for the tiniest of creatures while out and about.

  487. Beth

    My oldest girl would live outside in a treehouse if we would let her. She would lurve this backpack and all of its contents! Thanks for sharing.

  488. Julie

    My almost 3 year old daughter would LOVE LOVE LOVE this. She shocks me daily with her interest (and fearlessness) in nature with bugs etc. I love it.

  493. Alicia

    We would love to win this! My 4 youngest children would all enjoy it very much. But I think my 7 yr. old son would like it the most.

  498. Amy

    My 8 year old daughter would absolutely love this! She loves to explore in the woods year round and love bird watching even in the winter months.

  510. Karen

    My son Lucas would love this the best, but he’s such a sweet kid that he would want to share it with his brother and sister so they could all go exploring together.

  511. Andrea

    My youngest daughter would simply LOVE these binoculars. She’s the one who gets distracted whenever we are outside. Instead of swinging with her sisters, she wanders around the yard picking up rocks or leaves. She also loves to watch all the birds at my mom’s house further out in the country. She’d adore such a gift!

  515. Ginger

    It is hard to choose which kidling would LOVE this. I would say . . . my 10 year old daughter. She loves anything and everything nature and have a scientist passion for the outdoors.

  518. Catherine

    I have a feeling my 9-year-old boy and my six-year-old girl would BOTH find plenty of uses for this adventure pack! They would love to have it on their explorations in our backyard and on our hikes in the mountains. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  523. Cari

    My big girl (eight) would LOVE this! We live by some ocean bluffs and seals have their pups in the spring. This would be a perfect little set for her to go explore this area.

    Thanks for the opportunity!

    My youngest daughter would love this–we created a science camp for her and some friends this summer, and she loves tromping and exploring in nature.

  529. Sarah G

    Oh, my daughter and son would both love this! Maybe they would share it harmoniously?! Even if it causes a bit of sibling rivalry, it would be a wonderful resource for both my bug- and bird-watchers. Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!

  532. Leah

    My 5 year old would love this! She loves being outside and exploring nature. This would be a great prize for her!

  533. Erin

    Definitely my daughter – her Daddy (and I) both enjoy the outdoors and going on hikes & adventures and she is learning to love it as well. She would LOVE to have her own binoculars & I know she’d dig all the other tools as well. Thanks for the chance!

  538. Janna

    Oh, I love this!!! I honestly can’t pick just one of my children who would enjoy using this, they all would! We just set up our first bird feeder this fall we have had great fun getting to know our new visitors.

  539. Ruby

    I think my second oldest child would love to receive this exploration kit…& since his grandma has a bit of acreage, he has a great place to explore! Please enter me in the drawing. Thanks!

  549. Suzy

    My daughter, Sophie, would LOVE this. She’s not afraid of picking of worms and is very interested in nature and bugs!!

  552. Catherine

    My son would love this package. Binoculars are on his Christmas list, and this pack would be even better!

  558. molly

    I actually just ordered the sighting compass from Imagine Childhood for my boy, so I’m going to say he would love it most. But I think all 3 would get good use from it!

  559. Heather

    First. How did I not know there were other simple websites? How much have I been missing!

    All four of my kids would love these gifts.

  561. Colette

    A lovely prize. Thank you for the opportunity. I would give this to my little boy but would encourage him to share with his 3 little cousins too.

  571. PsychMamma

    My 5yo daughter would absolutely LOVE this! She loves her toy Melissa & Doug binoculars and has asked for real ones. Her favorite adventures always involve nature, so this whole pack would be perfect for her. Thank you so much for the chance to enter!
    PsychMamma’s latest post: The Value of Life

  581. Jennifer

    Both of my boys would love this, but the 8yr old would certainly put it to more use (& keep up with the pieces). Not sure what he would use it for more: our nature study/walks, his “hunting” excursions, safaris, and yes, even secret spy missions.

  594. Tracy C

    Wow-what an amazing gift! My budding 8 yo outdoorsman would love this and the 6 yo would love to identify butterflies, plants and birds!

  597. Becky

    My oldest son, 7, would LOVE these binoculars! We love, love, love watching nature at our country home! 🙂

    My youngest son Ben. We enjoy nature shows together and he loves watching and identifying birds.

  603. Sara Suastez

    My daughter would love this! She is only two but she loves being outdoors and anything that has to do with that!

  604. Heather

    I think both my 5 year old daughter and almost 4 year old son would love this. Our bird feeders have been a favorite place for cardinals to feed the past couple of weeks so we would have lots of fun with this prize!

  612. Joslyn

    My almost 6 year old nature loving girl. She loves to be outside and explore the world God made for us!

  619. Molly L

    My DS1 would LOVE this! science is his thing and we have been totally into exploring and animals this year and planing a whole summer unit on it. We would love to win this!

  620. Trish

    My oldest loves to look out the window and see all the animals outside, binoculars would be so wonderful for her exploring!

  621. Joy

    Our two little nature lovers have been asking for several of the items you’ve included in your giveaway. Compass, binoculars, knots and more – they would be beside themselves with excitement!

  627. Sara E

    My son (almost 6) would love this! We’ve really been working on our nature journals and trying to stay connected to the natural world around us.

  628. cat @ neohomesteading.com

    My son riley would LOVE this. We have limited christmas funds this year. ( more than usual.) We were hoping to get him a telescope but a decent one seems like it would set us back a bit too much. We have hawk nests I bet he would adore peeping with binoculars!

  633. Rachel

    My 11 year old girl would love this! She is a nature lover, and is constantly outside finding new joys to behold-squirrels, birds, lizards, etc.

  635. Karen Johnson

    My youngest son, Nicky, would enjoy using this, especially when we go to Prairie Ridge Eco-Station and other places to hike and learn about nature. He would also love to share it with a cousin of his.

  636. Maggie Horn

    I would love to have this gift for my son and my husband to enjoy, I’m reading Boys Should Be Boys about how much kids benefit from the outdoors!

  637. Pamela

    My daughter Charlotte would love this gift. She has a pretend/plastic pair of binoculars that she wears all the time, and a real pair would be a treasure. All of these resources would be wonderful for our homeschool preschool!
    Pamela’s latest post: imperfect

  640. De Arn Foley

    My son (4) would love this to enhance his outdoor explorations! His nature collection already includes shells, leaves, feathers & a birds nest we found when pruning the neighbor’s rose bush growing over our side of the fence! Thanks for your generosity!

  647. Catherine

    My middle son (#2 of 4 kids) would love this! He is such an outdoorsman. We just moved to the country a week ago so he would get so much use out of a gift like this!

  648. Paula

    Oh, my! I love this! My middle daughter, Haddyn, would probably love it the best but I have the feeling it would be well used by all 3 of them : )

  650. Heather Young

    My first born son, who just today commented to me how much he dislikes learning about science from his textbook at school and would much rather go out and BE in nature in order to learn about it.

  654. Brittney

    My daughter Audri would love this kit. I started staying home this year full-time and she is almost 4. I am always looking for fun ways to incorporate fun and learning. She happens to love binoculars, too! 🙂

  660. Kajtryna

    My 9 year old daughter would think this is the bomb. She l;oves to be around nature in any way, shape or form. This is a perfect fit for her.

  663. Liz M

    My son, William, is such an outside explorer. We recently started doing Geocache adventures as a family, and I know he would live to use a pack like this when we are out exploring.

  667. Kate

    I don’t know who would enjoy this more.. my son Hunter or my husband! They’re starting to spend a lot of time outdoors together identifying different animals, and this would be the perfect gift for the holidays :o)

  668. Mary Ann

    My son, who is soon to be seven, would enjoy this set. He loves to watch the birds and explore. Of course his four year old little brother would want a turn with the binoculars too!

  673. Amy

    My son loves anything to do with the outdoors (thanks to a nature-loving daddy) and would think this is the coolest thing he has ever seen I’m sure!

  678. Lisa

    Oh my! Any of our six children would love this, but I think my 12 year old son or 10 year old daughter would especially appreciate it.

  682. angie

    all my children would love this, as we try to be outside as much as possible, getting close-up to nature. thanks for the chance!!

  685. Sarah

    My son would adore this. We just moved to a farm, and he would have a great time identifying the wildlife around here.

  687. Sally Wilson

    Any of my children would love this binocular set, but Ryan my youngest (11yo) would delight in it. His favorite season is right now, he loves to be out in the cold, tromping around the woods and seeing everything there is to see!

  688. Sandra

    My youngest, would love these binoculars – just bought him a dollar store pair to keep him going til we get a ‘real pair’ !

  689. corie

    I know that my 6.y.o. son would love all the fixins’ in this kit; he has a huge fascination with bugs, magnifying, and astonishing facts about nature and animals. But my 8.y.o. daughter is the real thinker and explorer of knowledge, and has a very empathetic heart and desire to be the change. Hmm, looks like they’ll have to share 🙂

  690. Crystal

    Well all three of my boys would love this, but I would probably give it to my daughter who is a nature enthusiast.

  691. Leila

    Our daughter would most appreciate the binocular adventure package. She has a sixth sense when it comes to discovering nature. We love Imagine Childhood around here! They offer great kits for older kids when they grow out of toys designed for younger children…

  697. Rebecca

    It is hard to pick one of my children who would enjoy this the most. Each one of them shows such an interest in learning more about nature and animals that I think each one would enjoy learning outside with these great learning tools!

  699. Jaimie

    My 9 year old daughter would love this! She is a huge nature explorer and this would be a great add on to our nature study!

  706. Laura

    My 5 year old Collin would LOVE this! He has already put together a “discovery pack” for nature walks with his Superman backpack, a note pad, pencil, toy binoculars and a magnifying glass. This is right up his alley!

  708. Julia

    My youngest son, the one who is always walking bare foot everywhere and has dirty hands would love a backpack filled with these goodies 🙂

  711. Sara Daniel

    AWESOME giveaway! What a fun green backpack to hold all the field-study goods. My son, Knox, would enjoy it and greatly benefit from it and would then pass it on to his nature-loving cousin. Thanks for the chance to win!

  714. Jess W

    My son Liam would love, love, love this! So would his brother Aidan but Liam would appreciate it a bit more. He’s always wanting to learn about animals/bugs/plants and go on nature walks.

  715. Mandee P

    Does my husband count? he loves the outdoors and can’t wait for our son to enjoy it with him. I think this will be great next summer for some day hikes.

  720. Jennifer

    That’s tough my two oldest (5 &7) are the most age appropriate but I think my 5 year old son Layton would just gobble up the binoculars and all the goodies inside the bag. Hope we win!

  727. Amy

    My 6yr son would love this pack (although his little brother might pounce on it first)! I lead a nature study co-op for our homeschoolers and, really, all the kids would thoroughly enjoy this pack. Awesome!

  728. Tanya W

    My oldest son Crispin would be the one who would most enjoy this set 🙂 He loves animals and learning about the world around us and finds creatures absolutely fascinating. Thanks for the chance!

  729. Ledys

    My almost-4-year-old is obsessed with binoculars. She’d love a real pair! (When the cardboard tube began to not hold up so well, we switched to a pair I found at B&N. It satisfies for now, but it’s nothing awesome.

    Thanks, Jamie!

    i was actually thinking of getting my daughter something very similar for christmas, so i know she would love this!

  731. DanielleJ

    My 4 year old son is infatuated with the idea of binoculars and how they give him a “step up” in terms of how much he can see!

  732. Bren

    My oldest (age 6 1/2) has taken a love to bird watching and has even asked for binoculars for Christmas. He would be *over the moon* to open this on Christmas morning … Thanks for offering such a fantastic gift!

  740. Mama K.

    Most of my children are almost too old for this (15, 17, 19 21), but my 11-yr old would like it. If not, I have younger nieces and nephews that I like to gift at birthday time! Thanks for the giveaway!

  742. Christina V.

    My almost 5 year old would have a blast with this package with his daddy. Sounds like their kind of adventure!

  745. Fiona

    My young son Adam would really love this. He is very interested in nature, and when at Gran’s house loves to watch the red squirrels playing in the garden.
    This would keep him amused for hours!

  747. Kelly

    Not sure I can choose just one child who would enjoy this adventure package – all three of our boys love to join together in their exploration and adventures!

  751. Rob Kaminski

    Our 3 year old daughter, Reilly, would love this present. We live in the country, which has many advantages, but also means that there are no friends close by. Fortunately she loves being outside and is extremely curious to learn about birds (we keep a journal of all birds seen on our property), bugs and everything else out there. Our second child is due any day, so we are trying to provide Reilly with special activities like this to help her with the adjustment. Thanks for the opportunity.

  753. Jennifer

    My Gillian is an artist and would love this. She has asked for drawing supplies and books to learn to draw animals well. I think this kit would help her study her subjects in their environment.
    Jennifer’s latest post: The Season of Advent

  755. Barbara

    My son would really appreciate this kit. He is especially into tying knots lately, so the book would be a highlight.

  761. Heather N

    My 5 year old daughter would love this prize. She is an animal and nature girl all the way. She has yet to pick up a doll, but loves to watch pigeons, robins, and crows when they land on our deck railing. She shushed us when we were talking too loud near a birds nest because she wanted the babies to rest! She loves being outside and building “water systems” (her words, for real) in the mud. She would be thrilled to win this package. Thanks.

  762. Carolyn

    My 5 year old tree hugger would absolutely love this, she’d have to share with her little sister but so much fun to explore!

  763. Kate

    Oh, boy…hard question is, whether this would stay at our house, for our every-curious daughter, or go west to our nephews and nieces in IN…..

  765. Kimberly Young

    My 9 year old son has always been fascinated with tracking things, listening to birds, enjoying God’s creation all around us!! He would be thrilled to receive this!! (And to be honest, the other kids would love it, too!)

  767. sonya

    my 8 yr old loves to be outside — by herself or with her sibs….this would make a beautiful gift for her!
    We are even doing a bird unit in homeschooling right now, which would make it a “curriculum based” gift ! {hee hee}

  777. Emily

    My oldest daughter is already stealing my binoculars, looking through scopes for Tundra Swans, and spotting flora and fauna on our nature walks. She would adore this package.

  778. Courtney

    It would be hard to say which son would love this more but I know for certain we’d love it as a family. Several months ago I returned to work full time and have found our family exploring time cut back to the few and far between. I’ve been making a conscious effort to get everyone out more again and this would be perfect in helping us get back to some of the things we love. Thanks for the giveaway!
    Courtney’s latest post: a little different this year

  779. Aimee

    That’s hard, I think both my kids would love and use this prize. They are both into bird watching, hiking, and we would all use the guides!

  782. Claire H

    I have two Naturalist Teachers in the growing! Both my boys are nature lovers and devour anything outdoor, science, nature related.
    This kit would be loved, loved and loved some more. We are always collecting snails, (we have 7 in a tank in my dinning room right now). Growing caterpillars and thinking of enticing ways we can attract wildlife to our garden habitats. We are always thinking of interesting ways to incorporate the outdoors into our home school curriculum, this kit would help immensely.
    Happy Holidays Everyone.

  784. Jeni G.

    My 7 year old daughter Courtney would love this gift! She wants to be a naturalist when she grows up, and even now conducts “nature detective” classes with her younger siblings and neighborhood kids. She is always looking for a place to build her nature center anytime we are driving around. She checks out nonfiction books and documentaries from the library. I think she knows more about animals, bugs, and plants than I do!

  785. Stacey

    My Sophia — middle child, free spirit, and nature lover! You should see all of the things I find in her pockets (new additions to her “nature collection”). Only this morning, running for the school bus, she discovered a tree in our yard that bears tiny acorns and she ran to it in her school shoes and got them all muddy (and was nearly late for the bus)!

  788. Sheila

    My 4-yr-old son would most definitely enjoy having this kit. He’s in the “exploring” stage right now, drawing maps of just about anything he’s about to do…even help setting up and decorating the Christmas tree.

  793. bdaiss

    Both my son and daughter would both love this! We live in the country and they are loving exploring their surroundings. Thanks for the chance!

  794. Tracy

    My 2yo would definitely fight his 5yo brother to use the binoculars! But I think the older brother would benefit the most from this giveaway. Thanks for the opportunity!

  797. Debra

    My 7 year old daughter would love this set! This summer we moved into a new (older) house in 2 1/2 acres of wooded bliss. C loves to go exploring outside, but her more timid nature keeps her from checking things out up close and personal. An exploring kit like this would help her to bring the wild out doors a little closer to her comfort zone. Thank you for the chance!

    My son Ben would love this set. He is an outdoors boy who is always looking in the dirt, running his net through the pond, identifying all kinds of animals, birds, and especially amphibians.

  804. Leisa

    All of our children would LOVE them, but especially our second son who is determined to run around the world (super adventurous boy). : )

  806. Bethany Staats

    My son Brantley, who is 5, would love to have such a cool little set! He loves outdoors, mud, animals and bones of any kind. He collects bones, bird feathers, shells, rocks….you name it. He would feel especially blessed by this. Thanks!

  807. Bethany Staats

    I have tweeted about this fabulous giveaway and I am now following Imagine Childhood and Simple Homeschool on Twitter! Thanks!

  808. Hannah

    My son Marek would LOVE this! He is Mr. Outside Science Man! Plus he’d share with his younger brother, Levi!

  809. Amber

    My son would love this – we have a bird feeder outside that he watches and tries to find all the bird types in our bird books.

  813. Liz

    My 4 year old son would love this gift. He is so inquisitive and he loves the play binoculars his dad made out of toilet paper rolls!

  815. Karen

    All of my 7 kids would enjoy this. Okay… the 20-month old might be a bit young, yet… LOL But the rest woul be enraptured – from the 16 year old to the toddlers.

  816. Beth

    My 6 year old son would love this! We have just started to go on hikes and he would love to have this to observe and record what he finds!

  817. Andrea R

    My daughter Kaylee, 4, would LOVE this. My daughter is a nature girl through and through, and my husband and I take our girls hiking as often as we can. Through most of the summer we travel the nature trails in the park behind our house, and Kaylee can already identify a few birds by sight. She loves looking through Daddy’s binoculars, but Daddy is a little afraid of them being dropped.

    What a wonderful giveaway!
