Discovery Praying Mantis Encounter

The Discovery Praying Mantis Encounter is a praying mantis habitat made of netting which allows 360 degree of viewing. Children can watch praying mantises hatch, hunt, shed their exoskeletons and more. It comes with a hand-held magnifying glass, padded tweezers, an observation journal just like the ones scientists use, and a certificate for praying mantis eggs you can have shipped directly to your home.

Discovery Frog Pond Habitat

The Discovery Frog Pond Habitat is a fun and simple natural science toy. It has a vented, see-though lid that lets young explorers watch tadpoles turn into frogs. The tadpoles are shipped directly to your home and will enjoy a realistic "rainforest" environment in their new, unbreakable, escape-proof habitat.

Discovery Butterfly Canopy

The Discovery Butterfly Canopy lets kids watch caterpillars change into beautiful butterflies in a reusable habitat that can be collapsed and stored when not in use. The fine mesh screen allows viewing from all angles and opens easily to allow you to release the butterflies into your garden. Comes with a certificate to have caterpillars shipped directly to your home.

Natural Science Toys

Sea Monkeys are so yesterday. Today's natural science toys are much more interesting and easier to manage. The Discovery Illuminated Ant Gel Habitat, for instance, creates an environment the colony can both live in and eat. Gross, but cool.

There are many other natural science toys such as mini-habitats for butterflies, frogs and insects which help teach children the wonders of nature first hand.
