Playing outside is the most fun there is! Playing outside is not only a party for children, but it also has many advantages. At Esschert Design we therefore find it very important to continue to encourage outdoor play. When putting together our Kids in The Garden Collection, there are four points that played an important role:

1. Discover nature
2. Playing in the garden
3. Outside in any weather
4. Working in the garden

In addition, playing outside improves motor skills, increases resistance, children make friends more easily, gain self-confidence and become more aware of nature.

Our Kids in the Garden collection stimulates all these points. Today, we are highlighting the best products which take "Discover Nature" into account. This series is an asset to your assortment, as it teaches children to discover nature and the outdoors in a playful manner.

The most beautiful flowers and leaves are discovered in nature

Nature has so many beautiful colours. Set off and search, together with your friends, for the most beautiful types and special colours of leaves and flowers. During the search children discover how beautiful nature can be. When the most beautiful flowers and leaves have been collected, it is time to make a selection and dry the various flowers and leaves in this handy flower press to take along or in our special flower press for children. Depending on the thickness of the flowers, they dry within two to six weeks. The colours remain beautiful for months because of the drying. Then it is great to keep the dried flowers or plants in a herbarium. Stick one plant or flower on a page and add the details of the plant or flower. This way, children can look back and learn about nature in a playful way.

NEW: Get close to the insects

When children go into the garden, forest or park one of the first things they do is catch insects. It is a great way to discover nature. By catching insects, they study the different animals and learn a lot. They often ask questions about the different insects and gain more and more knowledge. This wooden insect study box is a great solution for children!n

Our new insect observation box can be used to observe insects, grass and leaves from various angles. The box is equipped with gauze, which makes it easy to look through. Children love to show the insects to everyone, the handle makes it easy to take the insect study box with you and show it to someone. Besides the insect study box, we have more beautiful study boxes in our range. Add all variants to your range and make the concept of discovering insects complete.

What do you discover in the water?

Playing in, with or near water is the most fun. Children can spend hours at the water's edge. How about catching tadpoles? Or discovering and collecting other water animals? While playing, you discover what is actually to be found in the water. With our special magnifying glass you can take a closer look at the water animals! The magnifying glass gives you an even better view of the tadpoles! The magnifying glass can also be used for insects, grass and leaves. Expand the collection with our study box L and study bucket to collect even more fish, insects and plants.

Gathering all the shells!

There is something magical about the sand and the sea. As soon as you take your first steps onto the beach the hunt for shells and other sea treasures begins. The mesh material ensures that the sand falls through the bag and only the best finds remain. The shell bag has a handy neck strap, so you can easily hang it around your neck while searching for the most beautiful and unusual shells.
