Nature Vacation Supplies: Nets

A great thing to have on hand at home and on vacations is a net, or 2, or 3...

The dollar store by us has them for $2.99. I just bought 2 - and I need to go back for more!!! My 4 kids like them and for the summer I have 2 extra children I babysit. Of course, there are all of the friends that come over and need one!
They love to go frogging, canoeing, wading, bird watching ... in the creek behind us. These 2 pictures are from our vacation rental in Missouri 4 years ago.

Get one for each child and just let them explore - see what they find - have them tell you all about it. Watch their faces lite up. We have a bunch of field books for looking up their finds, if they want to. Oh, and by the way, keep your camera with you!
