September sees our children heading back to the classroom. It has been a long time out of formal learning for many of our kids. They have shown resilience in the face of unprecedented times. I am super proud of Erin and how she has embraced home learning but equally, I know that she is more than ready to be back in the classroom.
Make learning fun! It seems obvious but many forget the best way to keep children challenged is by making things fun. Getting kids into STEM and encouraging them to question things is a powerful learning tool. As parents, we can do our bit at home by providing them with exciting learning opportunities.
We love the Build Your Own’s new, eco-friendly cardboard Microscope kit which is perfect for kids who love to get outside and explore nature. This fully functioning microscope is easy to assemble using slot together techniques – there’s no glue, no mess, no fuss.
Everything you need is provided in the kit – simply follow the instructions: press out the pre-cut parts, add the lenses and mirror to create an impressive, portable microscope. Awesome for examining garden mini-beasts, leaves, feathers and more – you’ll be amazed at what you can see with the 30x magnification.
The Build Your Own Microscope encourages kids to immerse themselves in the fun world of science and exploration. Popular with parents too, this innovative, STEM-inspired kit reduces screen time, and brings families together to create rich memories. This opened up a great conversation about science. We are thrilled to be giving a set away too. All you need to do is complete the following widget.
We had great fun with the set and Erin was able to work independently to set up the microscope. She was then able to use it at home which created some great questions. I was also able to challenge her thoughts. I do like a sneaky bit of learning.
This piece of kit encourages children to follow instructions step by step. It then gives them the opportunity to do some practical science.
I am thrilled to have a microscope kit to give away too. To enter complete the widget below.

Art! I have always loved making and creating ever since I was tiny! I do lots of crafts now!
I loved Maths, it was just the subject I seemed most confident with and seemed to be best at. I ended up working in accounts so it kind of lead to my career.
