science & discovery

From very young, children show an interest in discovering the world around them. Kids that watch ants travel their path, are fascinated by lightning storms and love to see if things float are all enjoying science and nature in motion. Toys that let kits explore kinetics, magnetics, gravity, gears and more make great gifts to keep inquisitive minds engaged and learning.
