Hours of outdoor entertainment for the summer and school holidays - These little bug pots with 5× magnification lenses were a winner with my grandsons aged 2 and 4. They could really see the details of spiders and wood lice. We also found a baby slow worm and a baby grass snake which were released straight away where we found them. I an sure that when the summer arrives there will be lots more of mini beasts to find and study. The pots are hard to open at times. There is a knack to closing them. You need to gently push the lid down anad twist the pot at the same time.
