Testimonials
“My 10-year-old daughter—the kid
who complains about her homework—
was all too happy to write down her
observations, draw pictures, and come
up with hypotheses. She loved it and
also learned a lot (Mom learned too!).
All learning should be fun like this!”
– DiDiAna, EI Customer
“My daughter must have spent hours in the backyard,
writing away in the journal and viewing everything with
the binoculars. [She] is a nature girl and this has really
helped her to explore it at a whole new level.”
– Miss Frugal Mommy Blog Review
