Kids love binoculars, but real ones can be too bulky and cumbersome for them. These are a great "training tool" to use before the real thing! I like to call these "Nature Spotters" and I originally learned this project from the Peggy Noteabart Nature Museum in Chicago.

| 1. String 2 toilet paper rolls on a long piece of yarn. |
 |
| 2. Bring the ends of the yarn together. |
 |
3. Tie a knot at the end and pull tight. The two tubes will come towards
each other side by side as you do this. |
 |
| 4. Finish your knot and you have a pair of Nature Spotters! |
These are a great way to "focus in" on small details or animals out in nature. Sometimes, all the green can be overwhelming to a child. Peering through these help kids "hone in" on an object far away such as a birds' nest or an animal.
