{"product_id":"teb-r16","title":"Insect Classification Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eInvite young learners into a fascinating miniature world with this engaging Insect Classification Set, designed to spark curiosity and support early scientific learning. Each specimen is carefully encased in clear, durable resin so children can safely observe insects up close, noticing wings, legs, colours, and patterns that are normally too tiny to explore. The set encourages discovery-based play as learners compare the insects, identify differences, and build early understanding of classification and biodiversity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEducational Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports early biological understanding by introducing insect anatomy, features, and natural diversity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilds classification skills as learners sort insects by type, number of legs, or wing structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncourages descriptive language as learners observe and discuss similarities and differences.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrengthens visual analysis and scientific reasoning through hands-on investigation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassroom \u0026amp; Play Activity Ideas:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet up a mini insect discovery station with magnifiers for close observation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse the resin specimens in a sorting activity based on habitat, size, or physical features.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair the set with insect picture books or lifecycle charts to extend learning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate a guessing game where learners describe an insect while others identify which specimen it is.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for ages 3+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsects encased in clear resin for safe observation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat's included: 25 real animal specimens encased in resin\u003cbr\u003e1.
