Your cart is empty.Take a magnetic matching journey through four national parks (Everglades, Arches, Acadia, Mammoth Cave)! Learn and play by matching 60 shaped wooden magnets on large double-sided scene cards to pictures shown on two double-sided identification guides. The magnetic lid slides into slots in the wooden carrying case with built-in handle; insert scene cards to create a play surface. Rearrange the magnets to tell your own stories about the animals and to play again and again! Magnets show animals and plants that are native to each park; each is identified in English and Spanish on the picture guides, so kids learn as they play! All the pieces store in the wooden crate with a built-in handle, and the lid slides back on for easy cleanup and convenient storage.

17 month old loves it. Came with so many magnets so can use on the fridge too. Keeps her entertained now and imagine it will be a great learning tool in the future!

My two year loves these and they have given him hours of play. HOWEVER, 3 of the magnets fell out the first time he played with them. Luckily, I was playing with him and was able to throw them away, but these are very small magnets and could pose a danger to a child or pet should they be swallowed. I was unable to get the magnets back into the holes of the wooden pieces to reglue them.

I really want my son to appreciate nature and the beauty of our national parks. This comes with double-sided picture scenes for 4 of the parks. It also has many animal pieces. It is a quality product and I think my son will enjoy it for many years.

I purchased this for my pre-k classroom and it has worked out wonderfully. I used it during our camping week and the students had a lot of fun adding the different animals and creating their own vignettes. This is an excellent resource for getting quieter students engaged and allowing them to work with a friend in a creative manner. The construction is excellent and I especially like how everything has its place. It packs up well and is perfect for easy storage. Our National Parks Services is such a rich treasure and being able to introduce my students to it at a young age is wonderful. If I could add one thing, it would be nice to have a Jr. Ranger included in the magnet set.

Wow. This is an awesome introduction to 4 US National Parks through a child's natural interest in animals. If your kids loves animals as most kids do, this would be a very engaging activity for them. And what kid doesn't like magnets? Combines all these features in a quality Melissa and Doug activity! We got this set to take on our visits to our grandchildren's houses and when they outgrow it, we will donate it to a classroom or one of the Sensory Rooms we have been privileged to help create, if we end up not keeping it ourselves. Maybe they will never outgrow this activity as I can see it even becoming a game for any age to see who can be the first to fill up their card with the matching animals magnets! Might just have to purchase other sets to give away! This is an excellent set, though with much smaller children it might be advisable to sort the animal magnets ahead of time and bag them as sets when playing with a younger child as the number of animal magnets might be overwhelming to have to sort through all four sets if put out altogether! Then it can be a matching game for them to find the same shape on their card, and you can do just one card at a time with one bag of animal magnets. Then, graduate to mixing two bags of animal magnets to match up to two cards, and gradually work your way up to mixing in all four sets when the child seems ready. But other than that it is an excellent activity, extremely well made, looks like a lot of fun, and a great intro to 4 US National Parks and a myriad of interesting Park wildlife! An awesome gift idea! I would purchase this again in a heartbeat and will keep it in my memory bank for future gift ideas, should I ever need one!
