Easi-Detectors bring the excitement of a treasure hunt into early years and primary learning. This set of four rechargeable metal detectors — one in each colour — lets a small group explore together, sweeping over sand, soil or the classroom floor and listening for the beep that means they've found metal. They're built for young hands: a simple on/off switch instead of a fiddly dial, and a motion sensor that lets them sleep when they're put down rather than beep away in the cupboard. What's included: 4 rechargeable metal detectors in four different colours A docking station and wall charger — no disposable batteries to buy Up to 8 hours of use from a 3-hour charge, with an LED charge indicator Detects a 25mm coin from around 40mm away Each detector measures 20 cm long by 8 cm wide Suitable for ages 3+ Ways to use them: Hide coins in sand or soil and let children hunt for buried treasure Investigate what's made of metal — a table, a tree, their own shoes Talk about why it beeps over coins but not over gems or plastic Make your own 'ancient artefacts' to bury, find and write about Build communication and enquiry skills with clues, maps and questions Rechargeable, robust and ready to go straight from the dock, Easi-Detectors are a simple way to bring hands-on science and outdoor discovery to a whole group.

These Easi-Detectors do two jobs in one: each of the six is both a metal detector and a magnifier, so children can sweep for hidden metal and then take a closer look at whatever they turn up. Bury some coins in the sand tray or head outdoors, and young investigators can hunt for treasure, inspect a minibeast or examine how something is made. The detector even vibrates when it finds metal, which makes the moment of discovery clear for every child. What's included: 6 rechargeable Easi-Detectors, each with a built-in magnifier A charging dock and USB charging cable — no disposable batteries Bendable necks so children can angle them to look and search Vibration feedback when a detector finds something metallic Handles light up while charging; simple on/off switch Around 4 hours of use from a 3-hour charge Suitable for ages 3+ Ways to use them: Hide coins in sand or soil and let children hunt for buried treasure Magnify a leaf, a shell or a minibeast to look closely at the detail Investigate what's made of metal, then examine it up close Support EYFS 'understanding the world' with hands-on exploration Share a set of six across a group for outdoor discovery sessions A rechargeable, two-in-one tool for curious young explorers, these Easi-Detectors bring searching and close observation together, indoors or out.
