The TTS Digiscope lets children get up close to the tiny details of the world — the veins in a leaf, the weave of a fabric, the grains in a rock. It's a 3-in-1 digital microscope: stand it on its base, hold it in the hand to explore outdoors, or plug it into a computer to view and capture what's under the lens. A simple twist switches between 50x, 100x and 200x magnification, with a 2x zoom for an even closer look, so children can build real observation skills at their own pace. Features: 3-in-1 design — standalone, handheld or connected to a computer Detachable image head for flexible viewing angles Twist between 50x, 100x and 200x magnification, plus a 2x zoom Two bright LEDs, above and below the base, to light up specimens Included software to view live images on a computer or whiteboard and capture them Works indoors and out; suitable for ages 3+ Ways to use it: Look closely at everyday objects, plants, minibeasts and materials Project a live image on the whiteboard for the whole class to see Capture and save images to compare, label and write about Take it outside to explore leaves, bark and soil in the field Support the 'working scientifically' strand — observing closely with simple equipment Robust, portable and easy for small hands, the Digiscope brings science to life by turning close observation into something children can see, share and record.

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.

The Easi-Scope 3 lets children explore the tiny details of the world with nothing else to set up — no computer, no cables, just a microscope they can hold and a screen built right in. Rest it on a leaf, a coin, a piece of fabric or a minibeast and the magnified image appears instantly on the 2-inch display at up to 43x. One button captures a still or a video, so children can save what they find, compare it and talk about it. It's portable, rechargeable and simple enough for young hands to use on their own. Features: Handheld microscope with a built-in 2-inch screen — no computer needed Up to 43x magnification with its own LED lighting Single-button operation to focus, view and capture images or video USB rechargeable — no disposable batteries to replace Connect wirelessly to a tablet or computer to share on the big screen (iOS, Android and Windows) About 11 cm tall and 7 cm across, and light enough to take outdoors Ways to use it: Look closely at leaves, insects, fabrics, rocks and everyday objects Capture and save images to label, compare and write about Share a live image on a tablet or whiteboard for the whole group Take it outside for pond dipping, bug hunts and nature work Support the 'working scientifically' strand — observing closely and recording Portable, rechargeable and ready in seconds, the Easi-Scope 3 turns close observation into something children can see, capture and share for themselves.

The Easi-Scope Wireless lets children explore up close without being tied to a computer. Hold the microscope over a leaf, an insect, a coin or a piece of fabric and the magnified image streams straight to a tablet or computer over a wireless connection — so a child can wander the classroom or head outdoors and still show everyone what they've found. At up to 43x magnification with its own LED lighting, and one button to capture a still or a video, it's a simple, motivating way into science and close observation. Features: Handheld wireless microscope — view live on a tablet or computer, no cables to the device Up to 43x magnification with built-in LED lighting Single-button capture for still images and video Wireless range of up to 10 metres on a clear 2.4GHz connection Rechargeable — no disposable batteries to replace A larger, easy-grip body designed for little hands Ways to use it: Send a live magnified image to a tablet or whiteboard for the whole group Take it outside for bug hunts, pond dipping and nature work Capture and save images to label, compare and write about Pass it around a group so everyone gets a close look Support the 'working scientifically' strand — observing closely and recording Wireless, rechargeable and easy to share, the Easi-Scope Wireless brings hands-on microscopy to the whole class, indoors or out.

Take speaking and listening outside with the TTS Outdoor Big-Point set. These large outdoor recordable sound buttons let children record up to 30 seconds of speech, a question or a sound, then press to play it back — loud and clear enough to hear across a playground or garden.

Talking Butterflies bring recording and role play together for early years and primary. Each of the 6 clip-on butterflies has touch-sensitive points — press to record a short message, then press again to play it back, up to around 500 times. Best of all, the wings are interchangeable: swap them over and the same base becomes a dragon, a bat, a fairy or a creature of the children's own invention, so one set stretches across all sorts of topics. What's included: 6 green clip bases with touch-sensitive record and play 6 sets of interchangeable wings to make butterflies and other winged creatures Up to around 500 playbacks per recording (depending on length and volume) A screw-in clip to hold the wings, and a magnetic strip on the back Clip onto washing lines, branches, fences and displays, or stick to metal Each butterfly is about 12 cm; runs on LR44/AG13 button batteries Suitable for ages 3+ Ways to use them: Record minibeast facts for a bug hunt or a nature table Bring a story to life — a talking cave surrounded by 'flying' creatures Hide a spoken clue on each butterfly for a listening trail Practise counting, letters or new words in a way children want to touch Let quieter children record and share an idea in their own time Hands-on, re-recordable and endlessly changeable, Talking Butterflies turn speaking and listening into something children can hold, clip up and play back for themselves.

These recordable talking pegs let children clip a short spoken message wherever it's needed. Flick the switch to record, touch the contacts and capture up to 10 seconds of audio; flick to play and touch again to hear it back. There are no fiddly buttons — just a simple touch switch — so even very young children can record and re-record on their own. The set of 6 comes in bright rainbow colours, and each peg is about 10 cm, sized for little hands. What's included: 6 recordable pegs in 6 bright colours Up to 10 seconds of recording and loud, clear playback per peg Simple record/play touch switch — no buttons to press Clip onto surfaces or attach magnetically, indoors or out About 10 cm each, easy for small hands to open and move Replaceable button-cell batteries (type AG13/LR44) Ways to use them: Make a talking number line, timeline or labelled display Clip to a den, model or artwork so children can explain what they made Set up a treasure hunt with a spoken clue on every peg Record an instruction beside an activity for children to follow Sequence the parts of a story, or practise new words and phrases Because they clip or stick almost anywhere and are so easy to operate, these talking pegs suit children with additional needs and work right across early years and primary classrooms.
