TTS Recordable Magnifying Glass for Kids 6pk
$149.00 ex GST
($163.90 inc GST)
The TTS Recordable Magnifying Glass set lets children look closely and say what they see — no writing required. Each recordable magnifier holds down to record up to 30 seconds of speech straight into the handle, so a child can describe a leaf, a bug or a rock while they're still looking at it. The dual lens gives 2x and 4x magnification for a proper close-up, and the teacher can play each recording back later, which makes it a simple way to capture and assess young scientists' observations.
What's included:
6 brightly coloured recordable magnifying glasses
Up to 30 seconds of recording and playback per magnifier
Dual lens — 2x and 4x magnification
Lightweight and easy for small hands to hold (22 cm long, 9 cm lens)
Wipeable name panel plus 5 write-on cards per magnifier, so each child's recording is easy to identify
Each magnifier runs on 2 x AAA batteries (not included)
Ways to use them:
Record observations on a nature walk, bug hunt or science table
Describe what's the same and what's different when sorting objects
Let children who find writing tricky show their thinking out loud
Play recordings back to assess progress and spark class discussion
Hard-wearing and genuinely easy to use, these recordable magnifiers bring observation, science talk and speaking and listening together in one hands-on tool.
Easi-Cars
$362.73 ex GST
($399.00 inc GST)
Product Features:
Rechargeable
All four cars can be used simultaneously without having to set frequencies
Great for developing early stages of control
Encourage the use of directional language
Engage groups and individuals
Ideal for collaborative play
Integrating ICT into your setting can be a challenge, especially in nurseries and preschools. We know that changing batteries should be the least of your worries as you plan effectively, instigate free flow learning and assess every child accordingly. With that in mind, our revolutionary range of rechargeable ICT resources designed especially for Nurseries, Preschools and Foundation stage helps you introduce ICT without the hassle.
Our Easi-Cars are a fantastic example of what this range has to offer. In four vibrant colours with corresponding handset controls, they have been designed to work together at the same time. For the first time in your setting, up to four children can use remote control resources together without worrying about frequencies clashing.
We wanted these cars to be as appealing as possible to children. With their attractive design and headlights that light up when they move, both girls and boys will be eager to start exploring your setting with these wonderful Early Years resources.
The two button control allows the cars to go forward and reverse to change direction. We class this as a 'stage two' remote control - it's a great stepping stone between simple one button (stage one) cars and three or four button cars. Stage two allows children to explore cause and effect as they make simple choices between 'forward' and 'reverse turn'.
Use indoors and out (on flat terrain). They're super for using with small world buildings, following different routes, races or just exploring and developing key ICT skills.
Easi-Cars come with a docking station for charging that doubles as a storage centre for these fantastic resources - perfect for self selection and free flow play.
With no batteries required, these innovative vehicles will not only save the hassle of replacing batteries, they will recoup the cost of batteries alone in the first year of use.
Ideal for developing directional language, communication and collaboration skills as children work and play together, control skills and appreciation of space and place, the Easi-Cars will be a firm favourite in your setting for years to come.
Set includes four cars, four handsets, docking station and power adapter.
For ages 3yrs+

Lessons for Bee-Bot
$290.00 ex GST
($319.00 inc GST)
Bee-bot Lessons is a resource pack and CD of classroom tested Bee-bot activities and learning resources, licensed for use across the whole school.
Bee-Bot Lessons was developed by Cristy McBee, a kindergarten teacher in a technology rich laboratory classroom in Rock Springs, WY. Each of the lessons has been used and refined by both the author and her colleagues throughout the school district. Each is easy to implement and has been tested in the classroom. Bee-Bot Lessons comes with a license to copy the lessons and use them throughout a school site. They work well with students from pre-kindergarten through second grade.
Bee-Bot lesson cards
Bee-Bot Lessons comes complete with a CD containing nearly 1000 images carefully matched to the lessons, such as the ones to the left that support the lesson on food groups. These brightly-coloured images are especially appealing to young children.
Card MatThe images are organised into convenient PDF files. Each lesson specifies the file containing the images that support it, along with other suggested resources, most conveniently available at schools. Print the images, follow the lesson instructions, and set Bee-Bot off on a teaching adventure for your class! With lessons for math, science, social studies, reading, art, and more, Bee-Bot Lessons can be used throughout the day and throughout the year, incorporating technology across the curriculum.
Bee-Bot Card Mat
The Bee-Bot card mat is the perfect companion for Bee-Bot Lessons. The Bee-Bot card mat is a 6 by 6 grid with a clear plastic sheet on top. The grid is designed so that each square represents one Bee-Bot step. Lift the plastic sheet, place images from Bee-Bot Lessons or those you create on the grid, and lower the plastic sheet to lock them in place. With the grid as a guide, students use Bee-Bot to explore the subject or task represented by the images. The Bee-Bot card mat provides a durable and flexible learning station for Bee-Bot that can be used in all areas of the curriculum.
Problem Solving with Bee-Bot
$290.00 ex GST
($319.00 inc GST)
Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot includes a teacher manual with instructions and objectives and a CD with 150 student challenges, licensed for use across your whole school.
Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot is targeted at students in first through fifth grades. Challenges are based on a grid which takes advantage of Bee-Bot's 90 degree turns. Initial exercises challenge students to develop simple routes for Bee-Bot and can be used with younger students. Subsequent exercises have more complicated routes tied to cartesian coordinates on the grid, providing hands-on practice in understanding graphing and mapping. Additional challenges focus on prediction, logic, sequencing, and directions. Working together on challenges helps student develop communication and collaboration skills while testing their solutions with Bee-Bot provides a motivating experience in self-evaluation.
Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot includes a teacher manual with instructions and objectives and a CD with 150 student challenges. Challenges are self-contained on one page to be easily printed and distributed to students. Each challenge is self-contained with its goal and instructions. Students solve the challenge they are presented and then test their solution with Bee-Bot. Challenges are organized by type and level of difficulty, so teachers can match challenges to student experience and ability. Challenges that emphasize mapping, graphing, predicting, and sequencing are included along with a series of challenges that present increasingly complex Bee-Bot routes.
Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot was developed by Lester Carr, a 40-year public school veteran, who drew on broad experience introducing technology into the classroom to develop Problem-Solving with Bee-Bot. Bee-Bot's simplicity and ease and use were an inspiration to develop challenges that put the motivation, excitement, and learning potential of robot technology into the hands of elementary school students.
