I always wanted a metal detector as a kid. When we would take family trips to the beach, I’d do some digging for buried treasures on my own, but became quickly discouraged at the sight of those old men with metal detectors.
They probably beat me to all those lost diamond rings and really old coins that I just knew were a few feet under the sand. RUDE.
So when Learning Resources informed me that they could help today’s little ones best those old gold diggers with their new metal detector for kids, I was all over it!
We took it with us when we visited the beach for the first time, and while we didn’t find any treasures, it was still a major hit. I may or may not have had a wee bit of trouble sharing it at first, but now I am totally comfortable letting the kids run around in our yard with it. As long as I get my turn, too.
What? This is totally normal, you guys. TREASURE MAY BE LURKING!!!!
My kids love this great outdoor toy. And yes, it really does function as a metal detector. It requires batteries to run, and it lights up and makes noise whenever it gets near metal. Pretty awesome!
Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win a Learning Resources metal detector for themselves their children.
