Since moving to the suburbs, our outdoor play has changed significantly. Not only has the scenery drastically changed, but the kid’s curiosity level has amped up to a brand new level. Funny enough, he even has a “jungle hat” to wear for all of these brand new adventures.
Now that it’s officially fall, the leaves are starting to change, fallen acorns are dotting our decks and the crisp air greets us every time we go outside. They’re all perfect reasons to get out even more and take in the new sights of our new neighborhood. And luckily, to go along with the jungle hat, we’ve had a cool gadget to gain an even bigger perspective of what’s around us.
Coghlan, a camping gear manufacturer, sent us their seven-function binoculars to take along on our new suburban adventures. This gadget might look like something straight out of an Indiana Jones movie, but these binoculars are perfectly-sized for kids and boasts more functions than I know what to do with. It features binocular, monocular, magnifying glass, linen counter, compass, stereoscope and signal mirror functions—all helpful when exploring the great outdoors, whether it’s the beach, a camping trip or even a new backyard.
The kid enjoyed seeking out chipmunks and little bugs, and having the binoculars onhand to see them up close, made things seem that much cooler for him. I like that they’re lightweight, compact and easy-to-use, though we needed help learning about the stereoscope and linen counter functions before getting out there. The kid has played with these binoculars nonstop and has insisted taking them everywhere, making them another NKT fave. At right around $6 the Coghlan’s binoculars would complement any bigger kid’s outdoor adventure gear and gadgets. As if you really needed another reason to go outside and play!
Coghlan’s seven-function binoculars can be found online and at select stores that sell camping gear.
I received a product sample to facilitate this review, but as always, all opinions on NKT are my own.
