The world around us is full of wonder. Flipping over a rock can reveal scurrying pill bugs. Exploring your backyard might reveal a new plant you’ve never noticed before. Heading outdoors and observing the environment opens up our minds to new ideas and encourages us to think like scientists do!
At the Collectors’ Corner, traders of all ages can bring in the objects they find outdoors. Your trade could be a special rock or crystal, bones from an already-dead animal, leaves or petals, or some other natural object. The more you know about it, the more points you get in return. Those points can be used to trade for objects you can bring home and keep!
