We know integrating ICT is a key aim in Early Years
education. We also know that with a busy setting to run, finding that tiny
screwdriver in your toolbox and then changing batteries before every session is
something you just don't have time to do.
With that in mind, we developed a range of top notch
Early Years ICT products, designed to be durable, easy to use and importantly,
rechargeable.
This superb set of four rechargeable metal detectors, in
four colours, comes complete with a docking station and wall charger.
Ideal for use in sand or around your setting, these detectors
are a fantastic addition to your early years resources.
Unlike a lot of detectors on the market, we have tried to
make these as easy to use as possible. That means:
No attentuation wheel - we have put a simple 'on/off' switch instead
Motion sensitive - if they are left unattended, they will
'sleep', not beep!
Recharge through the included hub- great for
continuous provision and storage
Fully tested to make sure they comply to all
relevant toy safety standards for your piece of mind
Investigate what lies beneath the soil, sand, paper etc.
Will it be gold, silver, bronze or other metal? These
innovative detectors are simple to use; sweep them over objects or areas and
hear the beep as they detect the metal.
With a detection range of up to 40mm for a 25mm diameter
coin, these marvellous treasure hunters can be used to aid learning in lots of
areas:
Develop communication skills as children
search for hidden treasure, looking at clues and maps.
Investigate materials in your setting. Is
there any metal in a tree? Is there any metal on a table? Why does it beep when
I run it over my shoes?
Discuss why the metal detector beeps when it
goes over money, but not other precious items like gems.
Why not make your own ancient artefacts and hide them for
children to discover?
Batteries should last for up to eight hours in normal use
with a three hour recharge period. An LED indicates charge status.
Each detector: L20 x W8cm, for ages 3yrs+.
