Do you have children who love to discover things? My daughters are all about discovery. They love to go outside and find all sorts of things. I think letting children discovery things on their own is a wonderful thing. One of their favorite things to discover outside are bugs. They also love finding different creatures in the water. We’ve never been to the ocean, but I know my girls would have a blast if they were able to go see all the wonderful creatures in the ocean.
I received one of these great Discovery Boxes from Revelae Kids. They have many different boxes to choose from. I wanted to go with the ocean exploration one because my daughters love all things in the ocean. This box contains:
- 3 sea creatures
- 3 colorful fish
- 3 starfish
- 6 colorful shells
- 8 multi-colored ice rocks
- 1 large crystal
- 3 aquarium plants
- 2 lbs. aqua water beads + 1 refill
- Bubble scoop
- Magnifying glass
- 11″ x 11″ clear storage box with detachable lid
The first thing you want to do with this box, is to take out the beads and put them in a bowl. I’ve used these before, so I knew what I was supposed to do. For those of you that are new with these, it’s very simple to do. You just have to add some water to the bowl so that the little beads are all covered up. You’ll want to let them sit in the water for about 12 hours so that they can grow in to these bigger water beads.
Kids will enjoy hours of imaginative play; scooping, collecting, and sorting the hidden treasures within this box. My daughters have had a lot of fun with this box. They love to use the scoop to scoop up all the items. I would have to say that’s their favorite part. They also love picking up the beads and just playing with them. I actually had this box out for my daughter’s birthday party last weekend, and the kids loved it. They all played with it for a long time. It’s great to have a nice box like this where kids can be very entertained for hours.
My oldest daughter, Mercades was having fun checking out all the underwater creatures with the little magnifying glass that this box came with. My girls have always loved looking at items though a magnifying glass. This discovery box makes it easier for them to search for all of the ocean creatures and even learn more about them.
Since there are smaller pieces with this discovery box, it’s recommend for the ages of 3+. I would highly recommend one of these boxes for children. My daughters have been playing with their box for a long time. They love to take it out after school and scoop up all the pieces. I think it’s a wonderful way for them to discover more about the ocean as well. You can purchase your very own box HERE. Some of the other themes include Ocean Exploration, Butterfly Garden, Rainforest Exploration, Dinosaur World and more.

That is such a fun idea. My little one had sensory issues and would have loved this when he was little.
I love it too! It’s such a great way for kids to do something hands on.
Now this is the best way for kids to learn. Hands on is always key for children. It’s the only way they stay interested.
I completely agree. Hands on is definitely the best way for kids to learn.
This discovery box is a great idea. Learning is really only cemented in a child’s mind when it’s done in an interactive way.
I completely agree. I love hands on items for kids.
That is the coolest. I had a really hard time with certain subjects in school. I could have used an interactive experience to make it more approachable for me.
Same here! I love these great hands on items. My daughters have so much fun with it too.
My twin granddaughters will have a blast with this. I need to get this for them.
I bet they’d love it! There are a few different boxes to choose from too. I’d love to get more for my girls too.
We have been to the ocean quite a number of times, but I think my son would actually like this even better than that. I’m going to have to order it for my child he would be in heaven.
I bet it was lovely being able to see the ocean. I can’t wait to go sometime! I know my daughters will love it.
That is so cool! What a great learning and sensory experience!
Right! I love it.
Now this looks such a cool way to explore and learn! The water beads always look such fun as well. x
The water beads are always a lot of fun. I use to have them a few years ago and we love them.
This would have been great when my son was younger. He had sensory therapy and he would have enjoyed this.
I bet he really would have loved it. I’m 27 and I still love it!
My niece and nephew love playing with water beads so I bet this kit would be something they would totally love! I like how you get everything already put together in a kit instead of buying items separately.
I agree about it all being together. I really love that too.
This is such a cool product! This would keep my kids engaged for hours!
Right! My daughters can play with this for such a long time.
This is a great thing for sensory play. It looks intriguing for little ones.
Definitely! My daughters have been having so much fun with this.
Oh my goodness, what total hands-on fun. This would be great as a class gift for my Baby Miss’ Kinder Class. The water beads make it a fun activity, too!
That would be great! I bet they’d love that too.
What a fun idea for little oceanographers! This would be a great extension of fun after our upcoming aquarium visit.
My daughters have certainly been having a lot of fun with this product too.
I love when kids are given the opportunity to learn by experience and interaction! This is too cool!
I completely agree. It’s so wonderful.
Aww, this is the best. I love fun activities like this. Water beads are a guaranteed hit for the kids.
They sure are. My daughters have always loved them.
How cool is this? I think my son would love to play with something like this. He loves identifying different things everywhere we go, so this is perfect.
That’s great to hear. I love that kids can have so much fun identifying things.
I want one of these for myself! I know my kids would love it – especially this summer when school’s out!
I play along with my girls too. The water beads are really fun to play with.
That is really cute. My daughter loves water and animals so she might enjoy something like this.
That’s great to hear. My girls love it as well.
That looks like a really great educational toy for kids. I’ve never seen anything like it. I don’t have any kids, but I will definitely consider it next time I need a child’s gift.
I think they’d make great gifts. All the kids at my daughters birthday party loved it. Their ages ranged from 5-8 and they had a lot of fun with it.
Ah this is so fun! My kids would totally love this. Just this morning my 9year old was playing with the biggest worm ever
That’s awesome! At least she’s not afraid to play with anything. That’s always a good thing.
This is a perfect gift idea for my friends little girl. I will have to pick this up for her birthday.
These would make great gifts. My daughters loved them so much I’d love to get them another.
My daughter played with something similar when she was in therapy.. love this! Such a creative twist to a rice sensory box.
Definitely! These make great sensory items.
Tactile experiences are so important to kids learning. And like you’ve done, it’s important to make it fun so they will enjoy the learning process more as they grow.
I agree. It’s very important for kids to learn and have fun while doing that too.
This is such a cool idea. I love those little bead things.
Me too! They’re fun to play around with.
I have a niece and she have water beads. These are so cute and so colorful
I’m sure she’d love this then! They’re so much fun.
i love this idea. it looks like so much fun and a great way of learning.
It is a great way for kids to learn. My daughters have been having so much fun with it.
I can see kids (and me) having hours of fun with this. Identifying the animals and playing with the “ocean”. The imagination aspect is what appeals to me.
It is hours of fun! I’ve been using it along with my girls. It’s very fun and entertaining!
This looks like so much fun! What a great idea for kids to explore the ocean in their home!
Right! My daughters have been having a lot of fun with their box.
What a great ides! Those water beads are just so fun and they can be used for 100 different things.
I agree! You certainly can use them for all sorts of things.
Oh my this is super cool! My boys would have so much fun with one of these I have to get one!
I hope they really like them! They’re so much fun.
I’ve never even heard of these and know my kids would love them. What a fun and innovative way to get their little minds going.
They are very fun. My daughters have been having so much fun with them.
So when are you guys planning a trip to the ocean? I am sure this gift has inspired them to want to go even more. We can’t wait to read that blog too!
I have no idea at this point. I wish I could just up and go, but I know someday we’ll be able to see the ocean. I would love for my girls to be able to experience going to the ocean.
This is so cool. We have the dinosaur one and love it. These are such an awesome idea.
That’s awesome to hear. I’m glad you love yours too.
I wish they weren’t so expensive, because my kids are 6 and 5 and STILL love discovery boxes! We went to a center that had things like that, but the center closed. I’ve been making my own at home!
I think they’re so neat! I do agree a bit on the price, but for kids to be so happy I find it worth it. They play with them for hours and they last for a long time too.
Ih my kids would have love that when they were little. This type of things are what I miss th most that they did.
I bet they’d still love it! I certainly do.
This would be perfect for Abby. I bet she’d spend hours discovering all of the sea life. I’ve never seen a discovery box like this before.
They’re so much fun. Even I enjoy playing with this with my girls.
I am not a kid anymore but I’m loving it already 🙂 this is a good start for kids to learn about the beauty and awareness on how to keep our ocean clean.
I completely agree. I’m no kid and even I love it!
