As a child, I remember my brother and I being mesmerized by the giant dinosaur bones and fossils at the Natural History Museum. To encourage our interests in the scientific world, we were given a microscope for Christmas and would make anything we could find into slides. We'd sneak out of bed at 2 a.m. after our parents were fast asleep to magnify dead bugs, boogers, mold, potato chips, leaves, feathers, scabs, toe nails, deer droppings... nothing was off limits for two young budding scientists.
I think it is these wonderful childhood memories that left me with a bit of a soft spot in my heart and a great appreciation for anything nature or science related. The Etsy Finds below are just a few examples of items that take me on a journey back to my youth, and you can find even more in Etsy's Natural History Gift Guide.
