I got this a while back at a nature store, it is actually a pond and tadpole box but it works fabulously for all sorts of nature exploration. They can be hard to find but if you have a small local toy store, that would be a good spot to try. Here is the only link I could find for one on amazon.
It works great because it has the scooper, which also has a magnifier! Good Luck! G -

My favorite time at the beach is mid afternoon, just after the littlest kids have been brought home for naps and just before the rowdier teens show up.
I love how the tidal pools are filled with things that are easily found and captured - of course we always release them, but it is great for the kids to be able to see such a wide array of things.
