Nighttime is a Great Time to Explore!

Father and son are crouched down next to the trunk of a tree. They are using a flashlight and magnifying glass to look at the truck of the tree.

When Elinor (from "Elinor Wonders Why") hears a mysterious voice saying: “Whooooo?” at night time, she and her mom grab their nighttime observation kit and head outside to figure out where the question is coming from. After spotting Mr. Raccoon, a gecko and some insects, they finally spot the owl — the animal saying, “Whoooo!”

What can you discover with your child while exploring at night? “Whooooo” stays up late or is nocturnal in your neighborhood? Create your own nighttime observation kit and join Elinor’s curiosity by exploring what’s outside your front door after dark.
