Just like odd socks, these little goodies have no companions or place to call ‘home’ in our online store. So we’re grouping them together for you to enjoy a browse. These are beautiful items that we couldn’t resist adding to our online store and that we stock in our retail store in Foster
Pathfinders is dedicated to creating compelling, innovative, wooden science kits that challenge children of all ages to explore the link between science, design, and technology in the world around us. They aim to help the student integrate knowledge gained from constructing the kits by providing links to educational resources to enhance their understanding of math and science as well as historical principles.
Pathfinders are located on Vancouver Island in Canada and their products are manufactured in Taiwan in a local family-run factory.
Pathfinders are an environmentally friendly company and use recyclable materials, natural, untreated wood, and local resources and production as much as possible. All of their kits are tested to make sure they are 100% safe so if the dog (or a child) eats the glue then they will not be exposed to any unsafe levels of chemicals of any kind.
For many years Pathfinders have been members of 1% for the Planet and donate 1% of their sales to protecting and buying important habitat through habitat trusts and educational and advocacy organisations that aim to buy and protect critical habitat areas for plants and animals.
Wanting to bring as much love, laughter and learning into the world through healthy, sustainable choices and good old-fashioned fun, Natural Living Foster (our physical store) and Billie & Roo were born. So what started off as a small kinesiology practice with a few healthy living products and a passion to protect our beautiful planet, soon became so much more. The joy we share with customers each day, whether in person or upon the opening of a new toy through the mail, is why we’re here. We hope you can be a part of our journey … we’d love to have you aboard.
