Looks really fun, Chika! It is very active and tangible. I like the "from 2D to 3D" aspect of it. Actually, I wonder if there could be a "second wow".
A "second wow" is basically a reveal that comes after the initial action and pay off (popping up the tree). Just like a Christmas calendar, famous quotes or snapple-esque information bits could be reviled. Maybe even prepared by the parent before hand, making every trip a new adventure.
Important: You need to have somebody check your grammar though.
Hi Chika, I have been thinking about your project. I love the idea of making a memory map of the city based on things that the kids find, and place in the plastic tubes, then stick in the map at the location where they found it. You have a great idea for a product. I can imagine making maps for every big city, then selling the kits at the science museum gift store, with different length clear cylinders and a map with holes in it.. They can put all kinds of weird things in there. It would then be very cool to put the whole map in the window after you have filled it up with the things that you found, then the sunlight would pass through, illuminating all of the bugs and liquid like a stained glass window. When they looked at it, they would remembering their urban camping adventure! steven
