LookLook cards are our wildly popular wildlife trading cards. These cards were designed in 2012 by Tim Ferguson Sauder and his student- run company, Return Design, originally at Gordon College and now at Olin College. Tim wanted to make something similar to Pokemon cards that would teach kids about local wildlife. 15 years later, these cards are in the hands of thousands of kids and former kids who have attended Kestrel programs, and traded in schools and forests all over Essex County and beyond.

History:

Tim and his design students at Gordon secured a grant from Sappi paper company to make their idea come to life. They reached out to Kestrel in 2012 to offer to work with us on the design and donate the cards to us. We sent ecologists and Magic the Gathering fans to help Return Design include ecologically accurate information and panels that would facilitate wildlife-related games.

Each card features an animal found in Massachusetts and includes standardized information about the animal, including habitat, size, and trophic level.

Tim and Return Design completed the design and printing and donated all packs of LookLook cards to Kestrel. There has only ever been one printing of the cards. We’re now down to just one box of sealed card packs.

Play a “battle” game, storytelling games, or just trade cards with friends and strangers.

Your LookLook card pack includes 14 randomly selected LookLook cards and one food unit card.
