Not suitable for toddlers who are scared of bugs

I haven't ordered this but as a warning, some toddlers might not like the scorpion and butterfly one if they are scared of insects. Those are actually Real Scorpions and a Real butterfly in these even though the bugs are not Live and Moving (freakout moment).

Excellent for light table

We purchased these for the light table in our children's room. In a public library, items are usually well loved and roughed up. These specimen viewers are a huge hit with the kids and have held up well. No scratches or breaks. Kids love to use them with the light table.

Can't switch items in it

Viewers seem sturdy. I thought that I would be able to put other things in them. I'm not dissapointed though because it makes them safer for little ones.

Ideal for toddlers hands in science center

The quality of how is made seem durable to be handle by toddlers. The samples are so cool even for older kids. I wish they have different sets with other samples. Great Item.
