Magnifying Glass
I bought a bug kit and used these magnifiers today. My students had so much fun experimenting with how to use them to view the bugs.

Perfect for kids (and adults!)
I bought two sets of these for my daughter to give out to her class for her birthday and they were a huge hit with the kids! A great choice for classes that don't allow birthday treats.

Just what I was looking for
These are perfect for little hands. My son loves looking at bugs with the magnifiers. And I love that they have a hole where you can attach a lanyard. Just as described and just what I was looking for.

Perfect Magnifying Lenses
I teach outdoors science to kids (6-11). Being a geologist, I continually use my hand lens. I want the kids to mimic me being a scientist. The "Best Buy Magnifiers" are perfect. They have raised sides, which cuts down on scratching the plastic; they have a hole large enough for a shoelace, so as to hang around necks; and they have two magnifications (3x and 6x).

A great buy for any educator
These are perfect for kids to get even closer to the natural world. They are sturdy, have pretty good magnification, and have a handy dandy hole for a string to go through. If you are educating children in nature you need to have these.

Great Purchase
These magnifiers are a fun and useful addition for science activities and "I Spy" language arts worksheets. I've used them with my first and fourth grade students so far and they were a big hit. Reasonably priced and top quality too.

Just the right size !! :)
These hand held magnifiers are just what I need in the science area. I also use them during guided reading when I want students to find a specific word.
