Magnifying Glass

March 06, 2025 - By Brenda Carlsonfrom Newark, CA

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.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Perfect for kids (and adults!)

November 30, 2022 - By Katie Carrfrom Napa, CA

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.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Just what I was looking for

August 26, 2016 - By Amberdawnfrom Carson CA

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.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Perfect Magnifying Lenses

August 17, 2016 - By Dorafrom San Diego, CA

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).

Yes, I would recommend this product.

A great buy for any educator

June 21, 2016 - By enthusededucatorfrom Midland, TX

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.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Great Purchase

February 04, 2016 - By ESLgalfrom Massachusetts

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.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Just the right size !! :)

April 06, 2015 - By TeachKinderfrom Palmetto, FL

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.

Yes, I would recommend this product.
