Customers Say

Customers appreciate the Look & Discover First Science Set for being well-constructed and perfect for curious 3-5 year olds, with the binoculars being the most popular item. However, several parents report the telescope and microscope don't function well enough for actual observation and are better for imaginary play than as actual scientific instruments. Promotes early STEM skills and scientific thinking through hands-on discovery. Great for both classroom and home settings.

Perfect for a budding scientist

All pieces work reasonable well. The microscope was immediately used to look at everything from hair to leaves, encouraging inquiry!

A Fantastic Intro to Science for Little Learners!

The set is thoughtfully designed for curious little mindscolorful, hands-on, and developmentally appropriate. It includes a mix of simple experiments and exploration tools that help introduce basic science concepts like color mixing, magnetism, and cause-and-effect. The materials are sturdy and sized just right for small hands, which makes it easy for kids to participate independently or with minimal help. What I love most is that the activities spark genuine curiosity. Our child asks questions, makes predictions, and loves discovering how things work. It's a great way to foster early STEM skills in a fun, low-pressure way. Perfect for ages 35, and ideal for home use or in a preschool setting. Highly recommend for parents or educators looking to build a love of science early on!

Science

We used the microscope to look at a piece of quartz one of my students brought back from vacation and my Pre-Kers loved it. They've used the telescope to watch the older kids during recess and have asked repeatedly to take the binoculars outside. If you need to add something to your science center, these pieces are fun additions!

Prefect for kids

My kids don’t go to daycare, so it is essential to ensure they have enough educational toys to play with. My five-year-old was disappointed with the telescope. I wish I had bought the other one on the website. She went out at night to view the stars and got upset because she said she couldn’t see anything. It was still great for her first telescope, though.

Perfect for 5 year old interested in nature!

Our 5 year old great granddaughter was thrilled with these child friendly gifts. We also purchased a magnifying glass. She uses these every day, and calls to tell me what new things she has done each day!

not impressed

This set seems much more appropriate for 3 years and under. The items don't function the way I would hope, and are hard to use (the microscope) and I was overall disappointed in these items. They seem more for imaginary play than anything even remotely functional. My kids got frustrated by the telescope and microscope pretty much instantly. The binoculars were the best thing in this set.
