little scientist!

I bought this toy when my kid was 2 years old, but it was a little too complicated for her to adjust the lenses. Now she is 3 years old and able to use it on her own. It encourages her to observe different objects.

Fun Children Microscope

This microscope is really cool for toddlers. I was impressed with the magnification quality when we observed what hair looks like in the petri dish. it is a great addition to my homeschool pre-k 3 curriculum.

Our little naturalist enjoys finding objects in the outdoors to magnify with this microscope. We love that he is using science tools appropriate to his age.

Waste of money

I have purchased a variety of microscopes in the past 12 years for my preschoolers. This one has the poorest quality.

Not sturdy

My 4 year old grandson loved this microscope but broke a vertical piece of plastic that allowed the image displayer to move up and down. I am disappointed in the quality of the design of the item.

I was impressed

I was skeptical at first, but after searching for a first microscope for my 3 and 5 year old I decided to go with this one and I’m sure glad I did. I was impressed how well it works!

My 2 1/2 yr old grandson loves it

I haven't seen it but my grandson loves it. I gave his 8 yr old brother the large set and they love to look at things with their own microscopes.
