Absolutely Perfect for Young Explorers!

We bought this for our 4-year-old, and it’s been such a fun and educational addition to our evenings! It’s easy to use, super sturdy, and just the right size for little hands. She loves looking at the moon and spotting stars, and we love that it’s sparking her curiosity about space. Highly recommend for any budding astronomer!

Wonderful product.

Great for little ones (under 5) and my son ended up taking off the telescope and using it for acting out being a pirate. Quality is top notch! Easy to assemble.

Colorful sturdy telescope

My grandson loves his telescope and I’m sure it will last longer than any other he has played with. The tripod stand is challenging (good) but the fitting together is simple enough and holds well. Perhaps if it was a easier to actually see through it would be excellent!

Our three year old is fascinated with space. He loves looking at the moon with his telescope. We love the durability and age appropriateness of this science tool.

Small

Smaller than I thought and it's hard to see thru and you really need to focus. Not the best choice.

Great for kiddos who love space!

This is more like binoculars, but it’s easy to adjust, and seems pretty sturdy for young kids. My 3 year old loves looking at the moon with it!

This is exactly what my 5 yr old asked for

I'm glad I purchased the more durable set. I was weighing in on buying this one, or the one for older kids. With my rough young boys, I decided on this one. It works great for a 5 yr Olds use. I highly recommend!

Pretty disappointed

The kids can’t focus the telescope. They each looked through it twice and we’re done. Wouldn’t recommend.
