 keep curious minds happy & busy! Aug 19, 2009
By Julia
"online shopper"
I got this for my six year old niece's birthday and she opened it while staying with us for a visit. She and my two sons (6 and 3 years old) played with it constantly all week long. They: looked at ants crawling on the sidewalk, used the tweezer to capture beetles to put into the small, lidded vials for examination (catch and release, of course), looked at leaves, dust bunnies, clods of dirt, everything indoors and out. She said it was the best gift she has ever gotten.
It's small and convenient to take along everywhere and even has a lanyard to clip to the microscope when out and about. When inside, it can be clipped into the holder so that is standing upright like a more conventional microscope.
I am buying a bunch more for the upcoming birthdays of my son's friends.

Lots of fun. The prepared slides are great. Great for exploring the backyard, beach, or forest.

Grandma's imput Jan 21, 2010

This toy is educational and interesting to my 10 year old Grandson. Our only regret was the size of the microscope. It is only about the size of my index finger.

Small, flimsy Dec 30, 2009
By tatabutton
The plastic base for the microscope is pretty flimsy and doesn't hold the slides well. It's tricky to move the slide around and get the object lined up. The microscope itself is way smaller than I expected and just plastic. My son likes it better off the stand to look at the fibers on the couch or the lines in his skin. I also hoped this would be fun for a smart 4 year old with great fine motor skills and a high interest in science. Perhaps I should have listened to the age recommendation. It won't be a waste, and I'm sure we'll enjoy it. I had just hoped for better quality.

 mom of a young scientist Feb 23, 2010
By Music Listener
We bought this microscope for our daughter as a gift from Santa.....what a disappointment!! We had to tell her that Santa messed up. The microscope couldn't be any smaller and cheaper! Can't see any image clearly - and the image (slide) will not stay in place long enough to view.
Terrible!!! Parents - Do not buy this toy!
