So interesting and fun

Exactly as advertised

Will keep you occupied

Says from 5 but good for a bright 4 year old.

The 4 year old girl so loved this product

Not so great

Bought this for my son's birthday and stored it until then. He opened it and was so excited but unfortunately the light didn't work so the entire product was a waste. Can't return it because it is "out of the return window" so it turned out to be a bit of a sad day for him and us. Don't buy this as a gift in advance. The quality itself was also a little bit disappointing for the price.

This looked like a really cool scientific-inspired toy that is more interesting than your standard boring toy. It's certainly not a microscope but moreso a magnifying toy which you can use with the given slides or other objects that will fit. It's nice to have an educational toy we can explain and inspire them to think differently with. Pros: • Simple and easy to use: no set up required and self explanatory • Super engaging: it's a really smart idea, and a good way to get kids to contemplate how tiny things fit into their environment • Range of images: each image belongs in a set, and the set can be found on one disc. You put the disc on the light dial, and then voila! Up close with a bug wing or a gemstone which is pretty clear too • Informative: comes with a little fact book to accompany the images • Adjustable focus: this is a great way for kids to get more imvolved and understand depth of focus • Storage drawer: there's a smart little drawer on the base of the microscope to store the viewing discs to protect them and keep them in one place Cons: • The discs are a little flimsy, and i think that they could get scratched if they are not taken care of • You can't adjust the nose width of the lenses • Batteries not included (3xAAA) • Lenses don't magnify too much (3 times), so don't expect this to be like a proper microscope Overall this toy is well-built, well-designed and fun to use too. I had a great time explaining all the little things to my nephew and it was interesting for the little ones as well as my older niece. It's a great start to get them into science whilst they're young and seemed to keep them entertained for a while. Definitely good to teach your child patience and attention to detail, but no, it's not a microscope so if that's what you want look elsewhere as this is definitely more of a toy to get them used to the concept of small objects and magnification.

Good

Materiales muy malos, pero bueno

Ovviamente non è un telescopio e non è neanche un microscopio. È solo un giocattolo con una lampadina che ti fa vedere delle immagini (incluse) di cose ingrandite. Non ha alcuna funzione di ingrandimento e quindi non si può usare al di fuori delle immagini già fornite.

Muy simple, endeble, la verdad si lo compran lo van a arrumbar en una esquina.

Exactly like pictured! Sparks kiddos interest in learning about microscopes!
