Q: are you supposed to see two side by side images?
submitted by cld - 3 years ago
A: Hi!
You are only supposed to see 1 image when you look into the Talking Microscope, however the microscope was designed for kids’ eyes and the pupillary distance is different for kids than adults, so it might not come 100% into focus for an adult but it will for a child. I hope that helps, please reach out to our customer service team if you have an issue with your GeoSafari Jr. Talking Microscope from Educational Insights. They can be reached at GetHelp@EducationalInsights.com.

Q: What age group is this for? The box reads age 3+, is this too childish for a 7 year old?
submitted by Microscope - 6 years ago
A: This is an introduction to a microscope as a science tool. It's definitely not to childish, however, they may memorize the content quicker than a 3-year-old.
This talking microscope has captivated young minds with its engaging design and educational content. Guests appreciate the interactive features, including quizzes and fun facts narrated by Bindi Irwin, which enhance the learning experience. However, many express a desire for additional slide sets to maintain interest and extend playtime. Overall, it serves as a fantastic introduction to science for children, sparking curiosity and exploration.

Purchased for my granddaughters kindergarten graduation. It was well received and sparked some inquisitive questions. Her mum has since shared she is engaged and uses it often. The only con is you are unable to purchase additional slides

Photos/Film in Slides Not in Correct Position
The slides are slightly "off" .. you cannot see the entire slide through either eye. When you look through, you see two images but neither are centered in the eyepiece.

Wonderful educational toy for a young scientist!
My granddaughter loves science and she went through every slide as soon as she turned it on. It is so well done and Bindi's enthusiasm is wonderfully contagious. Please make additional slides, I will be purchasing them as soon as they become available.

No additional slides?
I have bought this for my very inquisitive 6 year old grandson. He loves anything to do with Science and Nature so a perfect gift for him! A bit disappointing to say the least that you do not market additional slides for ongoing education and capturing users imagination. I know he would use this time and time again if additional slides were available and we would be happy to continue purchasing them. It's a problem others have flagged up too. It let's the product down a little.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave it to my great nephew and he hasn't stoped playing with it. He will not let his parents have a turn cuz he's very protective and he loves it so much he's not willing to share. Hurray!

Doesnt work
This doesn’t work. It says for example “you picked a fly” and the picture is of a bee. The full slide doesn’t show in the camera either. Poorly made product.
