[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the best thing my son has played with in a while. He was able to see easily through the microscope and said everything looked "cool". I looked with him and also thought it was great. I like that we don't have to do major squinting to see everything. This will definitely be played with again and again.
My preschooler loves this!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter is 3 and absolutely loves using this. She thinks she's a scientist. It's great interaction also between yourself l, as a parent or caregiver, and your child. Especially on rainy days like we had when it arrived!!! Visually the outside is kind of plain and I feel like they could've made it look more realistic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really great product my 5 year old enjoyed learning with this although it was a little boring for her as she says. She wants a real microscope where she can make her own slides. Wide variety of slides and very cool. The information packet describing everything was awesome. I think it's a wonderful first microscope and definitely sparked interest in science and made her want a real one to explore even more. I would recommend this easy to use and very educational.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loved this microscope. He is always intrigued by the things around him, and his newest fascination has been germs and blood, and other bodily things so we have spent a lot of time looking at those slides and discussing them. When he asks science questions that relate to the slides it's been fun to use it and discuss with him. It's been a great way to learn and interact.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was pretty awesome! I think I enjoyed it more than my kids. My kids go to a nature school so they were able to relate to a lot of things they saw on the slides. Sometimes it was difficult to get the slides to focus and view easily. Overall the kids loved it and have enjoyed ot greatly
Liked by the children; sturdy but slides not super sturdy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 2.5y/o & 5y/o received this to review from BzzAgent. They love this, to look at the pictures, etc., and they like to play with it. The actual Microscope is sturdy and well designed, and has held up to them playing with it. I am concerned that the slides will not hold up at all with their use; especially because it doesn't fit easily (and stay easily) in the slide. Slightly thicker plastic probably would have helped. Great beginner microscope, though. (My 8y/o wasn't amused for long, but the younger two were).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would say it's perfectly ok for a kids microscope. It says for ages 5+ but, It's not interactive at all and my 5 year old can't read. So she either needs me to be involved and read the little slide facts handout to her or all she really is doing is looking at a slide of something and she won't know what it is unless I'm there to tell her.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This toy is a great educational toy and great for kids who love learning about science stuff. The only thing I had a problem with was there aren't any additional slides that can be purchased for this. Which is a real bummer but other than that it's great.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My littles absolutely love this microscope! Our older children have a real microscope and my younger ones sometimes get upset when they can't figure out how to see the slides clearly on it. So this jr microscope was perfect for them. They love looking up the information in the booklet that's included and telling me all about what they saw in their microscope!
So fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a great time as a family discovering and looking at the different items up close. It gave us great talking points and learning opportunities. The microscope is high quality and I can see us all using this over the next couple years. I have twin 5 year old boys.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 4 and 6 year old kiddos loved this! They spent hours looking through each disc and guessing what it was! Easy to use and easy to store. The storage underneath the scope for the cards is a brilliant idea!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love this Geosafari Jr. Kidscope. This kidscope is an amazing way to introduce the concept of microscope to the younger kids and also introduce Science to them. This is really cute, extremely portable and well built. It is also very easy to use for the younger kids. The kidscope comes with a variety of slides, talking about various topics like plants, vegetables, body parts and more. This definitely increased my kids interest in some of the slides and they wanted to learn more about them. I would say that this is definitely an amazing and educational toy for kids. It is the perfect way to introduce Science to the younger kids.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to receive this in exchange for my review. I have a 7 and a 4 year old who love science. Everything was simple to use, very detailed and understanding. The pictures are clear to see, even my 4 year old who can't read was able to distinguish most of the pictures so he can see under the scope. The only cons is that eventually after they looked at all the slides they did get bored of it. It's not that interactive for their age to understand, but it was very educational and cool for them to see everything up close.
