I bought this for my grandson’s 9th birthday . I wanted a gift that would be educational, fun and would grow with him over the years. Who doesn’t love the adventure that a microscope can provide. I have purchased a second one for another grandsons birthday this July. He will turn 12 and I feel this is still a perfect age to explore his world.

As a grandmother I was impressed with the magnification of the microscope. When my son got the microscope and slides home, he hooked it up to the computer so the girls could see the magnification on a larger screen. So far, they are enjoying it. There is a lot more to discover and I hope this encourages them to look at life around them, rather than spending so much time on their iPad.
