There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I did purchase her another microscope which came with glass slides and "grown up" materials that made my sister get all frazzled. This set comes with plastic slides, plastic hand magnifier etc. which are perfect for learning without crunching up a lot of slides and making mom worry. I was going to return the rinky-dink little scope but there are some pretty cool little gadgets that have proved to be handy for budding scientists.
Best part is the photograph in the advertisement. Don’t buy cheap.
I was initially pretty hesitant because it is so lightweight and I thought it may not stand up to the wear and tear of the mighty aforementioned six year old!
BUT...I was wrong. We got it for Christmas and it is still going strong. He loves Science and this was his favorite Christmas gift. The premade slides are awesome and you can create your own. My child had a great time roaming the premises for additional specimens. It was the cutest thing ever.
In a few years, we will probably upgrade to a more advanced model, but this is perfect for now.
