Description

GeoSafari Jr. My First Microscope allows preschoolers to see magnified hidden worlds with ease! This fully functional microscope is the perfect introduction to a real science tool and STEM learning. My First Microscope has a range of magnification (2.5x–8x) designed for toddlers and preschoolers. Magnified views can be challenging for little ones to understand, so by starting with the 2.5x view (with the focusing knob turned as far away from your child as it will go), your preschooler can orient herself to the item she’s viewing, and as she turns the focusing knob towards herself, she can gradually pull away to an 8x view. The wide field of view of these lower magnifications is critical to little ones’ understanding. My First Microscope also features two extra- large eyepieces (no need to close one eye!) and a chunky, kid-sized focusing knob. A bright LED with easy push-button action lights up details for even more discoveries. Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).Comes with Talking Microscope unit and 12 prepared interactive slides, with storage box

Feels very cheap and flimsy. It’s hard to position the lens in a functional way

    • Good toy; 8x magnification.
Color: Multi-color
Prior to buying this microscope for my daughter, I read a LOT of Amazon reviews of it. I ultimately decided to purchase it after reading the description a few more times. This is a simple microscope for kids to use. There is one large knob used to focus, although it really is just going to zoom in or out. Having two lenses is great and makes looking through it much easier for kids. My daughter has enjoyed putting lots of different things in it and looking at them. When I was considering this, many of the negative reviews talked about the level of magnification. As is mentioned in the product description, this is an 8x microscope. Kids who have ever seen a "real" microscope are likely to be disappointed in this one. My daughter has seen a 10x and a 12x loupe, and treats this similarly. I explained to her that it would just make things appear bigger. I would agree with others that it might make just as much sense to just get a kid a magnifying glass. I think the fun of this one is that it **looks** like a microscope, which kids are probably going to enjoy. I would recommend using the lightbulb (battery powered). We did not for awhile, and it made a huge difference when we finally powered it up. You can see fine without it in good light conditions, but the light made a big difference. There is no learning code, and young kids can probably use it easily. I could definitely see many kids getting bored with this after looking at the same items a few times. At this house we are probably going to retire it soon. My kid does not play with it as much, and we just got a Dino-Lite USB Hanheld Digital Microscope , so it will be tough to convince her to go back to this one. Still, I credit this Educational Insights microscope for even getting her interested. Now, here's to open she becomes a medical researcher and pays off my student loans one day. ... show more

    • Great for preschoolers but don't expect "real" microscope performance for older kids.
Color: Multi-color
We gave this to my 5yo daughter for Christmas and she loves it. She's examined everything from leaves and tree bark and mushrooms to her own fingers and candy canes and a tiny nativity! It was simple for her to use right out of the box. I like that it's sturdy enough for her to carry around outside and examine things right where they are. She loves how easy it is to operate. Even my 2yo has figured out how to turn the knobs and turn on the light without any explanation. The one complaint I've seen is that this is less of a microscope and more of a microscope-shaped magnifying glass. This is true, and the only thing keeping me from giving it 5 stars. I would love for it to have more magnification, but I wouldn't trade the ability to look at 3D objects for it. It's enough for an entry level preschooler to enjoy and learn the concept and it's more fun than a traditional magnifying glass. My 5yo has a lot of trouble using the slides on the microscopes at our local Natural Science Museum so I know she isn't ready for anything that complex. The ability to look at any random item she finds that fits in the slot is an excellent way to keep things relevant and personal for her. Next year we may upgrade a "real" kid's microscope with slides but we will be able to use this one with my younger child for a few years more. ... show more

    • Love it

My son is OBSESSED with science and chemistry, but isn't quite old enough for one of the fancy microscopes. This is perfect! He loves getting to explore objects and feel like a real scientist with this!

I was a little worried because of the reviews that it was going to arrive broken. Luckily it came in great shape! My kids (5&7) love it and won’t stop fighting over it. I’ll have to order another. Although I would like to order the pink for my daughter I don’t know why it would be more expensive than this one. It does seem a little on the cheap side so if you have a rough child I don’t think it will last long. My 2 year old got a hold of it and I was on edge knowing if she were to drop it that it would break. Overall a good product for the price! ... show more
