Educational Insights GeoSafari Kidscope, Kids Microscope, STEM Toy for Ages 5+

Purchased this for my five year old grand son and he really likes it. I like how he can store the little slides in a drawer built right into the microscope. Nothing can get scattered or lost.

Very disappointed when I watched my 7year old niece open this for a Christmas gift. When she tried to look into the scope, the head of the scope would always droop down. As adults we checked to see if there was a way to adjust the head but wasn't. Also the slides were very vague when you looked into the microscope to view. Overall, needless to say my neice who loves nature, bugs, trees, was disappointed with this gift I had given her which when she is disappointed, I was greatly disappointed with this purchase.

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 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.

We were so excited to open this. We had to purchase batteries separately. The variety of slides was really cool. There are animals and minerals which we were excited to look at. There was also blood, which my seven year old was excited about. This toy is sturdy. There is a drawer for the slides which is a huge plus. Once the slide is on it does move a round a bit so you'll have to show them how to rotate the slides. This is so much easier than the other one we had with real glass slides.

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 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 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

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.

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).
