This is a well made children's toy and all the 5 year-olds in my neighborhood seem to love it. It's easy to change the slides and the information presented is interesting and appropriate for 4-6 year olds.
Very Educational

The durability of the plastic leaves a little to be desired, especially for use by curious 5 yr. old boys. But looking at bugs is still cool. My son thinks this 'scope rocks
My oldest son loves it!!

This is a very nice product for a small boy. My 7 year old loves everything related to Science and he was the one who told me this microscope was in his classroom. It provides so much information about bugs and there is no mess. I just wish we could buy more slides for the microscope.
Good for the little ones

Got the microscope for my 2nd grader and it performs well. The slides it come with are all good and has decent adjustments for focusing. The one draw back is that it talks ALL the time and there is not much of anyway to look at anything other then the slides it comes with. Its only these 2 draw backs that kept it from a perfect score.
