This sleek little scope pretends to be a pen while it packs the double-duty power of an 8x telescope AND a precision 30x microscope.
Slip it in your pocket and set off for undercover sleuthing, bird-watching, or microscopic investigation. Extend the telescoping barrel to view distant objects 8 times larger! Or explore microscopic details on stamps, coins, insects-even skin-at 30 times the magnification! A must-have for young scientists and wannabe spies!
Grades 3 and up.
As one of the top online toy retailers, we have access to unprecendented quantities of product review data. One of the key ways that we use this data is by associating our products to the specific ages and genders of the kids who are playing with them. Whereas most retailers must rely upon manufacturer suggested ages (i.e. 3+), we take actual customer usage and share it with you here so that you can choose the perfect toy or game.
But how does this help me? You can use these graphs as a general measure of it's appropriateness for a given age and gender. While this information is generally accurate, it should not be used as an absolute answer. For instance, many dinosaur toys are purchased for boys, however, that doesn't mean that it's inappropriate for a girl who happens to like dinosaurs.

NOTE: The orange color in the charts above indicate ages that are LESS than the manufacturer suggested age. Please purchase at your discretion if your child is younger than 8 years of age.

Pocket Scope Mini Microscope & Telescope

My 9 year old and my 6 year old love it!! They love being able to look at small things like bugs and Christmas figurines as well as the details of their toys!! They keep "finding really cool things" to look at under the microscope. My 9 year old has a place in his coat pocket for it to take outside and look at things. Then at night they couldn't wait to look at the stars with the telescope and then found they could look at things during the day as well. They think it's great. I like it because it's small and they entertain themselves with it in the car and around the house.
Kids love it

Both my kids love this toy and carry it with them often for exploring. The clip that can be used to hook onto a pocket broke off on one of the two didn't effect the use of the scope and was glued back on but could be a issue with younger children, otherwise a great minddeveloping toy much like all the toys we have purchased at your store.

This microscope/ telescope is very difficult to use. It states that it is for 1st grade & up. It is very hard to see through the lens. My son who will be in second grade is not able to use it as a microscope or a telescope. I thought it would an awesome "exploring" toy for outside this summer, but I am extremely disappointed with it.
Small but useful

This is a great option for playing spy games or being able to see things closer up. It's small size makes it ideal to bring along just about anywhere!

mini pocket telescope/microscope
Posted 2/21/2011 by busy mom

My sons like to have a pocket telescope to look at birds and what not when outside. This is a nice size as it is small enough to fit in a pocket. It also doubles as a microscope and my boys can look at leaves, rocks, and bugs. It is a fun toy that doubles as two but won't take the place of better binoculars as you can't see very far with them. But my boys like it and that is all that matters.
