I got this for my six year old niece's birthday and she opened it while staying with us for a visit. She and my two sons (6 and 3 years old) played with it constantly all week long. They: looked at ants crawling on the sidewalk, used the tweezer to capture beetles to put into the small, lidded vials for examination (catch and release, of course), looked at leaves, dust bunnies, clods of dirt, everything indoors and out. She said it was the best gift she has ever gotten.

It's small and convenient to take along everywhere and even has a lanyard to clip to the microscope when out and about. When inside, it can be clipped into the holder so that is standing upright like a more conventional microscope.

I am buying a bunch more for the upcoming birthdays of my son's friends.

Lots of fun. The prepared slides are great. Great for exploring the backyard, beach, or forest.

This toy is educational and interesting to my 10 year old Grandson. Our only regret was the size of the microscope. It is only about the size of my index finger.
