Bought this for my daughter’s birthday and she’s been glued to it all weekend, mostly looking at onion skin and a bit of her own hair. Sturdy enough for little hands. The light is a touch dim in a dark room, so we use it by the window, but for the money I can’t grumble.

third science gift I’ve ordered from here and they’ve not let me down yet. Arrived quick, postie didn’t even have to knock twice. Nice little scope, a bit plasticky but you’d expect that at this price. Nephew approves.

Got this for our grandson Alfie. His little face lit up when he saw a bit of leaf up close. Brilliant.

bought this for my grandson Alfie’s 7th birthday and he’s barely put it down since. He’s been squinting at everything from onion skin to the cat’s fur and keeps dragging me over to have a look. Spot on for the price, and so easy for little hands to work.
