Frequently Asked Questions
What age is the Toy Telescope for?
It is made for children aged 4 to 8, as a first introduction to astronomy. The telescope is 40 cm long, so it is easy for small hands to hold and point.
What is included with the Toy Telescope?
You get the 40 cm telescope with a 30 cm tripod and 10 experiment sheets. The sheets give children things to try and look for as they learn how the telescope works.
How much does the Toy Telescope magnify?
The magnification runs from 1x up to 15x. It has a 35 mm objective lens, which is the front lens that gathers light and forms the image you then magnify.
How does a telescope like this work?
The objective lens at the front collects light from a distant object and bends it to a focus. The eyepiece then magnifies that image so the object looks closer and larger.

Bought this for my nephew’s birthday and he’s barely put it down. Sturdy enough for little hands and the focus wheel is easy to turn. Wouldn’t expect to see the rings of Saturn with it, but the moon looks lovely and that’s all he wanted.

Got this for my grandson Alfie, he’s seven. His little face when he spotted the moon! Worth every penny.

Ordered again from here as the last gadget we bought was spot on, and this one didn’t let us down. Arrived quickly, nicely packed, and the kids took it straight into the garden after tea. Only niggle is the instruction leaflet is a bit thin, but you work it out quick enough.

bought this for my grandson Alfie’s 7th birthday and he hasn’t put it down since. He dragged us all into the garden on the first clear night to look at the moon, then spent ages telling his mum about the craters. Chuffed to bits, and so am I.
