Fun and Educational!, 2010-08-14
Bought this for my 4 year old and also as a gift for friends daughter who is 6 and they both loved it. What a relief to find something that is exciting but also educational, and lasts more than 5 minutes. A very worthwhile present.

• Trust the Natural History Museum to devise the most efficient, most want-able pocket microscope.
• For all that it measures just 5.1 x 4.1 x 2.8cm,
• It's got 20x - 40x zoom magnification with touch-button ultra-bright LED illuminator.
• Adjust focus wheel for stunning clarity and inspect flakes of skin and the like in incredible detail.
• Comes with slides, cover slips and lens cloth

NHM Pocket Microscope, 2010-08-30
Let's start at the begining, I didn't buy this as a toy. I needed something with more magnification than my loop for some grass id work. As the cheapest field microscope with 40x mag. would cost about £70 and given the good reviews this product already had, I decided to take a punt with this and leave off the field microscope unless needed. I have to say this did the job very well. It's not perfect and has its limitations, it can be a bit fiddly and is plastic but it's light, small and only £7 not £70. More importantly, the results were very good and perfectly adequate for my needs. Don't be put off by the price, give this a go and only spend more if you decide it is warranted. It may be marketed as a toy but don't be fooled into thinking it is one and if you decide it's not good enough for your needs, what have you lost?

This game is fantastic and adaptable for children of all ages. You can really simplify the game for your little ones or make it much more complicated for older kids. My daughter just loves it and she's 2 and half.

Value for money!, 2010-08-02
My 6 month old loves her eggs! They keep her busy for at least 20 mins (which is a record!). Her little hands work away lifting the tops off and then tries to eat them. I bought these with other toys too, but this would've done on its own.
