Great toy… but…,
My kids LOVE this microscope – they are 6 & 4 yrs old respectively. They have spent a lot of time peering through the microscopes viewfinder to look at the included creepy crawlies. Unfortunately – because the storage for the slides isn’t intrinsic to the microscope – they’ve gotten lost. I was also disappointed that there wasn’t an expansion pack of slides for the kids to learn more. Great toy – but limited.

|Buttons don’t work from get go,
This really IS a very cool toy. But today is the first time we used it and already the buttons don’t work properly. I am going to write the company. In theory if this toy worked as it should I would give it kudos all around. The slides are durable and seem safe enough. The pictures are good and you can, like with any microscope adjust the clarity. There is a volume control on ours so that is also adjustable. It is just getting the buttons to work that is frustrating. From the get go they had my son frustrated and he gave up after a few minutes and walked away. While it was working however, he was facinated with the facts about the bugs. He still has a little trouble keeping one eye closed while looking into the view finder though. (He’s 5) I will update this if the company helps us out by replacing the item with one where the buttons work better.

|Cheaply made, fun toy,
My son adored this toy and showed it off to everyone. Then the buttons stopped working after a week. He is so sad that it lasted such a short amount of time.
