    Great starter/introductory set.
    5 Stars
    Great starter/introductory set.
    Can't say enough about this brand and concept. Love it. Comes with an educational journal and gives you something to go on and just the right amount of information and knowledge to go on to continue on after and do yor own experiments. I chose this kit alone for the workbook because most microscopes don't give any kind of books or journals to go off of. Love the entire kit. Bought it for my 5 yr old and she is really into it. We are having fun learning together. It's just enough learning to not be too boring and also give a nice foundation and taste of what it's like to get into the lab part of science.Oh I was leary about the microscopen but it works! I'm impressed and also don't feel like I broke the bank. I have twin3 yr old boys and they are pretty rough so if they get ahold of it accidently or somehow it breaks, I won't be so upset because the price is just right.The image is of peacock feather with the back light. It's brighter in person than through my camera phone.. the white washed out the feather a bit in my camera.

    Excelente regalo para niños de 7 años, para niños curiosos y con paciencia para manejar los lentes y enfocar, muy fácil de aprender pero lleva tiempo enfocar, niños más dinámicos y acelerados puede no ser ideal. Materiales muy solidos y de buena calidad, se ve que durará un buen tiempo
