Great toy... but... Nov 11, 2006
By godiva
"frazzled momma :)"
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 Aug 21, 2007
By Tasha C. Piontek
"tabberdabber"
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 Oct 27, 2006
By J. Loock
"mariposa013"
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.

Wish I'd Known.... Aug 31, 2010
By D.Fern
"D.Fern"
The slides are photos. The slides are limited in number to what you get with the microscope, so once you've memorized them, the "educational value" becomes limited. The stage of the microscope is on such an angle as to make it difficult to place "found objects" on it to view under magnification. Really, is this the best we can come up with for the 5 to 7-year-old crowd interested in science?

Slides are not of real bugs Nov 27, 2007
By Kathy Spaulding We bought this for a 5 year old and she enjoys it. Very durable. I was disappointed that the "prepared slides" are not of actual bugs - they're pictures of bugs - some of them very, very tiny pictures. For example, the bee picture is microscopic, so when the slide is put in the microscope, it's still smaller than a real bee.
I agree with other reviewers that additional slide sets would be nice - even if they don't have a "talk" code to go with them.
