COOL!
Cool was all we heard with the changing of each slide. Our budding entomologist loves this microscope. She took it to school to share with her friends and the teacher bought one for their classroom. I just wish you could purchase extra slides.

Great fun, but LOUD
I got this microscope for my children (ages 6, 4 and 2) for Christmas, and they fought over using it. Once I emphasized the importance of caring for the slides, the 6 year old took over that duty. I'm delighted by their interest, and hope it sparks desire to learn more science. I plan to get them a more sophisticated microscope in a few years. My big girl has already looked at her own hair and a few other tiny things that are not on slides. My only quibble is that the talking voice is VERY LOUD with no volume control, and I wouldn't want them hanging over it for too long at a time.

Pretty good!
This was a gift for my 4-year-old. Bugs are inherently interesting to boys, of course! And this toy will reinforce his letter identification skills. (It requires that a letter code be punched in before a bug is identified.) The only bad thing so far is that it is hard for him to put on the slide box lid by himself.

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.

Great Microscope
I purchased this for my Grandson and he loved it. Tells a story about each bug slide. Good learning tool as well. His father had a good time looking at the slides as well.
