Product Description

GeoSafari Jr. My First Microscope allows preschoolers to see magnified hidden worlds with ease! This fully functional microscope is the perfect introduction to a real science tool and STEM learning. My First Microscope has a range of magnification (2.5x–8x) designed for toddlers and preschoolers. Magnified views can be challenging for little ones to understand, so by starting with the 2.5x view (with the focusing knob turned as far away from your child as it will go), your preschooler can orient herself to the item she’s viewing, and as she turns the focusing knob towards herself, she can gradually pull away to an 8x view. The wide field of view of these lower magnifications is critical to little ones’ understanding. My First Microscope also features two extra-large eyepieces (no need to close one eye!) and a chunky, kid-sized focusing knob. A bright LED with easy push-button action lights up details for even more discoveries. Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).Comes with Talking Microscope unit and 12 prepared interactive slides, with storage box

    Super cute but not durable!
    I was a little worried because of the reviews that it was going to arrive broken. Luckily it came in great shape! My kids (5&7) love it and won’t stop fighting over it. I’ll have to order another. Although I would like to order the pink for my daughter I don’t know why it would be more expensive than this one. It does seem a little on the cheap side so if you have a rough child I don’t think it will last long. My 2 year old got a hold of it and I was on edge knowing if she were to drop it that it would break. Overall a good product for the price!

    1.0 out of 5 stars Broken... twice
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2023
    DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!

    I purchased this microscope for a friends son and was very excited to give it. When I received the package it rattled around a little but I thought nothing of it since sometimes there are multiple parts in things like this for the parenta to put together. When the child opened the package, the microscope was in fact broken beyond repair as the interior support where the view finder connects to the body had snapped off. I immediately returned the package and ordered another to be shipped to their house. The second one also arrived broken, in the exact same way as the first (see picture). Needless to say, I did not order it a 3rd time.

    The packaging of this item is not appropriate for the weak points of the plastic and needs to be fixed by the manufacturer. This could be done very simply by adding a piece of cardboard or styrofoam under the part that broke off. If you do insist on purchasing this microscope, I suggest getting it at a retail location where you can inspect the item before you pay for it.
