Educational InsightsGeoSafari Jr. Talking Microscope Featuring Bindi Irwin: Microscope for Kids, STEM & Science Toy, Interactive Learning, Ages 3+

A toy that isn’t a favorite but two years in still gets played with now-and-again. Been roughly handled by two preschool aged kids and still working! The slides aren’t real, just pictures, which surprised me but hasn’t made any difference to my kids who have never seen a real slide.

I bought this for my 6 y/o granddaughter. She loved it and could hardly put it down. Would be a great educational toy for 1st grade. Definitely exceeded my expectations.

Grandchildren loved to use this. Very sturdy.

Got it for Christmas for my neice...She is still interested!

This product is amazing love the educational information it provides and BINDI IRWIN NARRATES IT... I'm 40 years old and have a blast with this even if my daughter isn't messing with it lol.. I bought another one for her preschool classroom

First all the kids wanted to check this out - the 6, 4 and 2 yr old. It was a gift for the 4 yr old. It keeps her attention and gives great bite sized info and facts about each thing. Each slide has 3 versions/stages of the theme or item - ie: dandelion, butterfly, housefly, blood cells. Bindi gives info and facts about each of the three images across the slide as the slide is moved to each image. The slides have sets of teeth in them to go into the slot on the scope. If it's not quote seated all the way you might end up with Bindi telling you about a different creature - ie: we learned this when the snowflake slide started talking about the black widow spider. Not a flaw, just user error - so some kids may have trouble at first getting the slides seated and then they have to be lifted out and the teeth put in for the next image in the slide. Sounds more complex the way I'm explaining - the 4 yr old caught on just fine.Kiddo now peppers me with facts about spiders and red blood cells. Over all it is higher quality than I expected and I'm QUITE pleased with it and would definitely buy it again for another kiddo and definitely recommend.

Perfect blend of education and fun. We purchased one and saw the joy of our children. And now is a go-to gift idea. Lots to learn and do with this one item. The buttons are easy to use (large). The cards are easy to use (slide in and out). Lightweight. Batteries do last in this toy. We couldn't be happier with this product.

When our grandson opened this gift, he said, “Gram, we have one of these at school” looking very disappointed. When his dad showed him the talking aspect of the microscope and how he could view the multiple slides, we lost Eli for the rest of the day. This is the perfect size for a five-year old. The weight was just right and the product was built to last. Eli wanted to know more about each of the slides. We were put to the test at that time. I’m so glad I saw this educational and fun gift.
