Totally Cool!
This is totally cool! I love the slides that come with it and that they store so nicely in the drawer! I like that the images are realistic and not cartoons/drawings like I've seen elsewhere. This toy would be best with older kids or for younger kids if they have an adult helping them because it can be a little tricky for a child to put the slides into the right place. All in all, a really good quality product for young scientists!

Fun and factual!
This talking microscope is loads of fun! My daughter (age 6) is having so much fun learning about things like human skin, millipedes, and feathers! This product requires 3 AAA batteries (not included) to operate. Once the batteries are inserted, the user can insert a slide onto the stage for easy viewing. The user can listen to facts about each image on the slide and then answer questions using the buttons on the microscope. The voice of Bindi Irwin is a fun bonus! Love this!

GeoSafari Fun!
This is a fun product! My four year old is totally engaged. She did need help getting the slides in a first, but now she can do it independently. Each slide has 3 related pictures, and with a push of the button, Bindi will give a fact about each picture. There is also a button where she will give a quiz. I would like to take this to school, and make it into a science center. Little kids will be engaged with looking at the pictures, and telling you things they remember. Older kids can do the quizzes.

Entertaining, educational and SO CUTE!
This is such a great toy to teach kids about science and nature. I love the double view finders, which are perfect for toddlers. It's also easy for little hands to hold. The microscope tells you facts about what you are looking at, and the facts are all fun and interesting for kids. I even learned a few things as an adult!

Interesting facts
The talking microscope has slides that can be placed on a platform and the voice of Bindi (the crocodile hunters' daughter) tells you interesting facts about the picture you are looking at. My 5 year old has a hard time placing the slide in the correct spot, but the older children can easily do it. There are three images per slide, but on the same category (ex. human hair, flies...) The facts are very interesting. Children can also play a trivia type game and try to answer questions about the topic. My 5 year old liked this toy a lot, but unfortunately it did not keep his attention as long as my 8 and 10 year old. Overall, I would definitely recommend this toy!

My 6 year old scientist loves it!
My daughter is loving this new toy. The facts are perfect for her age and her interest in science. My 3 year old son is enjoying it too, but it really holds the 6 year old's attention. I like that the slides are easy to use and durable. I also like that they fit nicely into the drawer and it snaps closed so everything stays together. I will definitely be recommending this toy to my friends!

My Kids LOVE this microscope
My five your old daughter has officially spent four hours strait with this microscope. She has gone through the slides several times and is now quizzing my husband. This toy gets an A+ from me.
