Super fun and educational

My [...] triplets LOVE this microscope. Not only do they enjoy playing with it, they've learned a ton from the interactive quizzes built into it. A great buy for your budding scientists.

Great, educational toy...but...
»
it would be better if you could purchase additional slides. My son is a science nut, but even he has tired of looking at the same group of slides over & over. You can put other slides under and look at them but you don't get the great info you do with the set that the microscope came with. It is a wonderful toy for a budding scientist or entymologist, though!

Greatly disappointed
»
I purchased this toy for my son and when we first opened it up, he was very excited after looking at the slides on the microscope. However he was highly anticipating learning facts about the bugs on the slides and when I put the batteries in for him, that feature did not work. We entered the codes just as the directions stated and it never not once told us a fact about any of the 12 slides included. I am very upset, my son is upset and I regret buying this product. I will write to the company and ask for a replacement or that I get a full refund.

We LOVE this toy. Works wonderfully. I wish it came with a box for the slides. I also wish I knew where I could buy additional slides.

Don't count on the 'talking'

The A-C buttons, used to input the type of bug being identified, didn't work on arrival. This seems to be a common problem. My girl still loved it, although she would have liked a ladybug slide.
