CarsonHU-530 Hawk Kid's 30mm Binoculars, Green

I was nervous about this purchase. So many microscopes for children are flimsy and fiddly, offering impractical magnifications that attract but are virtually unusable. Far better to be in the 10-50x range than the 200-500x.This product is excellent for the scale of thing that a young child might want to look at. The optics are good, the LED light works well, the whole thing feels robust and it could be carried easily on a country walk.Supervision is needed, especially in the use of slides and cover slips, though they are plastic.I bought it as a Christmas present for my youngest granddaughter. The picture shows me setting a slide up for her. (Water from the saucer of a plant pot. She did other, dry, objects herself.Session 1: leaves and onion layers - cells seen and described.Session 2: the dirty water as mentioned. Even though in winter and after a lot of rain, we managed to see some swimming single-cell organisms - probably Euglena. Her observations of these were spot on.Great product - not a toy microscope - a genuine introduction to another world.

The X scope is a great toy for interested inquisitive little hands and minds. The very fact they have managed to cram seven functions into one toy is quite an achievement . All the functions are very good and work well and some perform above expendations.1. The whistle , what I loved about this is you can hear it but it's not going to get you looking for a hammer to terminate the annoying noise. It's loud enough for my grandson to warn me that the zombie hoards are approaching , but not to loud ar shrill tha the neighbors will complain.2. The microscope , I was very impressed by its simplicity and its function. Just adjust the light and take a look as we did at a dead wood louse and it looked like an armoured dinosaur from a science fiction film ,you could see clearly every detail even the tiny hairs on the legs . My little grandson was absolutely amazed , he spent hours looking for things to inspect around the garden.3. The torch is a small bulb led light. It's not going to light up a room but great for a little boy to go in his blanket den.4. The pirate telescope as my grandson called it has a good magnification ,again it's not gong to replace your lika binoculars to go twitching. But for a five year old boy it's powerful enough to look for pirates on the high seas or look for granddads jack Russell down the garden.5. The clock is a great little aid to help a boy or girl learn the time.6. I have now got a better sense of where everything is placed in my house and garden. My little explorer loves the compass he checks the direction of everything and is making a treasure map using his compass.7. Last but not least a magnifying glass which makes checking things quickly before putting them under the microscope.It's a great educational , fun , toy. Like all toys of this nature it's not a toy you can give to a child and let him get on with it as he would proberly but it down after a few minutes. However if you take time to explain and demonstrate what it can do , your child like my grandson will get hours of fun from this inexpensive educational toy. Well worth every penny hours of fun and exploration for very little outlay.

Obviously this is not made for very large bugs, but it’s excellent at capturing and releasing smaller critters for anyone who recognises the sanctity of insect life.My only gripe is that the extending orange “floor” actually is a little too high to force bugs to step onto it; this means the way you have to use it is to box the bug, and either wait patiently for it to crawl onto the clear walls, or gently touch it with the edges a couple times until it runs up a wall, after which you can extend the platform and rest assured knowing the bug shouldn’t get out anytime soon.

Bought this for my nine-year-old son primarily for the microscope. It works really well and gives enough magnification to see astonishing details in everything from carpets to bugs. It's a lot better than a more conventional microscope, which we've found hard to use and easy to break.The other features range from useful to unnecessary. The telescope functions pretty well, although we haven't used it outdoors yet. The magnifying glass and whistle are handy; the torch is OK, but the compass and clock feel a bit superfluous.

This is a very easy to use insect catcher and it is very humane. Well made and good value for money

It’s been a couple of months since I bought this and I have to say I’m really impressed with it. It’s great at catching all kinds of spiders indoors and kids love to use this. Most importantly I don’t feel bad now that I can release these bugs into the garden without burning the house down.

Has done the job.

This catcher is good, a little flimsy so if capturing a spider you just hope it can't squeeze through small gaps as this doesn't shut completely flush. But overall it's a great system for capturing and looking at bugs and helps me get any naughty spiders around the place.

Fue un regalo, es excelente para ver objetos a detalle y muy fácil de llevar a todas partes.

Minha afilhada gostou muito

My kids have gotten a kick out of using this to catch and look at bugs outside, and I also like the idea of me using it to get spiders out of my house. Luckily I haven’t found a spider in my house for a while so technically I haven’t tested that theory—but this is what I will be using the next time I do! It’s kind of hard to pick up really tiny bugs, but the bottom panel is thin enough that it can trap most regular sized bugs. Easy enough for my 3 year old to use.

I bought these for my 3 boys (9, 6, and 5) and they love them! They are simple to use and strong enough to see details of little things. They have held up well so far.

Meu filho adorou. É uma excelente opção de presente e um aliado pra tirar a criança das telas. Apesar de o binóculo ter um alcance baixo é suficiente para entreter. A luz da lanterna é branca e forte, útil até em uma emergência. Achei que a bolsa que acompanha era maior, mas ainda assim se organizar direitinho cabe tudo. Recomendo.
