Kidnoculars Extreme Junior Binoculars

A fun and unusual pair of binoculars for curious little adventurers who love exploring the outdoors with both their eyes and ears.

Learning Resources calls them Kidnoculars®. 

• With a built-in microphone and audio amplification, children can hear nature’s sounds up close, making outdoor discoveries even more fun.
• Scientific exploration made child-friendly
• Focus-free vision
• 3x magnification
• That means objects appear three times closer. A tree that's 6 metres away will look as though it’s only 2 metres away.
• A lower magnification makes it easier for children to get a clear, steady view through the binoculars. The stronger the magnification, the more important it becomes to hold the binoculars completely still and point them in exactly the right direction.
• Lets your child experience how binoculars make things feel closer.
• Breakaway safety strap
• Colourful, lightweight, and durable.

Have you ever wondered why binoculars have two numbers? For example, 3x30 means that the binoculars have 30 mm lenses and 3 times magnification. In practice, 3x magnification means that a bird which is 3 metres away from you will appear through the binoculars as if it's only 1 metre away. The larger the lens (the higher the mm), the more light can enter the binoculars and the darker your surroundings can be while using them.

The higher the magnification of a pair of binoculars, the more important it is to be able to hold the binoculars steady and point them in exactly the right direction. Therefore, a low magnification makes it easier for young children to get a sharp image through the binoculars. Generally, when it comes to binoculars it's a good idea to align your expectations with your budget. If you want high-magnification binoculars, you'll need at least 15-30x magnification. But binoculars of that size are heavy and need a tripod to keep a sharp and steady image.
