Suitable for children aged 8 yrs. to 11 yrs.

When you want to give your curious little one a microscope, remember that price and quality often go together. So it's a good idea to reflect on what you and your child want to examine with the microscope.

It’s fun to observe a dead spider or a fly way up close, and you can definitely do that with a simple microscope model. But if you would like to study a drop of blood, we recommend that you choose a microscope for children with over 400x magnification. The price is on the higher end, but your child will learn and understand so much more.

You’ll find our full range of microscopes here.

This activity develops important skills which help support your child's well-being and ability to learn new things:

  • Great for curious children.
  • Encourages your child to observe with great interest.
