Zoomy Handheld Digital Microscope
This seriously cool handheld microscope lets curious children explore objects up close with up to 50x magnification.
Simply hold Zoomy over whatever you’d like to explore, and the magnified image appears on the screen. Zoomy connects easily to both Mac and PC via USB.
Twist the top and press the little camera button (just like clicking a pen) to capture clear photos or even record videos with Zoomy.
Compact and easy for little hands to hold, Zoomy can capture both photos and video, which can easily be shared via USB on a computer or projector for the whole class to see. Focusing is simple, and Zoomy works at different distances with no tricky setup involved. Just move it closer to or farther from your object to find the perfect distance.
Zoomy makes it easy and exciting to explore the hidden details in things like a little pile of soil, an orange peel, or even the mysterious fluff hiding in your pocket—and share your discoveries with everyone around you. You can also share photos and videos with others via a link.
If your child loves science, Zoomy might just become their new favourite exploration buddy, bringing a whole new microscopic world to life in a fun and wonderfully easy way, with photos and videos you can revisit again and again.
Zoomy requires a quick software installation before you get started. The setup is simple, and instructions are included in the box.
You can also download the software online for Windows or MAC.
Available in green or blue.
Children will need a little help from an adult to learn how the microscope works. Focusing can be a bit tricky at first, so microscopes and telescopes are often best explored together as a shared learning experience.
What makes this product special
Toys for learning through play
Play is essential for children’s learning, well-being, and development. Through play, children learn about themselves and the world around them.
Play helps children:
• stay curious
• focus and become absorbed in what they're doing
• take on age-appropriate challenges
• build confidence
We believe children learn best by doing things for themselves:
• by making mistakes
• by getting messy
• by falling down and getting back up again
Resilience, confidence, and courage grow through experience, one small step at a time.
That's why we carefully choose toys that encourage independence, imagination, movement, and social skills — offering just the right balance of support, freedom, and opportunities to grow.
Carefully selected toys
We carefully handpick every toy from the vast world of toys available today. The only toys that make it into our range are ones we'd be happy to give our own children.
Every toy at ToyAcademy should:
• support learning through play
• be made from durable, high-quality materials
• be safe and enjoyable for children to play with

Suitable for ages 5 yrs. to 7 yrs.If you want to get your little knowledge-seeker a microscope, remember that price and quality tend to go hand in hand. So reflect on what you're hoping to look at under the microscope.
For example, if you would like to observe the contents of a drop of blood, our advice is that you get a microscope for children that has more than 400x magnification. It’s a higher price bracket than simpler microscopes, but your child will learn and understand so much more when they can focus the microscope and learn about science on their own. But it’s also fun and educational to look at a fly or a dead spider up close, and you can definitely do that with a simple microscope.

- A wonderful gift idea for your curious child.
- A great way to train and develop observation skills.
