Tiny Adventurers STEM Microscope

The Talking Microscope has been enjoyed very much by my young children. My son hasn't yet mastered using a regular microscope so the Talking Microscope has been helpful in learning how to view slides. This voice is a nice change from the normal overly loud toys that we've purchased. The facts that she narrates are not overwhelming for young children and my son likes challenging himself with the quizzes.The built in slide holder is such a wonderful addition. I'm confident that this microscope will last a while because it is still functioning well despite being thrown multiple times by my one year old.

My almost 7 year old really can't get enough of this microscope. I read on other reviews about children struggling some to get the slide in place, but my daughter didn't have that difficulty. She absolutely loves this voice. I like that the images are realistic and that the microscope not only tells you some facts about each slide but that it quizzes you on it too! This has definitely been a huge asset to our home-school and I recommend it often to other homeschooling families. I do wish it could use an adapter instead of batteries.

The Talking Microscope is awesome! There are many reasons why I, as a parent, love this microscope. First, I love that it is educational. Not only does my four-year-old get to see all kinds of things up close, but the microscope identifies what is on each slide and tells him all about it (honeybees, mosquitoes, cat fleas, tadpoles, human tooth, etc.) so that he knows what he is looking at. He even enjoys the quiz feature. I do, too, because I can tell he really is learning and retaining the information presented. He then likes to quiz me on what he’s learned! The microscope also talks in four languages so we can add language arts to our science learning. The second reason I love this microscope is because it is so easy to use. When it arrived, I showed my four-year-old how to use it, and in minutes, he was able to use it independently. He can take it out himself anytime he wants to look at slides. A brilliant aspect to this microscope is that the slides are stored with the microscope. The slides are all contained in a drawer that fits into the base of the microscope so we always know where the slides are. The third reason I love this microscope is because my son enjoys it so much. He thinks it cool to see all of the things up close. I haven’t found a downside to this product other than I hope that it comes out with more slides because we will soon have these memorized!
