Not even enough magnification to enterTAIN AA 4 YEAR OLD

Under the strongest magnification things are just a tiny bit larger but you don't really see anything you can't see with your naked

Not great magnification, but noticeable and suitable for their state of development

Extremely weak magnification

Not a super strong magnification, so they can still understand what they are looking at

You can barely notice a magnification if any...waste of money.

The magnification isn't spectacular enough to

The magnification isn't that significant, but the kids didn't seem to notice.

The magnification is marginal and the lens are not very clear.

I think it should have a 10x lens to boost the magnification

Magnification is not too bad, especially for things they love to have a closer look at grass blades, coins, stamps, stickers, lego mini figures, worms, you name it

I hesitated buying this because some reviewers said the kids were deterred because the magnification wasn't great

but I wish the manufacturer would have made it more obvious (maybe a picture on the box) what the magnification would actually look like, for the benefit of us the laymen parents out there with no background in optics

Inadequate magnification.

My 6 year old enjoyed trying it out, but a more sophisticated microscope with more powerful magnification would be better for that age group

However, the magnification is not good

Magnification isn't enough to make it impressive enough.

As a biologist, I must say that the magnification isn't great, there isn't much travel in the focus adjustment, and the lenses tend to get scratched up a bit but my 2, 3, and 4-year-old nieces LOVE exploring nature with

but instead it was a big disappointment as the magnification is so insignificant that the kids lost interest in this toy immediately

The magnification is fine for this age and the "chunkiness" is perfect for their little hands

There is hardly any greater magnification with this

I bought this for my daughter, but am very disappointed, the light does not work and the magnification isn't enough to interest her.

I wish the magnification was stronger.

The magnification isn't is good as a real

The magnification of the objects under the microscope are no better than a magnifying glass.

The magnification on it isn't great, but your toddler will get the idea

Magnification is very disappointing

At only 8x, the magnification isn't super but it works to get kids interested in science.

But the magnification is almost nonexistent.

But the magnification is not enough at all

It doesn't have a real strong magnification but its okay for a young child because it is easy to operate.

Overall a nice product, built for a preschool age kid, I do wish it had better magnification.

My 5 y/o was not impressed
