*I got this toy free to review on my blog but liked it so much I wanted to review it here too. I was not asked to review it here and receive nothing for doing so.
I was disappointed that the telescoping power was so weak. It allowed me to see things more closely that were only about 20 feet away. If I could walk that far in just a few feet....then what is the point? I was hoping to be able to use it for bird watching. Also, the magnification was sharp but the image was tiny. I could only see about a 1/2 in. of the image, the rest of the space surrounding it was blurry. I would have to position my eyes exactly before, I was able to see this small image. I think this made it very hard for my child to see the object. This would work for an older child (9-13) or an extremely patient 7 year old but for my rambunctious 5 year old boy.....it was a no go.
He does love taking it out and about on walks with him. It is a great toy to play dress-up scientist as he loves to hang it around his neck and the strap is quite sturdy.
