If you have been a follower of our blog for a while you know we love Educational Insights award-winning learning toys and hands-on educational materials.
Recently, the Lil Divas and I had the opportunity to review the
What's in the Box:
We received the 2-in-1 microscope with base and removable scope. It's features include: 400x magnification 2x continuous zoom reflective LED lighting storage drawer we also received 3 Slides (2 blank & 1 sample of cotton fiber) Note: The Tuff Scope does require 3AA batteries which are not included. |
The Tuff Scope can be set up as a exploration station -
perfect for home and/or school use.
The Lil Divas definitely enjoyed looking at the cotton fiber slide that came with the scope and we had fun exploring a piece of my hair -
they couldn't believe how "weird" it looked magnified! :)
You can even remove the microscope from the base and explore on the go
- but you need a sunny day to really see through the scope this way!
We set out on a cloudy day (FL rainy season) and couldn't see much.
We are looking forward to trying this again on a nice sunny day.
Overall, the Lil Divas really enjoyed their experience with the Geo Safari Tuff Scope. The Littlest Diva especially kept searching for things to study all over the house.
I would love to find other slides or things to explore with the scope -
this is definitely a tool we will make use of to help incorporate some fun science into our lessons at home.
I am so excited that the kind people at Educational Insights will be giving the Geo Safari Tuff Scope to one lucky Mom to 2 Posh Lil Divas follower!
I just know you will love it and get creative doing some fun hands-on science explorations with it!
