Review of Learning Resources Early Science Explorer's Set

Customer Ratings:

I really only purchased this for the magnifier, as other reviews said the tweezers were useless anyway. As one person noted,

the optics are a little fuzzy, but this is a TOY, not a tool, and the magnification is good enough that my 3 yr old grandson will simply be fascinated with the magnification effects, not only with bugs, but with everything.

This is the perfect size for my little guy. He's 20 months old and loves to play with this. We use it to find and examine bugs, and he's always quite pleased. The handle and viewspace are both large enough for him to use on his own.

My son is 15 months and LOVES this set! It is very sturdy, he has dropped the magnifying glass several times and it's still in one piece. I'm happy it's going to be around for a long time for him to play with.

Honest reviews on Learning Resources Early Science Explorer's Set

This is great for the little explorer! Both pieces are made of highly durable plastic that will hold up to rough playing in little hands. The tweezers are a little hard to squeeze completely closed for my 3 year old, but he's able to get it most of the way and has been picking up thicker objects, like his foam letters to "inspect" and move them. There is a ring on the back of the magnifying glass that will pop out so it can stand up, but he really hasn't been interested in that so we just leave it closed. The glass does magnify much more than the last one he had and he loves being able to blow up pictures, words, and faces to make them look huge! My 1 year old has even gotten in on the action and picks it up to look at things. The "glass," which is more of an acrylic, does scratch easily though. We've had it for nearly a week and it has about 5 or 6 scratches on it already. He doesn't seem to mind though and is still happy to use it to explore his world.

Bad Optics and Tweezers too large and hard to squeeze. Maybe I expected too much, but when I looked through this it was really hard to find a sweet spot where a large amount of the field was in focus. Can't imagine a kid doing it.
