Why it works
Real binoculars change a walk in the countryside: suddenly you have to stop and look at every bird. Bresser makes telescopes and microscopes, and this children's model has 6x magnification, enough to see a long way without the image shaking in small hands. They are compact and fit in a rucksack pocket.
Our verdict
For the curious seven or eight-year-old who gets out into the countryside. If small bugs are what draw them, start with the HABA magnifying jar, which costs a quarter of the price.
They will like it if
- they like animals and outings
- they ask what bird that is
- you go camping or to the village
Bear in mind
- 6x magnification is not enough to see the Moon in detail
- they need to be taught how to focus and never to look at the sun
What's in the box
- 6x magnification
- 21 mm lenses
- Roof prism
- Compact format
