Why it works
Putting an ant or a ladybird in the jar, looking at it through the lens and letting it go is a complete plan for a four-year-old. The two lenses in the lid magnify four times, enough to count legs. It comes with a plastic spider for practising at home before going out to the park.
Our verdict
A spot-on small gift for birthdays at nursery school and in the early years of primary school. From eight they want something more serious, such as the Bresser binoculars.
They will like it if
- they stop to look at every snail
- you go to the countryside, the allotment or the park
- you need a small gift that is not throwaway plastic
Bear in mind
- you have to explain that the bugs are let go soon
- in winter and in a city it gets little use
What's in the box
- 2 lenses with 4x magnification
- Includes a plastic spider
- Recommended age: 3 and up
- Can be used alone
