During these trips the children had a chance to explore the nature with the Discovery Channel Bug Barn that was recently sent to us for review purposes. This bug barn contains a couple of tools for observation of insects. We took the magnifying glass and the canister with us to a walk in the woods.
We also received the Discovery Channel 100x Microscope that was a big hit with my eight year old Defne.
With 36 pieces, this is an excellent first microscope for older children. It comes with a few specimens for the children to explore. It also has got extra slides and materials for the children to prepare their own specimens. We prepared our own slide using a bluebell petal. Defne also wanted to explore a little piece of paper but she has discovered that thick materials don't work well with the microscope.
You can watch her showing us how she uses her microscope here.
Disclosure:We received the mentioned products for review purposes. This review however reflects our true and honest opinion.
