Look a little closer

The Build Your Own Microscope Kit is a brilliantly hands-on craft and STEM activity that lets curious kids build a real working microscope, then use it to explore the tiny wonders of the world around them. The perfect gift for a future rocket scientist or any child interested in science or constructing.

Using clever slot-together pieces, children can assemble the microscope with no glue, no mess and no fuss. Simply press out the pre-cut parts, add the lenses and mirror, then watch their creation come to life.

Once built, the fun really begins. With 30x magnification, adjustable focus dials and zoom control, little scientists can investigate leaves, feathers, bugs and more discovering details they never knew existed.

Use a smartphone light source to illuminate specimens through the built-in periscope, and choose from three trays for different treasures to examine.

A thoughtful, eco-friendly activity that blends making, learning and discovery in one joyful kit.

A little hop, skip and a jump into mini-world adventures.
