Interactive and informative toy for all!
5 Stars
Interactive and informative toy for all!
I like that this interactive toy has a headphone jack so if you grow weary of listening to it, your child(ren) can have that pleasure alone! The turning of the dial may be difficult for children under 6 until they get acclimated to it (you have to turn it between each clue or question). They may also get frustrated if the slide isn't fully in place so that they are able to type in the 3 digit code to identify the slide. This feature can help smaller children with letter recognition and sequencing, as they must input the the letters in correct order. I love the quality of information that is shared about each animal, space item or location. Kiddos have the option to learn and then subsequently be quizzed on their knowledge. The images on the slides are high quality photographs. Overall, my son (8 yr old) thoroughly enjoyed this toy and I intend to try it out with other children. This is something that children can entertain themselves with, our families can use to play together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really great science related gift!
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2018
This talking telescope is so cool. There aren't many pieces so its very easy. You take it out of the box, put in the batteries and your ready to go. The slides are already organized inside. The telescope is magnetic and so it makes it very easy for the child to take it out and put it back. It is so cleanly designed. I also really like that it teaches the child how to put the slides in, punch in the code, listen to facts and quizes them. It makes learning so fun. Its really great for parent/ child interacting moments. We had so much fun together. Highly recommended.
