Kids love microscope

When i was young, we had this microscope set in our house. It belonged to my sis. I remember seeing her using it for her school's science projects. Mostly dissected insects and plants. She'll look down the microscope and then draw out whatever she sees. Cockroaches legs, bug heads and other icky stuffs. I can just sit down and watch her do her homework for hours on end.

Sometimes, without her knowing it, i'd take it out and play with it. I can still remember the fun i had as a kid, seeing the world at microscopic level through the lens. I'll put whatever i can find onto the slide. Hair, mosquitoes, flies, leaves and twigs, seeds, just about anything. The magnified images are just simply amazing. I can just play with it for hours on end.

Microscopes would make impressive gifts for children. Imagine the surprised look on their face when they get it. I bet they'd never expect to get something like this. Instead of playing computer games or watching tv, they'll now get to learn as they play, exploring the world of micro universe. A microscope set certainly will bring hours of enjoyment, wonder, and just plain fun.
