I only wish there were more slides
Fantastic product. I would definitely purchase more slides if they were available. My grandsons (ages 3 and 5) had a blast looking at the slides and answering the questions. I loved that their curious little heads were being filled with knowledge.

Annoying and doesn't stop talking
Easy to use. Young 4 year old needs help getting slides in. Loud and super annoying, even on the lowest v. Wish it had a way you could turn off the endless talking and just enjoy looking at the slides. But to have the light on the voice is on. It is super reparative and if you don't engage with it buy selecting things it keeps repeating itself until you push something,

Super adorable and educational
My niece got this for her 5th birthday. It's super adorable! I'm also a huge fan of Bindi Irwin.

Please, please make more slides!
This is an awesome gift- especially because you can change the lanugage! But please, please, please make expansion sets of slides! My 4yo no longer plays with it because it's just 20 slides and he exhausted all the facts after a few weeks. I would gladly pay more for 25 or 50 more slides in an expansion pack.

Lack of slide expansions….
Our son loved it until he went through the slide about 30 times.

Needs Improvements
This product is almost there. I was thinking both of my kids (7 and 3) would be interested in this, and they were, but that didn't last long. The quizzes and slides provided are decent, but once the kids run through them, they lose interest. Also, the slides come with three images of different magnitudes of an organism. I get that this is a cheaper way to zoom in and le...

Not a microscope
I bought this for my son thinking it was a microscope, since it's called a "microscope" bur it is not. It looks like a microscope but it isn't. The slides are just pictures of animals and other things in nature. Not real slides or anything that would actually go in a microscope. Can't zoom in, focus, or make our own slides. I'm really disappointed in this "microscope". ...

I'm pleased with the purchase as it is very educational.
we thought it was great, finally something out there that is fun for the kids, educational, and as soon as they learn all the slides frontwards and backwards they find out no other slides are being made! from reading a lot of reviews, almost all added their displeasure about not having other slides available. looks like all people buying this product would gladly purcha...

So I have bought this for my son for Christmas this year, while he hasn't used it I tested it myself as the shop I ordered from has a 28 day return policy. I know he's going to love it, so much so I know he will fly through all the slides quickly. I decided to anticipate this and go on the company's site and order extra slides. I am so disappointed that there isn't any....

Excellent product
My son loves this product and it came heavily recommended . I came on the website though to see if I could purchase more slides and I can't seem to find any. It seems like a waste not to sell extra slide sets. Very good quality product and I love how educational it is.

Great product but....
My 4year old granddaughter was bought this and had great fun with it so far. She did struggle with getting the Slides the correct way round, I've since added some sticky dots to the Slides so it's easy to know which is the front of the slides. I guess something like this could be incorporated into the Slide moulding?
I'm sure more slides will be useful in the future.

I wouldn't buy this product again.
Really disappointed I'm not able to buy more slides. There were several duplicate slides in the set that I got.

Pretty Cool but....
This product is pretty cool. Lots of info on each slide. Cool pictures. The only thing. That does give it a "5" is 1) the storage drawer doesn't close (could be that mine was an anomaly) and 2) it can be obnoxiously loud unless you turn down the volume. Other than that, it's a good product.
