The Magic Adventures Microscope Toy for Kids Supports Foundational Skills

— April 11, 2022 — Life-Stages
The Magic Adventures Microscope from LeapFrog is designed to help kids discover the world around them in a new way and see everything from flowers and insects to the human body like never before. With a generously sized LCD screen and smart slides, kids can explore hundreds of custom BBC videos and images, and even create their own samples with reusable slides. The real microscope for kids ages five and up provides 50x-200x magnification, as well as quiz games that challenge kids to feed, defend and heal microorganisms.

Andy Keimach, President, VTech Electronics North America, LeapFrog's parent company, says, "We love taking traditional educational tools, like a microscope or map, and adapting them for preschoolers so they can get excited about school skills such as science and geography."
