Learning Resources 5261 Kidnoculars Extreme-GeoSafari Jr,Blue

Product Information

In conclusion, just like a new pair of school shoes, this is a binocular that slightly older children can grow into, rather than grow out of. So any additional spend over toy-like alternatives may well be worth it in the longer term. Development of observational skills – boost your child’s perception of the world around them and encourage the growth of their analytical ability. While smaller, compact binoculars are typically much more affordable that doesn't mean they're unsuitable for all the family as there are some great models that can be used effectively by everyone.

Magnification is adjusted via a centrally located zoom lever, just in front of the eyepieces, so we literally don’t need to take our eyes off the ball. The device is relatively compact too and manageably lightweight, with multi-coated lenses and prisms maximizing light transmission and boosting clarity of vision. The only downside is that these zoom binoculars cost a bit more than a basic 8x21 pair, but being able to follow play from afar and get close in on the detail of any wildlife or sporting activity could well be worth it for budding sports professionals or nature lovers of the future.

Customer reviews

Some binoculars are kid-friendly, but as Educational Insights implies with its branding, the GeoSafari Jr. Kidnoculars Extreme was actually made for kids with Science Technology Engineering and Math learning in mind. We've rounded up, and tested, the very best binoculars for junior observers whether they're a little younger, or in their teens. But there are some inherent features that children's binos share, including smaller magnifications and narrower objective lenses due to their modest proportions. That means they're not especially suited to low light observing where larger openings let in more light to the eye. BrightMinds is one of the UK’s leading retailers of educational toys for children.

The Nikon Prostaff P3 8x42 binoculars have some premium features for their price point and while they're at the slightly more expensive end for kids binoculars they offer fantastic value if you're sharing them amongst the family. These are the educational benefits you can expect to see in your little one from a pair of binoculars: This example is very affordably priced too, making it an ideal gift. Despite the so-so magnification, the objective lens size is a bright and eye-popping at 50mm. While there are no moving parts, adult supervision is always recommended at this age. We’re also applying bonus points for coming up with the term ‘kidnoculars’. Waterproof and encased in a rubberized armor these are also suitable for eyeglasses wearers thanks to the 17.5mm of eye relief which is more than enough to use whilst keeping spectacles on. Simple layout and operation are ideal features for children's binoculars too, so young observers don't become frustrated. To use them in all weathers they should have rubber grips and rubberized protection around the lenses, and are preferably waterproof or even fogproof.These compact binos will fit comfortably in the palm of an adult hand in its entirety while weighing no more than a small plastic water bottle a child might have in their lunchbox. We were impressed with the image quality here too, which was better than we expected given the diminutive size. That’s no doubt down to the manufacturer choosing class-leading BaK-4 porro prisms in the construction as well as featuring fully multi-coated lenses to improve light transmission. Your children will finally be able to see things from afar without any fuss or confusion with Geosafari Jr.'s amazing Kidnoculars! Finally, a pair of binoculars that are specifically designed for kids! Age aside, just as when choosing binoculars for ourselves as adults, we’ll need to ask if there are particular pursuits we are buying these kids’ binoculars for. Stargazing, sports, bird and wildlife watching are engaging subjects whatever our age, and there are models that better fulfill these requirements than others. Or are we simply looking for an inexpensive everyday pair for free-time fun, that won’t break little hearts, or our wallets, if they inadvertently get trashed? The bright colours and functional nature of our GeoSafari Jr products encourage children to get outside and explore the world around them.
