A Working Toy Telescope from the Future

This telescope is only a toy, but it works like those used by real astronomers and it comes with ten pictures from outer space with accompanying commentary. Yes, it's 3 in 1! It's the perfect educational toy that every astronomer, professional or amateur, would want his kid to have for Christmas!

The design of this Space Explorer telescope is straight from the future. By the looks of it alone, you'd wonder if laser lights would come out of it. But it's completely safe, fun, fine for display, and educational. A perfect partner for those nights out stargazing with your kid. Click on the image to purchase the 3 in 1 Space Explorer toy telescope!

Kids' Microscope Inspired by Star Wars "Eye" Droid

Remember the opening scene in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, where C3PO and R2D2 are trying to gain access into a fortress and are accosted by an "eye" droid? You can see that's where the designers of this EyeClops plug-into-tv-microscope got their ideas.

Like the "eye" droid in the movie, this functional microscope toy lets you see things in detail without the hassles of setting up any slides under a stage. It's simple to use - just plug it to your tv set, switch it on and point. It will open up a microscopic world of wonders in familiar objects that reveal their real looks up close. Is that your skin, or is it your leather wallet? Subjects are magnified up to 200 times! You can order the EyeClops microscope here.
