Each Christmas, I work very hard to put something valuable under the tree for my children. I don't mean by getting them the most expensive toy on the market. I mean by searching for educational toys. Things that will be of value to them, and not just clog up our playroom floor!
If you are looking for these same kind of gifts, I have the perfect website for you! It is called HOME SCIENCE TOOLS, and you will find some amazing science kits on there! The items on the site are sure to keep your children entertained indefinitely... and they probably won't even realize how much they are learning in the process!
Home Science Tools was SO generous to send us this wonderful microscope to review! It is called the "Home Microscope," and it retails for $174.95!I must say, after trying this amazing microscope, it is priced very well!
The detail you will see with this microscope is amazing. The magnification level is truly impressive, and the microscope is very easy to use. The head on the microscope spins a full 360 degrees! And the light is wonderful- not too bright, but not too dim!
I did my research, and on many other sites, microscopes with this amount of functions sold for $300+! If you are a homeschool teacher, or just a parent who wants to make a hands-on difference in your child's learning, you MUST check out this website.
On the Home Science Tools website, they said:
"The Home Microscope is an excellent value! With it, you'll get the same features and quality as other good classroom microscopes, but at a very affordable price. It has the magnification levels needed to see intricate cell details and the optical quality to see them clearly, giving your students the most benefit from their microscope labs in high school biology. This microscope is easy for all ages to use. It has standard magnification levels of 40, 100, and 400x and features a 360° rotating head, precision fine and coarse focusing, and cool and bright fluorescent lighting. Home Science Tools model, lifetime warranty. You save $55!
Other wonderful products Home Science Tools features on their website are:
Dissection tool kits, dissection guides and preserved specimens...
Amazing telescopes, like the gorgeous Sky-Watcher GoTo 130mm Reflector Telescope...
... and engineering exploration kits such as the Hydrodynamic Deluxe Building Set...
and SO much more!!!

Aside form the microscope I would also love a Sky-Watcher GoTo 130mm Reflector Telescope. I guess I am just fascinated by magnification. Whether it is right in front of our face or thousands of miles away we miss so much of God's wonderful creation when we look at the world with just the naked eye.
