It's a small screen they hold up to a leaf, a coin, a beetle's wing - and suddenly want to show you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo phone. No app. No setting up.

This one doesn't. A four-year-old can switch it on, point it at something and get a picture on screen without help — so it tends to come out again the next day, and the day after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThings worth looking at\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA leaf, underside first\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSalt, sugar and sand — all completely different up close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFabric, where a jumper turns into rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA coin, a feather, a fingerprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil from the garden\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhatever they pick up on a walk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest about what it is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not laboratory equipment and we won't pretend otherwise. It's a sturdy, simple magnifier with a screen, made for curious hands rather than science labs.
