"We received the GeoSafari Kidnoculars over the summer holidays and wow, what fun we’ve had with them so far! The Kidnoculars come with a string to go around the child’s neck so they can carry them without worrying about losing them. My daughter loves going to the window and looking out for birds and, well, anything else she can find that moves.

We took our Kidnoculars to the zoo with us, and it was so lovely to see Alexa get excited about the fact she can use these to see the different animals that were hiding in the distance. A fun game to play with these is to print off pictures of different wildlife that you might see, and get your child to see if they can spot them while you’re out and about.

The only downside that we did find with the Kidnoculars is that sometimes the string that goes around the neck can knock off Alexa’s implants if she took them off in a hurry. There’s a clasp on the string to undo it but she didn’t want to wait!

I definitely recommend these for all the little explorers out there!"
