Learning Resources 5261 Kidnoculars Extreme-GeoSafari Jr,Blue

Product Information

Colourful, lightweight and durable, these all-in-one binoculars are perfectly sized for young explorers

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. Unlike adult binoculars, kids binoculars also have fewer bits and pieces that might cause them confusion; instead, they’re made up of one sturdy piece for total ease of use.

Customer reviews

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. Learning about the natural world – plant and animal life becomes so much more appealing when it’s ‘under the microscope’, so to speak! Enrich your little one’s knowledge and spark their desire for further learning. The Olympus 8x25 WP II binoculars are an ultra-portable model from a well-respected optics and camera manufacturer known for its high-quality, excellent-value instruments. The single-piece design also means there are no choking hazards for the little explorers among you. While younger toddlers may not yet have the fine motor skills needed to get the most out of them, they’re still a great gift for older toddlers (3-4) and up. Nikon has been producing high-end optics for over 100 years and the Prostaff P3 line is no different. We recommend the 8x42 model due to the wide field of view which makes it easier for kids to observe subjects.

We'll examine performance against the manufacturer's claims and test the accuracy of those claims to the very best of our ability, sourcing input from independent experts where needed. We will also evaluate a product on its ease of use, ergonomic success and performance relative to its competitors. Price will also be a factor with value for money affecting our overall evaluation and review rating.

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. If you're looking to invest in a top-notch pair of kids binoculars that will last them for the long haul then the Celestron Nature DX 8x32 might be just what you're after. An excellent premium choice for older kids with steadier hands these binoculars are better suited to those who are happy with a wider field of view (the amount you can see through the binos), especially if you already have a semi-seasoned bird-watcher in the family.
