“Mum, come and look at this!”
A leaf, a ladybird, a strand of hair – suddenly everything looks different. Your child holds the microscope over something ordinary, and a whole new world appears on the screen.
And then comes the best part: they run to show you. You crouch down together in the garden, taking turns to look, wondering what to explore next. Curiosity you can share.
