Educational Insights GeoSafari Jr. Kidnoculars and Animal Eye Viewers ~ Review & Giveaway {2 Winners}




**The products for this review were provided by Educational Insights. All opinions are my own.

If you've been reading here for a while, you know what a big fan I am of Educational Insights! Their playful products offer both educational value and fun! No matter if you're a teacher or parent looking for educational toys, this is your one stop shop for everything you could need!

There are many different products available...everything from pretend play toys to games. With such a great selection, I am always keeping an eye out for things my kids would enjoy. That's why I was thrilled to learn we were going to have the opportunity to work with them on another review.

The GeoSafari Jr. Kidnoculars were a hit right from the start! In fact, I'm beginning to think we need three...one for each of my kids! 

Features/Benefits: 

  • Perfect fit
  • enlarged eye pieces
  • focus-free binoculars
  • 2x magnification
  • kid-proof rubberized drop points
  • easy carry breakaway neck strap

These binoculars are designed specifically for little kids! They're colorful and best of all, fantastic quality. I don't have to worry about the kids dropping them and them breaking...I can tell they're made to withstand a lot of wear and tear which I appreciate. 

All three of the kids love to use them to look at nature outside and pretend play indoors. The enlarged focus-free eyepieces are perfect and three times the size of ordinary binoculars. Kaden especially loves to see things so big and Caysen walks around with them saying "I Spy..." as he looks for things. 

I've noticed that these fit the kids' really well as well. There's a placement guide which enables even the youngest of children to see up close! It's exciting for kids of all ages. Whether they're being used to see something specific, or pretend play...my kids use them daily. I'd definitely recommend them for kids pre-K+! 

With as much fun as the kids had with the Kidnoculars, I knew they would LOVE the Animal Eye Viewers!

What I love about these eye viewers, as that they are unique and take creative play to a whole new level! My kids love to play dress up and pretend they're animals, so I knew these would be a big hit!

The set comes with 3 viewers. They can see like an insect with pixelated views, like a chameleon with two independently rotating eyeballs and like a shark with blind spots and rear view mirrors! 

They love that they can look through the different viewers and see like that specific animal sees. They're able to get a whole different view of the world. It's neat to hear them say, "wow, is this how this animal really sees?!". They're learning AND having fun which I LOVE!

It's been a lot of fun using these Animal Eye Viewers and all of us have learned a lot about how different animals/insects see the world around them. It helped my kids use their imaginations even more which is great! 

This is another product from Educational Insights that I would highly recommend for children Pre-K+! 

Buy It: The Animal Eye Viewers can be purchased from Amazon.com for $27.99 and the Kidnoculars are available at Toysrus.com for $14.99.

Win It: There will be TWO lucky winners...one will receive the Animal Eye Viewers AND one will receive the Kidnoculars!
