Recommended for kids ages six and up, the EyeClops creates hours of endless play and exploration that's fun for the entire family. Ordinary to Extraordinary
Much more fun than a microscope, the EyeClops transforms any television into an interactive TV toy. With the EyeClops, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Magnified to 200 times the normal size and viewed on any TV screen, minuscule salt crystals morph into blocks of ice; hair and carpet turn into giant noodles; and small insects become fearsome creatures. The Bionic Eye has three built-in LED lights so kids can illuminate any object, including their own skin. Interactive and Easy to Use
Kids love using the TV along with this educational device to share a new activity with their friends. Parents too can join in the fun and will love how their children learn and play. So you don't have to touch everything you look at, the toy comes with an observation dish and tube, perfect for viewing liquids, salt, and bugs. The battery-powered device is simple to use, plugging directly into the A/V jacks found on any current TV model. The brightly colored, hard plastic device is child-safe and stands up to hours of scientific exploration. The EyeClops requires five AA batteries.

 Learning without knowing it October 11, 2007

I bought this for my five year old and she was absolutely captivated. Started out bored and after 2 minutes was running around the house looking for things to view. The quality of the image is very good and there are some nice attachments that make it easier to view different types of things. Really a great toy that ignites scientific curiosity in kids without them knowing it.

I purchased the EyeClops for my six year old son's birthday.
When first powered up, the quality of the EyeClops -- how easy it is to use, and how good the image is -- are surprizing. To have such high magnification and such a clear color image in a *toy* is impressive. Maybe the sharp image is what motivates my three year old son to pay attention when big brother is using it. The internal light source means no fuss with aligning a mirror, sunlight, or some bogus "light kit" like with usual microscopes.
The other doodads in the box -- the focusing card, the containers, and the stand -- are neat goodies that make the EyeClops a cool system.
We look at the fine details of other toys, photographs, and printed matter, including dollar bills. We look at wood and cloth, too.
One note: our rechargable NiMH batteries do not provide enough voltage to make the Eyeclops provide a color image. With freshly-charged NiMH batteries, the Eyeclops provides a very good black and white image, but that is far less satisfying than color.
After having the EyeClops for a few months, my son has started asking me about atoms and electrons. So I think this "toy" has had a lasting educational effect on him.
Cool Educational Toy for the Whole Family October 21, 2007

One cord to plug it into the TV, and it's ready to go...couldn't be easier to set up and use!
Amazing detail with all things fibrous -- cloth, hair, fur, paper. Unexpected details in things like plastic, laminates, metals. Easy even for little ones to use, though they need to understand they can't lick, scratch, or otherwise mar the lens.
Comes with a petri dish accessory, and a little plastic tube that can be screwed into the eye for close-up examination of liquids, bugs, and who-knows-what-we'll-think-of-next?!
Ease of use and the effect of seeing things magnified on your TV set is exactly what makes this toy straddle that line between great toy and educational tool.
Wow!
More fun for kid or parents? November 20, 2007

We bought this for our 7 year old's birthday. I'm not sure who has used it more, him or us! It's a blast to find thing around the house to look at. It does take a little finesse to master the angle to get the right focus, but once you do, it's endless fun. For kids under 7, I'd suggest a parent's help, because they could get easily frustrated. I can see this coming in very handy for things such as splinter removal or tick identification in the spring. Of course, I've already tried to analyze my moles for skin cancer.
Excellent toy for entire family. November 13, 2007

My 8 year old son got this for his birthday. Someone in our family has used it every day. When anyone comes to the house we plug it in and start a show. We love this toy. It is very easy to set up and the kids are having fun with it.
