It may not look like much, but the Carson Micro Max Lighted Microscope is a fun little gadget. It's small enough to fit in your pocket, but it has the power to magnify things from 60-100x! Plus, it has a built-in light, so you can see your subjects much clearer.
This would be a really fun stocking stuffer for kids. They'd have a ball running all over the house looking at everyday objects like money, their toys, or even the dog (if the animal is willing to cooperate, that is). It'd also be fun outside, checking out flowers, trees, bugs, you name it! They'll be having so much fun, they won't even realize they're learning.
