Educational Insights GeoSafari Jr. Kidnoculars

Kidnoculars are toy binoculars built for the smallest explorers: a low 2x magnification, no focus to set, extra large eyepieces and a strap that lets go if it snags. They are the top seller in Amazon's Nature Exploration Toys category and carry the Amazon's Choice badge.

The idea is simple. Hand a preschooler a pair of adult binoculars and they see a blur. Hand them these and they see the heron on the far bank right away, which is what keeps them looking.

The Numbers That Matter

2x, focus free. Low magnification sounds like a weakness, but it is the reason these work for little kids. There is nothing to adjust, so the view is usable the second they hold them up.

Extra large eyepieces. Small kids struggle to line both eyes up with tiny lenses. Bigger eyepieces make that part easy.

Breakaway neck strap. Anything worn around a toddler's neck should release under tension. This one is designed to.

Who It Is For

The dad with a 3 to 5 year old who wants a screen-free reason to get the kids looking at birds, boats and bugs. Pair it with the National Geographic Bug Catcher Kit for backyard safaris, and give the kid a seat of their own at camp with the Coleman Kids Quad Chair. When they start wandering farther, the Retevis RT628 Kids Walkie Talkies keep dad one button away.
