Spy School Sneaky (and smart!) Spy Surveillance Kit

I liked the price of this item! I have two sons (8 and 5.5 years old) who enjoy doing science, but their focus and ability to break things make me hesitant to invest in anything serious. The actual concept of the set, as you can see in the unboxing video my sons wanted to make and share, is adorable and full of surprises and wit. My husband and I agreed that every item is smart and every inch of what you get is a part of it, right down to the box itself. Would make a great gift for all those birthday parties kids are always invited to! The binoculars were easy to assemble, in fact, 5.5 years just put the pieces together and snapped together. Once we figured out how to hold the scope (see photo) so the lenses don't fall back, and how to use them to get magnification (a future learning opportunity!), both boys wanted to keep it. no A spy kit would be complete without some cool spy glasses and this kit won't disappoint! Binoculars have been with us at the park several times, along with binoculars. The yo-yo earpiece became an instant family favorite, but we all wished the earbud-to-yo-yo chord was longer. and the device did not withstand the dinner. Hard to tell if the battery was dead or if it had something to do with an impatient preschooler, but I'm impressed with the timeliness of their response when I emailed to inquire and a new yoyo was on its way to us. lab now! We haven't gotten into the STEAM aspects yet (it's the start of the school year for the boys and I :) but the booklet offers opportunities to enrich a rainy day! I'm always looking for something that a.) allows you to play and learn with your imagination, b) doesn't contain a screen and isn't 100% plastic, and c) requires no hassle to clean up!<iframe width ="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a-_7rXWvVv0" frameborder="0" allow="Accelerometer; Autoplay; Encrypted Media; Gyroscope; Image Input -image" allowfullscreen></iframe>
