I think it well worth it if you plan to introduce some basic science knowledge to your kids at home. </ br> Having that said, as the other reviewer also noted, my 4 years old showed little interest. It's tricky to focus and hold the sensor steadily so that you have a meaningful image on the TV screen. </ br> They know have a second generation item which comes with its own LCD display. I bought that too, immediately, but it still sat in the box after about a year. I am still waiting for my child to develop interests and curiosity in exploring unknowns. </ br> At today's sale price of $5, it definitely worth every penny. I am going to buy a few to donate to daycares in the area.
