WIN! Build Your Own Microscope Kit

the prize

Kids will love getting outside to explore nature with our eco-friendly Build Your Own Microscope Kit. Easy to assemble using slot together techniques – no glue, no mess, no fuss.

Awesome for examining garden minibeasts, leaves, feathers and more – you’ll be amazed at what you can see with the 30x magnification.

Have fun experimenting with the light source on a smart phone to illuminate your object through the built-in periscope. There’s also a choice of three trays for you to use to hold different types of specimens on the microscope table.

Want to roam free? Remove the microscope lens tube and place it in the detachable, handheld adaptor for on-the-go exploring.

Made using sustainable cardboards and minimal plastics, the Build Your Own Microscope Kit is not only fun and engaging to use, but also environmentally responsible.

To enter simply follow the instructions below.

The competition closes on Tuesday 1 July 2025 at midnight. The winner will be announced on our competition winners page. Good luck everyone!
