The astronomical telescope encourages children to use their observation skills, developing their knowledge and vocabulary around astronomy as they describe what they can see. Our testers enjoyed using it at night time, both indoors and out in the garden and they also used it in the daytime to see what they could see in the trees, especially enjoying looking at birds.
This is a great, active way for developing children’s scientific vocabulary and reasoning as they engage in discussion about what they can see through the telescope. One of our testers was even inspired to look up constellations of the stars so she could further identify what she was looking at! When using the telescope indoors, we found it was easier to look through when it was on a table rather than the floor.
