My 8 years old daughter is observed with insects,worms, butterflies and similar creatures. This set was really good purchase for her. She loved checking everything, setting it all up and then going to find some live creatures to learn more about them. She is learning about worms and butterflies now at school so she was very excited to tell her class about this gift set I bought for her. Everything is well made, good size. Binoculars could be better quality but other then that I'm very pleased. Definitely would recommend this set for any child over 6 years maybe. It's a lot to learn about nature and this set is perfect for little adventures.
