I realize that we are just coming in summer, but Christmas is already on my mind. Actually, I just love to buy gifts and early Christmas shopping is the BEST excuse! This was originally intended as a gift for my teen nephew, however, after receiving it I feel that it is better suited for someone younger. I will pack it away in the Christmas present hiding spot for my 5yo. she loves to look at the moon and stars. The size and ease of use will be better fitted for her. It is well constructed and definitely fit for beginners and young children.
