Give Kids a Leg-Up on STEM Education with This Handheld Microscope

Science is amazing, but many kids would prefer social media over hitting the books. And that’s too bad because careers in STEM — science, technology, engineering, and math — are growing at stellar rates. Careers in STEM also pay nearly twice as much as non-STEM jobs.  Instill a love of learning and give kids a leg-up on STEM education when you give them a mini handheld microscope. When you open up the microscopic world to kids, you can turn their screen time into science time.

 

Mindless Screen Time Offers Quiet Time for Children and Parents

 

There’s a lot of talk about kids’ screen time these days, with many children spending 5-7 hours staring at screens. Their favorite activities are playing video games, scrolling social media, and watching videos. But these pastimes do little to improve their education and prepare them for the future. In fact, studies show that excess screen time can lead to a host of issues, including obesity, anxiety, and sleep disturbances.

Experts understand that prying digital devices from children can be difficult. There’s an endless supply of games and videos online, and stress-out parents can find a few minutes of quiet when children are distracted on their devices. That’s why experts suggest providing healthy alternatives to mindless screen time that can keep children entertained. Playing outside tops the list of recommended activities for children.

 

Trade Their Tablet for a Mini Pocket Microscope

 

If your kids are reluctant to give up their screen, entice them with a kids' mini pocket microscope. A mini portable microscope is a bit like a magnifying glass, only turbo-charged for the digital age. With a lens capable of high magnification and, of course, a screen, children can use a mini portable microscope to explore their world.

With a mini handheld microscope in hand, kids can set out to explore the outdoors. Leaves, insects, and even puddle water are fodder for kids’ curiosity. Kids can even take a deep look at their skin cells and hair follicles. The possibilities for discovery and wonder are limitless. Your kids will think they “won” the argument over screen time, and they’ll be none the wiser that their new mini portable microscope is preparing them for a bright future.

 

Benefits of STEM Educational Toys for Kids

 

Science, technology, engineering, and math are more than pathways to a lucrative career. Learning STEM skills benefits the whole person. Children with a robust STEM education have better critical thinking and creativity skills. STEM also increases confidence and independence.

You can help your children develop an interest in STEM fields by providing educational STEM toys. Despite an epidemic of screen addiction, studies show that children prefer educational toys and will intuitively use the toys in ways that maximize their educational benefits. In fact, playing is kids’ preferred mode of learning.

By providing educational toys, like a mini pocket microscope, you’re helping children develop an interest in STEM fields. As they learn to use their new “toy” and make discoveries, they’ll become more confident in their own abilities. Exploring and making new discoveries help them to move past their comfort zone.

For example, a tentative child may be reluctant to touch an insect. However, the promise of seeing something new and exciting with a mini handheld microscope can inspire them to push past their fears. This seemingly small success propels them to take bigger risks in the future
