Telescopes for kids bring them closer to the stars and launch them into galaxy exploration. Observe objects in the night sky and learn a new hobby: astronomy.
There are four common types of telescopes for kids—or anyone who is new to stargazing. Reflector, Refractor, Dobsonian, and Hybrid. Find the first three here, with models from Orion and Levenhuk, plus less expensive options for children. Making a DIY version is a fun optical activity that demonstrates how a telescope works.
Binoculars (Celestron & Simmons) also offer rewarding amateur sky watching opportunities. Use them to bring craters of the Moon, and more, into focus
Shop space-themed gifts and kits like the Remote-Control Machines: Space kit. R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey and Real Science-4-Kids both have great curriculum to consider for earth and space science studies.
