Description
This bright red magnifying glass brings the tiny details of the natural world up close, showing them at three times their size. It belongs to the Wonders of Nature range, with a clear round lens set in a smooth red frame and a long, straight handle that is easy to hold. Made from acrylic and plastic, it measures 13.5cm long, 6.5cm wide and 1.5cm deep, and weighs only 0.022KG, so it sits lightly in the hand and slips easily into a coat pocket.
A magnifying glass like this is made for curious moments: the veins of a leaf, the rings on a tree stump, the petals of a flower or the fine detail on a coin. It is a toy, and a simple one, meant for play and looking closely rather than for precise work. Take it along on a walk in the park or a wander round the garden, or keep it at the kitchen table on a rainy afternoon for studying stamps, shells and fabric. It suits anyone who likes to stop and look at the little things most of us walk straight past.
The clear lens is held in a slim red rim that runs straight into the handle, so there is one simple shape to grip. It arrives on an illustrated backing card printed with flowers, a bee, a dragonfly and ladybirds under the words "Be inspired by the natural world", so it is ready to give without extra wrapping. To keep the view clear, wipe the lens gently with a soft dry cloth and store it away from anything that might scratch it. Pop it in a rucksack with a notebook and pencil for nature walks, or wrap it as a cheerful little gift for a curious mind.
