Description
This two-lens insect viewer from the Wonders of Nature range brings the small life of the garden up close. It is a clear plastic pot with a red lid, standing 7.5cm tall and 7cm across, so it sits comfortably in the hand. The lid holds one magnifying lens, and a second lens on a hinge folds down over it or flips up out of the way, giving two different magnifications. Around the pot, the Wonders of Nature name and the words Insect Viewer are written in a friendly hand-lettered style. Each viewer comes with a toy ladybird, so there is something to study from the first minute.
Take it into the garden, the park or along a woodland path, pop a beetle, a leaf or a petal inside, close the lid and look down through the top. A quick look and a closer study are just a flick of the hinged lens apart. Indoors, it earns a place on a nature table or a windowsill, ready for the seeds, feathers and shells that come home from a walk. It is a toy made for play and curiosity, and it suits anyone who likes to stop and look closely at the outdoors. We always suggest letting any visiting insect go back where it was found once it has been admired.
The viewer is made of plastic throughout, with a clear body and a printed grid on the base to look against. The red lid has a ribbed edge that is easy to grip, and the hinged lens sits neatly on top when closed. To keep the lenses bright, wipe the pot and lid with a damp cloth and dry them with a soft cloth, and store the viewer with the lid on. As a small gift, it is a cheerful way to send someone out into the garden with fresh eyes.
