Microscopes are great for showing kids interesting details about everyday things, while also showing them new and exciting things that can't be seen with the naked eye. When buying the best kids microscope you have several options. You could go with a cheap microscope that has both low and high power; this will provide them with enough options to get a good learning experience. Or you could get them a microscope kit. The best microscope kit for kids will have numerous slides already made up that can show them all sorts of interesting a different things and it's a lot easier than preparing the slides yourself. Finally, you could go with a digital USB microscope. These microscopes are more or less the same price as a laboratory microscope and they're much easier to use, plus you get the bonus of exposing them to technology; something that they'll no doubt experience in school.

Another good suggestion for a science gift is a telescope. This is generally for kids who are a little older and have shown an interest in the night sky. To get the best kids telescope, go for a refractor telescope. These telescopes use mirrors to concentrate the light and can see a little better and clearer. While they do cost a little bit more, they still are a pretty cheap kids telescope and won't cost any more than $100.
