Giveaway: Microscope from Imagine Childhood (2 Winners!)

August 5, 2011 //  by Jamie C. Martin

This giveaway has ended and the winners will be announced soon!

Welcome to Back to School week here at Simple Homeschool! This week I’m bringing you reviews and awesome chances to win–perfect for back to school planning time.

For this week’s final post, Imagine Childhood is giving away a microscope to two lucky winners!

Imagine Childhood is a unique online store filled with eco-friendly, high-quality, creative items that children love. I’ve known about it for a couple of years now, and it has become one of my favorite spots to browse for my kids’ birthday presents.

My six-year-old son absolutely adores their lifelike plush animal collection. (We gave him the great horned owl for his last birthday!) And I recently bought this adorable birdfeeder, which hangs outside our dining room and has provided both entertainment and nature study opportunities.

Imagine Childhood is a lovely place to browse for homeschool supplies because nearly everything in their store is both educational and fun. Older kids would enjoy their selection of outdoor nature kits and little ones would love the variety of building blocks. They also carry art supplies and imaginative books as well.

The staff at Imagine Childhood believe interacting with nature and their own imagination allow kids to simply and powerfully discover and learn about the world. They also write a popular blog sharing books, crafts, nature walks, and recipes.

Find out more about Imagine Childhood and how you can win.

For this giveaway, Sarah from Imagine Childhood sent me one of the microscopes they carry in the optics and navigation section of the store. The microscope is made by the Italian optical and sport company Konus. It arrived with the accessories in its own carrying case, which most kids will likely enjoy just as much as the microscope!

The microscope comes with over 80 accessories. You can even create your own slides using the enclosed microtome, a tool that slices food items into slivers so you can examine them. Magnifications go from 100 up to 1200.

It comes complete with a viewer, wall projector, and a projector on paper (for drawing). You can illuminate the microscope using either a mirror or a battery powered light. The body of the microscope is extremely durable, making it a good choice as a first microscope for younger children in your homeschool.

Two Simple Homeschool readers will receive a microscope from Imagine Childhood!

How to win

Everyone has two chances to win. Here’s how:

1. Comment on this post, answering this question: What type of scientific discovery is currently most interesting to your children? (If you are reading this in an email, you must click over to enter your comment!)

2. ‘Like’ Imagine Childhood on Facebook. Then — this is important — you need to come back and leave an additional comment here, telling me you have done so.

Imagine Childhood is also offering all Simple Homeschool readers 10% off any items in their store between now and August 8th. Get an extra 5% off after liking their page on Facebook, for a total of 15% off! Just use the code ‘simplehomeschool’ at checkout.

This giveaway has ended and the winners will be announced soon!

    Great microscope! My children like to look at all kinds of stuff under the microscope, but as we are studying the colonial period in history, they are interested in medical practices during that time, specifically the use of cultures to innoculate against diseases (i.e. smallpox). Many revolutionary soldiers died of Smallpox at Valley Forge.

    This will be the first year of homeschooling for our girls – 4 1/2 & 7 1/2.

    Right now they are overcoming their fear of bugs by developing a fascination for them. This morning, it was a moth that they found. They were so excited while they were telling me about it and held about 2 inches from my face while I was weeding. I can say that I am gradually overcoming my fear as well, by trying not to be grossed out and attempting to share in their fascination 🙂

They’re obsessed with military aircraft and how modifications have evolved and the resulting changes to flight and performance. I’m working on introducing more nature studies to our homeschooling, though it’s slow going as they’re all about technology. 😉 (Yes, they’re geeks like their father…they certainly didn’t get it from me, lol!)

There are many in our yard and our cats catch them and we have rescued the snakes that we can, but have spent hours watching our cats interact with snakes and lizards.

    Hi

    I “LIKE”d IMAGINE CHILDHOOD on Facebook!

    I am unschooling my 6 year old son in India.
    To him, science is part of his everyday life! He ponders over many things like:
    1. why does “smoke” come from the refrigerator, every time I open it?!
    2. why does the wind blow?
    3. what happens to the scab – where does it go? – that forms when I get hurt…

    Besides this, we look for worms in some fruits and vegetables, and then put them in the bug box to look at them closely……
    watch earthworms in the garden pot……
    go looking for spiderwebs and spiders…..
    and many many more wonderful discoveries……

    Our kids have been finding bugs that haven’t been surviving our Southern heat and humidity, especially ones with wings. They bring them inside on a plate and have been examining them with a magnifying glass. We’ve had to warn visitors not to eat off of or wash the random plates from the counter, to not disturb “the flying ones”. Fun times!

    As she has spent much of her life in and out of the hospital she is also very fascinated with blood, and all things inside the body. This would be helpful in showing her blood the way that the doctors look at hers 😀

Lately, he has expounded and explored inventing rocket fuel (out of our recycling), making a backyard pool, gliders, leaf collecting, interest in dentristy, interest in the innerworkings of the human body. He has said to me “Mom, I have so much to learn if I am going to be ready for whatever God has me do when I grow up. Lets start learning”

    Last year my daughter started Kindergarten. We were using a curriculum that shall remain nameless, but about halfway through the year she came up and whispered to me, “I hate that stupid Science!” Needless to say, we started paying more attention to her natural interests and she is now much more of a science lover! She is currently very interested in creepy-crawlies: bugs, spiders, worms…reading about them, drawing them, telling us all about them. My son is going into 3rd grade and he is very interested in germs and space.

    My children are younger, so our most interesting science discovery this summer has been Cicadas. Not only do we enjoy the noises they make, but we found a dead one and placed it in our critter cage! We were able to study their body parts and the kids LOVE to share their finding with everyone who will listen. It’s so cute to watch them explain the anatomy! Of course our critter cage has collected many other bugs (all dead!) for studying and learning. I can’t tell you how excited I am to learn about Imagination toys. This is right up my alley! We were just talking about getting a microscope to study bugs that are microscopic – like chiggers. Oh do those bites itch!

Can only imagine how awesome it’d be to really examine things with a microscope.

    My kids are all about bugs lately. We have recently been invaded by fire ants so they are helping me find a natural killer/deterrent… so far equal is not working (bah!).

    According to my 9 yr. old son, “Anything outside, bugs, sticks, leaves, and especially dirt. ” He’s facinated by the creativity of our Creator! Can’t wait to get started with our “Science in the Yard” this fall!!

    My girls are currently interested in how plants grow and composting- this year we’re growing our first garden!

    Right now we are being vistited by cicadas and they leave their shells everywhere. My son is so fascinated with them and collects them and put them in a jar. He spends tons of time examining them and pointing out the different parts of the body. He loves to run out and try to find more shells.

    My daughter is really interested in plants and gardening and we have been experimenting with sprouting avocado pits on our windowsills! What fun it would be to own our very own microscope!

    My 3 yr old daughter is interested in everything! … but if I have to choose… bumblebees, trees, and the process of planting a seed and then harvesting the fruit/vegetable months later. She’d love to explore another world with a microscope!

    Hmmm favourite science for my three year old is fruits and vegetables and asking lots of questions about where they grow. I like to fill her in on nutritional facts too!

    I’m pretty sure this isn’t exactly scientific, but my daughter would like to know how fairies do their work! What great products!

    My son and I are about to embark on a journey through biology, beginning with the kingdoms of living things and ending with the human body. He has always loved to study insects, reptiles and animals, so I can only hope he will enjoy delving deeper. The ability to see the bits and pieces living things magnified will be a truly eye-opening experience for him!

    Probably something that involves a magnifying and glass, the sun and the power to start fire/ eliminate ants. 🙂
