Any kid interested in science and they all are at one point this will do the truck if your not looking to spend a bunch of money on a toy that will get thrown aside after a few tries or months

Its perfect for him he loves it i dont care if it gets broken and it serves its purpose

Older children you might want a metal one

But it does what it says and its well worth the cost to me cause any curious kid that likes to look at things under a microscope and thats a lot of things id never think of it keeps them occupied and out if trouble
