I think it'd be a great starter microscope for a kid (sturdy, doesn't require slide preparation), especially if they like gross things. I recommend looking at: your taste buds, the sole of your foot, a pimple or ingrown hair if you have one, and up your nose.

This is the specific microscope - I believe it can be found for cheaper on Amazon. gleamkid.com/products/kid...

A similar incident, called the Great Disappointment, occurred in 1844, and it led to the creation of the Seventh Day Adventists, so this could be interesting!
