EyeClops Activity Kit

I ordered this item together with the two EyeClops magnifiers. I wasn't sure what to expect, but at $32 (more expensive than either of the actual Eyeclops') I assumed it would be something fairly worthwhile - the Eyeclops magnifiers are a lot of fun...This "kit" consists of a few sheets of paper with printed drawings and maps. The kids lost interest within minutes. Had it been priced at about $4.95, it would not have been a disapointment...at $32, IT IS ABSURD! In fact, I assumed that I had received the wrong product, and wrote the seller an unkind note, accusing them of "bait and switch"... Now, having taken the time to read the item's description, I realize that I was wrong, and that the "activity kit" is just woefully over-priced...a rip-off of another kind. I must say again, though, that the other Eyeclops products are a good value...these maps and posters, however, should be included "free with Eyeclops purchase".

This kit is really great, but completely overpriced for what is contained in the kit. It is simply a few sheets of paper. Very expensive paper!

I have two boys, ages 10 and 7. My 10 year old was able to follow the treasure hunt clues on the treasure "map" but the hunt was anti-climactic. My 7 year old wasn't able to find the clues on his own and became frustrated. This would be a great gift for an 8 or 9 year old who has patience with detail.

I would rate the eye-clops itself much higher. Everyone in our family has enjoyed looking at things with the eye-clops!

If you are going to purchase the eye clops, this accesory kit is a must-have. At first I thought there was nothing to see on the map and it was no good..til I found my first hidden phrase. It is a good value for the money and a great addition to the purchase of the eye clops. They should sell this with the eye clops because it is really pretty cool to explore the maps and find hidden stuff on them!
