I had a toy microscope as a kid.
It was a scientific wonder that came with glass slides and petri dishes.
I remember looking at large-scale images of my hair and dead fly legs.
With the dishes you could look at twirling daphnia and ikky pond life, especially if a torch was shone on the tilting mirror.
I blame toys like this, along with Survival on Anglia TV and Jaques Cousteau for a life-long love of the natural world.
Did you have a toy microscope as a nipper readers?
