Editor's Review
Explore space right at home with the GeoSafari Jr. Talking Space Explorer. This talking toy telescope features the voice of Rocket Scientist Emily Calandrelli, the star of the Netflix show Emily’s Wonder Lab. Through the play, kids can view more than 130 images and videos, and learn more than 200 facts.
You will need three AA batteries, which are not included. Once you assemble the telescope’s legs, turn it on in one of two volume levels. Then kids can play in Fact mode or Quiz mode, using the number and arrow buttons to select answers and move to the next subject, fact, or quiz question. As kids play, they’ll be looking through the telescope at its LCD screen. A home page image shows six subjects: planets, cosmic events, constellations, solar system, stars, and galaxies. Kids use the buttons to select which subject they’d like to learn more about or quiz themselves on.

This is a fun way to encourage science learning at home. The Talking Space Explorer allows kids to see what they’re learning about through vivid imagery and video. And if kids are fans of Emily’s Wonder Lab, they’ll enjoy hearing Emily’s voice throughout the play. But your kid doesn’t have to be a fan of the show to like playing with this science toy. This toy telescope is perfect for any kid with an interest in space science.
