This cute little telescope sells for about $50. It’s not available in the U.S. but Celestron has their own version that is almost identical called the Celestron Kids Scope ($45 plus shipping). It’s not a great telescope but it’s a fun size for a kid and it does deliver a reasonable image comparable to similar larger scopes. And the fact that you can open it up is very cool. A kid can see inside! And if some bubblegum should get stuck to the mirror it’s not a big deal because this scope is not very expensive.
I do not make any money or benefit in any way from my recommendations. I purchased the telescopes shown in the video. Nothing was given to me or loaned to me.
