Ever seen a kid playing with a new toy? Their excitement, sense of wonder and curiosity can be infectious — be it playing with a ball, doll, game, or a microscope!

When a good friend gave us their son’s microscope, we wondered if it might be too much for a six year old. We were so wrong! When she saw an onion peel under the microscope, she was blown away by how different it looked under the microscope. The next thing we knew, she was scrambling around the entire house looking for different things to inspect under the microscope. We tried various items ranging from edible stuff (sugar, onion peel, crushed ginger, spinach leaf), liquids (water, hand soap, green juice), to paper and clothes (cotton, synthetic from a doll’s dress, wool from a sweater). She (and we) had a blast! You can watch her excitement in the video above.
