Kids love those cars. We got one at a garage sale for the first grandboy, the other two played and played with it also, then my great niece and nephew and every other kid who visits our house. I still drag it out of the old garage if I know a child is coming to visit. It will pay for itself a million fold.

If you are shooting with a point and shoot, then you have to press the flower on your 4-way toggle on the back of your camera to set it for MACRO photography for shooting close-ups. See attached shots I took with my LX-5 Panasonic Lumix point and shoot camera...In the instructions, it is capable of macro shots 10mm from the subject, but if I didn't press the Macro button, these Springtails will be just a gray smudge!

Even the best photographer has to set up his camera for macro shots! If you don't, you will get close, but the camera will not focus on your subject sharply, and it isn't dumb luck! The camera is a computer, and needs to be programed.

Go to your owners manual and read up on out of focus shots, and how to take close-up macro photos, you will see what went wrong! Do your homework, and your picture adventures will improve 1,000,000%

Also, if you need bi-focals, and can't see the screen on the back clearly, then you will never be able to see if you have your camera set properly for shooting, because if you did forget to press the macro flower button, you will see that your subject will be out of focus...Without your glasses on during a shoot, you will continue taking out of focus shots!

The springtails set is really fascinating, Erv.

What fun you and Harrison will have taking photos together. There is nothing like grandkids. You have the right idea to start him out young!

Ha!! Thanks Rabbott!! I was kind of disappointed in the sharpness too.:):) But I think it will get Harrison and I started. Fun is what I am trying to do anyway. But he can drop it and throw it without Grandpa going crazy.:):) Hey for $5 it is worth a little fun time.:):)

I looked around for one and took it a part and cleaned every thing up. But it didn't help. I called the makers and they are going to get back to me.:):)
