PUFFIN JR CHILDREN’S BINOCULARS, £25

Affordable starter bins for children (7-12 yr. olds), the 8x21 Puffin Jr comes in red or blue, weighs a mere 145g and is “designed for smaller hands and faces”. The blurb says wide field of view, sharp image and fold down eyecups, and the princely sum of £ 25 gets you not just a binocular but a case and wrist strap as well.

One year warranty. 10.9x7.8x3.5cm. shopping.rspb.org.uk
