We started using The Private Eye: “5X” Looking / Thinking by Analogy book and The Private Eye Jeweler’s Loupe over a year ago with a group of three children. What amazing results!

This program is absolutely one of the best we’ve found. It offers a way for children of all ages to practice creative, critical thinking skills, as well as artistic and language art skills. And… it’s fun to do!

By looking through the loupe, children are transported to new worlds and new ways of looking at everyday things. Have you ever looked at the back of your hand? I mean, really looked at the back of your hand? The lines and creases appear to be roads for microscopic creatures, or topographic maps to new lands.

When examining objects up close – really up close – you see things you’ve never seen before! This unique view elicits analogies that expand thinking into uncharted realms of creativity.

The kids that tested this product now carry a loupe with them in their pockets. Stopping in a grocery store to examine the frost on the freezer case, or loupe-looking at a pine cone and imagining a spelunking adventure into unknown caves…. only their imaginations will limit their experiences when they follow The Private Eye book with loupe-looking adventures!

Expand your horizons… take a journey into the microscopic world that exists among us. Have fun as you learn new ways of looking at our world – and expand your creative thinking!

We highly recommend this product to everyone – all ages – any profession!
