Is this significantly different than getting your child a magnifying glass?

I feel it is. There is a level of patience required in the set up & focus, that is not necessary when a magnifying glass is used. This also comes with sample filled slides, just as they will see someday in a classroom. Personally, I have given both to my grandson, and he uses them in different ways.

Does this come with sample slides? I see one of the answers references this, but it's not in the product description.

It does not come with slides. It does have a Petrie dish to put a sample in.
