Kids love hands on experience, it is true that they might drop an eyepiece or bump the telescope but after showing them what to do and just sitting back and watching them learn I must say I get some enjoyment out of it.
I sometimes ask them to draw me a picture of what they have seen and it's amazing what there eyes pick up that I missed. When there cousins come over it's a fight to see who will hop up onto the telescope first to draw a picture.
