This is actually good because it serves as a warning sign of going off-track ;-). Lasting learning outcomes come out of using locally available materials for experiments - like fashioning a magnifier by filling a discarded tungsten lamp with clear water or making one out of clean sheet of plastic etc.
How about taking a couple of lenses or jeweller's eyepieces and then using digicam or cameraphone (with macro feature)? The combo is harder to get working but such hard fun should be part of learning.
