I remember as a child, using wrapping paper (or even toilet paper) rolls as telescopes. As a child I could see the stars just fine. With high powered telescopes you need to start learning constellations, and names of stars/planets and that takes the fun out of it. The nice thing is my wrapping paper rolls can also take the place of a trumpet...just in case those disappear too! I have proposed a solution to the telescope shortage on blog.
