Best pick: Celestron AstroMaster 70AZ. It’s a practical beginner telescope for kids because it is simple to aim, works for the Moon and bright planets, and avoids the tricky collimation that can frustrate first-time users.

What could change this answer

Availability and exact bundles change, so check the current package includes a usable mount/tripod, at least one eyepiece, and a finder.
For young kids, plan on adult help for setup and aiming.
