Hi Susan,

There are several binoculars that will focus at less than 10 feet.
An excellent although expensive one is the Leica 10x32.   The Orion
Savannah 8x42 and Celestron Regal 8x42 (virtually the same) will
focus in less than 7 feet.   The Savannah 10x42 and Celestron Regal
10x42 will focus in less than 10 feet.

Good luck,
Rich
