Learning Resources Cross Section Human Heart Model2 reviews
Learning Resources
Learning Resources
Nice big model
+ Cool representation of the heart muscle/structure
It is about the right size for a heart. I think it will be durable for my 7 yr old to play with, it is made of foam (like the stress toys.). The heart parts and the names are screen printed on the insides. It's 2 pieces, it is nice that there are not a hundred pieces to have to pick up.

Thames & Kosmos Physics Workshop1 review
Thames & Kosmos
Thames & Kosmos, 2008
Getting tired of Legos? Try this.
My son is always tinkering, building contraptions, etc. We could tell that the Legos were getting "old" for him, so we bought this. He really likes it, and is always building stuff like cranes, windmills, etc. Everything in the set is sturdy, with quality similar to Lego, but with more gears and ...

Erector T.Rex - 4.5V Drill / Motor 1 review
Nikko America
Nikko America, 2007
Very Complicated to Put together
This took hours to put all together and my 10-year old son who is smarter then an average 10 year old could do it but not on his own and not without some frustration. He played with it the day he put it together but not again since then. It wasn't as big of a hit as I had hoped.

yikes!
+ AntHill - Where was this when I was a kid, dangit?
+ Great product!
Having live stinging ants in my home is definitely outside my comfort zone. That being said, this was a great product for my kids. All of them, 2 to teen loved watching the ants dig and tunnel. Even my squeamish self enjoyed watching the tunnels develop. Ants are truly amazing workers. Among the ...

I work with gifted children in a one -on -one situation. Some days its very difficult to keep their attention because they are generally 5 steps ahead of me. I have been using What If with a gifted 5th grader and its pace is just fast enough to keep her engaged. When we consider dropping a rock ...

Scientific Explorer's Disgusting Science - A Kit for Studying the Science of Revolting Things16 reviews
Scientific Explorer
Scientific Explorer, 2007
disgusting!!
+ Educational and Gross!!
+ Fun for all
We swiped some toes (after running around sockless in rubber boots), toilet water, teeth, the kitchen sink, and left one open to the air for 1/2 an hour. The winner was the toes! Truly gross. It takes about 10 days to get some good cultures going, but we kept a chart and it was VERY educational. ...

Fun for the whole family
+ My nephew LOVES this toy!!
+ Good for the 'bug hunter' in your family.
I bought this for my niece on her 7th birthday. She is absolutely the "outdoorsy type". She loved using the bug vacuum and then putting in the scope. The whole family got involved looking for bugs.

Fun volcano kit for the whole family!
+ Great fun
I bought this kit for my mom and I (my mom is 60, I'm 37) and we spent 2 winter evenings building volcanoes. The kit comes in a surprisingly small box, that's because the volcano mold is made of 4 panels that snap together. The kit includes the 4 volcano panels, a volcano chimney, a small bag of ...
