Thames & Kosmos Ooze Labs: Visible Human Body with Squishable Organs

Our youngest grandson asked for this item for his birthday. He really enjoys learning! At his party, EVERY adult took the time to look at it too. This is a great learning tool for any child interested in science, medicine, etc.

My daughter saw this on youtube and had to have it. She loves it. Educational and fun. She did lose some of the pieces though so i might have to buy it again.

Random purchase we made for our 2 boys 4 & 7. The scissors broke almost immediately but they are not really necessary. Glad there is a book that shows you how to put it all back together. Not too many parts so it's good even for the younger one to put back together

The Thames & Kosmos Ooze Labs Visible Human Body with Squishable Organs is a great idea for a learning toy, especially for the price. I snagged it on sale for $14, which makes the quality a bit more understandable. Here's the breakdown:Pros:Engaging and Educational: My son has definitely been having a blast taking apart the model and learning about the different organs. It's a great introduction to human anatomy.Budget-Friendly: At the sale price, it's a steal!Lots of Pieces: It comes with a good variety of squishy organs, keeping playtime interesting.Cons:Flimsy Construction: The plastic feels a bit cheap, and unfortunately, the stand broke while my son was putting it together.Small Parts: Be aware that some of the organs are on the smaller side, so it might not be ideal for younger children who tend to put things in their mouths.Tricky Assembly: Some of the pieces don't fit together perfectly, which can be frustrating for little ones.Overall:Honestly, for $14, it was worth it. My son has gotten a good amount of playtime and learning out of it, despite the quality issues. If you're looking for a super durable, high-quality anatomy model, this might not be it. But if you're on a budget and want to spark your child's curiosity about the human body, it's a decent option!

I purchased this skeleton kit for my 6 year old and he absolutely loved it. Very educational and entertaining.

This item is very hard to put together even for an adult, let alone a child. The organs are fun to squish and they aren't horribly difficult to assemble, but whenit comes to the bones, they are awful. They have these tiny nodules that are supposed to fit in holes along the back of the clear plastic body, but it is very difficult to get them lined up and then they don't fit in the holes securely so one little bump and everything falls back out again. My grandson was so excited to get this, but all it has done all afternoon is frustrate him, grandpa, and myself. Terrible item.

All said in the headline. Good idea, extremely poorly executed.1) Impossible to peg the parts into the tiny holes for them to stabilize;2) not even for adults.3) very easy to break, especially when you have to try so hard to connect them (often in vein anyway).It has good reviews, so maybe I just got a bad one, although I doubt that. So be cautious when you buy.

I bought this for my 4-year-old who is very interested in science and all things squishy for Christmas this year, so we haven't opened it, but it still looks super cool. I can say that it came kind of disheveled inside the box, the organs and bones were not in place and had fallen down inside the clear body, so that is something to keep in mind if gifting.
