« Gonna Be Good »

I have not used these yet. I have been quite busy. However, I could already tell when I got these, that they were going to be fun. There are LITERALLY a ton of objects contained in these slides. They are all very small, but they are packaged very well, so you shouldn't have to worry about losing any. I am very impressed by this product!

« It is what it seems to be »

This is a great idea. I got it for my 8-year-old grand-daughter, hoping it would spark her interest. I expected to get her a microscope if she expressed interest, but she never did. So I would give it 5 stars, my grand-daughter would express indifference.

« cool specimen slides »

Awesome specimens for kids. I love them too! Got them for my 8 year old son. Takes me back to my childhood when I had a microscope.

« Arrived promptly and the child was satisfied »

I ordered this for a seven-year old boy who already owns a toy microscope and wants more slides "so that he can be a better scientist." He seemed entirely satisfied.
I am hesitant to review in detail because I haven't viewed the slides personally.
I don't believe that the quality of his microscope is very good (was purchased by someone else for less than $20) so it speaks well to the slides if he is able to use them at all!
The slides arrived promptly in the busy holiday season. They were clearly marked and organized, and after a long evening of searching seemed like a very good choice.

« Great beginning slide set »

Great beginning slide set. I bought it for my middle schooler. The storage case for the slides is just the box they come in but there are slits to hold the slides so they aren't stacked on top of each other. They are clearly labeled. We have had fun looking at them with my son's new microscope. Nice buy for the $$.
