The Amazing Squishy Brain

It may be quite the horrible sight staring at you from a shelf, but the Amazing Squishy Brain is practically guaranteed to spark your child's interest in human anatomy!

The (educational) fun begins when your aspiring scientist gets his hands on its anatomically correct pieces, removing them from the transparent cutaway skull one by one. Handling each piece is not only entertaining, it's also an ideal way for your child to study the structure of the brain's parts and how they fit and work together. And yes, the brain's various bits -- and of course, the eyes -- feel satisfyingly squishy enough to keep your child engrossed in learning about them.

The 32-page 'Actual Factual Human Brain' book guides your young neurologist through a study of the brain's role in her senses, movement, memory, emotion, and decision-making. How the brain controls her autonomic functions, like breathing and digestion, is also covered. Activities like a quiz keep the brainy fun rolling along.

Kit contains:

• 8 squishy brain parts
• 2 squishy eyeballs
• 9-piece brain model with base
• 4 vertebrae pieces with spinal cord
• forceps
• scalpel
• tweezers

One more thing: the movable mandible is sure to inspire plenty of laughs as your scientific comedian makes it 'talk' (trust us, it's irresistible). After all, science and entertainment make perfect teaching companions!

Ages 8 and up.
