4D Vision Frog Anatomy Model

My son's school sponsors a non-competitive, non-graded science fair where the kids can choose a topic that interests them and they research it. His topic was frogs. As a 4th grader, he has not yet been introduced to dissection so this was a great way to help him discover the insides of a frog. He had intended to build it for the science fair, but it was a little difficult as a puzzle to put together in the amount of time he had left himself. So, he decided to bring the parts in a box and lay them out for people to look at. It turned out to be a great icebreaker for him to start explaining what he had learned; he'd show the lungs, for example and explain that as a tadpole it started with gills. There was a good picture on the back of the box that listed the body parts, and a piece of paper that gave a brief explanation. For example, it explained that a frog's heart is different than a human heart in that it has only 3 chambers, not 4. The pieces are brightly colored and sturdy. It is a good product, particularly for what we used it for.

This is an amazing tool to teach and help nurture your child's desire to learn about nature and anatomy. Many of us are faced with those exciting questions from our kids.... why do frogs, dogs, horses, ants... do what they do. Be mindful the pieces are not in extreme detail and you should keep at the forefront of your mind to be patient when going through the parts. Parts of the anatomy do not "stick" together.... that is some of the exploration of the model. Frog is large and so are the pieces. Has been very enjoyable for all of our children. With no mess...

I’ve gotten the grandkid one of these each Christmas for a few years in a row now. They are a little complicated for a younger child to put together, but, according to the daughter-in-law/veterinarian, they are very anatomically accurate. It was a neat way for the DIL to teach her daughter about anatomy and animals as the 2 of them put it together. The frog was not as big of a hit as the cow from the previous year but still cool.

Six year old loves to “study” nature and animals, so this has provided lots of quality time learning about frogs. He’s put this together countless times and enjoys the additional information included. Some of it is tricky to fit together at first, but he figured it out. Also, some of the clear pieces will come off easily, but so far nothing has gotten lost.

My grandson who’s 5 loved it. We had no problems putting it together. He did most of it by himself. Pretty good size. Bigger than I thought. Not toooo many pieces so it’s not overwhelming for younger kids.

Got this for my boyfriend who's very interested in Biology, he loved it. Fantastic quality and awesome details. Definitely worth it!!

If you want this for a one to two time use...perfect. If you want to be able to put together and set on counter if it gets bumped etc. it falls apart. My daughter became frustrated because she couldn't close it once she put all the peices together. She had to leave one out to get it to close and then the leg and arms kept falling off. If you want to treat it like a mister potato head toy this is cool and fun.

Fantastic item, just as described. My son will be using this for a Biology class and has just recently assembled the frog. I am so glad to have found a product that can teach without bringing harm to an animal. This is an absolutely fantastic way for students to study the anatomy of a frog and I would recommend this item to those looking for something to fill that need. Many thanks AAA++++
