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.

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.

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.

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

Gave this to my 9 year old daughter for xmas - she stopped opening presents so she could put it together! She loves it and takes it apart and puts it back together because she is fascinated by the anatomy of the frog. Super cool. And her little sister (age 7) got the shark. I would recommend this puzzle to any one who wants to get a kid excited about biology and anatomy.

I homeschool my two boys, and they LOVE science and anatomy. I got this thinking it would be great for them. Instead, it was frustrating. The instruction book was tiny and did not have good illustrations of how the model fit together. We experimented and tried to make a game out of it, but even I got tired and frustrated very quickly.Better instructions - heck, even just bigger instructions - would have made this more accessible.

My 5 year old nephew recently visited and couldn't get enough of playing in the brook and catching frogs. I sent this gift to him after he went home and he LOVED, LOVED LOVED.

This is such a cool model! love it!

Love it

This is super cool, but it was also pretty hard to put together.
