4D Vision Frog Anatomy Model

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 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...

This model was a good alternative to dissection for my 12 year old girl (homeschool zoology). Looks good, anatomically correct, sturdy, reasonably well built. Takes some dexterity to put together, but wasn't a problem for her. Materials that came with it were good, including basics of major organs, plus a great labeled diagram of a frog skeleton. The "Uncover a Frog" book was a good companion to the model.

Esta figura 4D de una rana es una herramienta educativa fascinante para niños en edad escolar. El diseño detallado permite desmontar y explorar las distintas partes del cuerpo del animal, lo que hace que el aprendizaje de la anatomía sea mucho más interactivo y visual. Es ideal para usar en clases de ciencias naturales o como complemento en el hogar para reforzar el conocimiento. Las piezas están bien fabricadas, son resistentes y encajan con precisión. Además, viene con una guía clara que ayuda a identificar cada parte interna del cuerpo. Un recurso excelente para despertar la curiosidad científica desde temprano, fomentar el pensamiento crítico y hacer que los niños se entusiasmen por el mundo de la biología. ¡Totalmente recomendado para padres y maestros!

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.

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.

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.
