I bought these to try and introduce my 5 year old to the science department. He was enamored by the range of slides. The container consisted of a range of slides, all which were durable enough to withstand a 5 year old.

Good for school and good for play

Excellently prepared slides. nice detail if you have a strong enough microscope ( we have the amscope ) and it works really well. Great for school and for fun

Nice collection, easy to store and fun.

Nice collection of slides, here is the list of slides included.

they like 'um

I've purchased 3 sets of these for different grandchildren now. All of them were so excited. One granddaughter (11) especially enjoys anything science-ie, so she danced with joy. She's asking for more microscope activities. This time I sent Rs' Science Microscope Slide Accessory Kit - Standard Set, when it was her turn to be my grandchild of the week. Each week, in turn, I send one of my eight grandchildren a newsy and autobiographical letter, books, and other interesting or worthwhile things that engage the mind and/or body. I spoil them with stuff that will hopefully pull them away from screens for a little while. Anyway, all of the ones who've received these have enjoyed them.

Well made box & slides are well labeled. Definitely recommend.

This is a really nice set of slides & comes in a well made box. The box has a small latch that works well so that it doesn't accidently open. The hinges that hold the two sides of the box together are screwed in and not simply glued. The lid has foam on the inside to protect the slides. Included is a list of specimens on a small piece of paper that fits into the lid of the box. I've taken pictures of the box next to a ruler because when I got the slides, I expected that the box would be bigger. I'm glad that it isn't because it requires less storage space. These slides are suitable for teaching or for someone with a microscope at home. We purchased a microscope for my 8 year old granddaughter last year, but she didn't have many slides, so I purchased these for her. She is absolutely loving it. I definitely recommend this product.

Great Slides for a Great Price

These slides are terrific. Great detail, labeled correctly and in order. Box is sturdy, as are latches and hinges. Vive le science!

Excellent to be with a microscope of an 8 years old. Good variety of items keeps curiosity active.

Great product

So far I give 5 stars to this product. My 7 year old has a current interest in all things science and we recently got him a microscope, not realizing that it did not come with any already made slides. I found this and just received it a couple days later. It is more than I expected but I am overall pretty satisfied with it. We have yet to really use them but I am hoping my son likes them as well.

I found them fascinating.... very exciting stuff

I bought these for my kid (10 years), along with a mini microscope to see what she thought. She couldn't put the microscope and slides down until she'd viewed every single one several times.

Bought these for a gift for my niece. She loved them, but her Dad took out the bull balls one...not the best for an 10 year old.
