It’s time for a gut check! There’s a reason Squishy Human Body has been the best-selling anatomy toy for over 10 years — it’s Squishy! This 12-inch-tall interactive model features nine removable squishy organs that feel like the real thing. Kids can squeeze the squishy heart and lungs, remove the squishy brain, and even uncoil the squishy intestines! Featuring 21 removable organs, bones, and muscles in a clear plastic shell, Squishy Human Body allows young doctors-in-training to dissect and rebuild the human body, again and again, using forceps and tweezers.
The handy organ-izer sheet keeps all the removable parts together for easy assembly. The stand allows kids to proudly display their assembled model on a shelf or desktop. The illustrated 24-page book takes a light-hearted approach to anatomy by following a slice of pizza as it travels through the body and interacts with different organs. The book features photos of real organs, engaging illustrations, and answers to common body function questions — even the gross ones!
Includes two-piece clear plastic human body model with a stand, 9 removable squishy organs, 12 removable hard plastic bones & muscles, forceps, tweezers, body part Organ-Izer sheet, instructions sheet, and a 24-page illustrated Anatomy Book. Although the book is written for slightly older children, this best-selling anatomy toy is appropriate for children ages 5 and up.
