Dissect-It, Piranha Dissection Kit, STEM Toys for Kids, Ages 6+

The product came as described. Some reviews mentioned the gel crumbling off of the skeleton, we did not have that problem. My kids (2 and 6) had fun removing the skeleton from the gel, but lost interest quickly after. My daughter (6) said it was gross, just the idea of dissecting an animal and seeing the bones and organs inside. I thought it was cool, haha. My complaint is the lack of internal organs. It came with 6, but was lacking in some big ones (like the heart and brain). The information booklet had pretty good information, it was slightly too scientific for my 6 year old (and obviously my 2 year old). I’ll hold onto the kit and use it again next year. If the refill packs don’t work, I could easily use jello. I’d recommend this product to any young elementary grade kid who isn’t grossed out by dissection. :)

This product is GREAT for learning. We used it for my son’s homeschooling dissection instead of a real fish since he’s only 8 years old and his teacher thought it was a really good idea. It has a pamphlet that’s very informative of the organs and bones as well.

Got it for my son for his 5th birthday. He loves my anatomy figure with removable organs so I thought this would be great for him since he also has a fascination with piranhas. He loves it. He tore right into it and was in awe that the "goo" looked like a fossil as well. He wanted to make it again very shortly after the first time. We have yet to set another mold but he has assured me after a couple hours of playing with it and then on and off the rest of the day that he "NEEDS" the salamander and the frog too!

Dissect-It Simulated Synthetic Lab Dissection Toys are a line of STEM learning toys that give children a realistic dissection experience without using real animals. The toys are made of a gelatin-like material that is safe for children. They include a dissection table and plastic tools.

My grandson loves these kits. This is his fourth.

Item came in the next day as Stated . Not damaged and in good shape.

Inspires learning!

Not exactly what I expected. The gel exterior of the fish is like jello. It crumbles easily and doesn't retain its shape at all. At one point the directions said to slice and peel back the fake skin.... that's not going to happen! The jello stuff was crumbling inside the package before we could even figure out how to get him out. Also , the diagram showing which part was what was in black-and-white white and difficult to understand. I couldn't figure out how to put it back together either. Over all it was fun but it could have been more informative with a better and in color diagram.
