Customer Reviews

An inexpensive way to add prepared slides to your collection, but durability an issue.
Learning Resources Prepared Slides Combination Set, 48 Specimens provides young scientists the opportunity to view the world in a new and different way. For a reasonable cost ($16 for me...) I'm able to share something fun and interesting with my daughter which elicits "look at this Mom..." and "what do you think a 'blank' looks like under the microscope?" Glass slides are ideal, but they also break and can injure. These slides are not made of glass, thus there's no real chance at injury, but they can tear and don't offer the ideal clear view every time. It depends upon what you are looking for, but for a cheap starter set, I think it's a good buy. Just be gentle and don't bend them!

Very nice
I bought this product and a microscope for both of my grandsons for Christmas. They still enjoy them. They are both 8 years old and it introduced them to a whole new world.

Great beginner slide set
I purchased this slide set for my 8-year old daughter and she loves it. She has spent alot of time using it. There is a nice assortment of specimens. She is now looking forward to making her own slides. I just asked her how she likes it and she says that "I recommend them for kids who are interested in science or tiny squashed up bugs". Of course they are glass and should be handled with some care.
