GIANTmicrobes Common Cold Plush - Say "Feel Better" with this Unique, Educational Get Well Soon Gift, Learn All About the Common Cold with this Cuddly Companion

Gave it to the smartest 13 year old I know so she'd always have an extra brain cell to call on. She was delighted. It's very cute, soft, and just big enough. It's perfect and we love it.

Cute

When I first found this product on Amazon, I laughed out loud! What a cool idea with the potential for so many teachable moments! I bought this little guy for my classroom, and I know he will be a big hit in my upcoming critical thinking / reading / writing classes. (I could see him used in Health and Science classes as well as other subjects as well.) The product I received was brand new in a plastic bag; it had a clever info card attached. I felt like the product was well-made, even with his wispy little parts that another reviewer mentioned! This neuron / brain cell has sweet, big eyes that seem alert--like he is taking everything in! LOL I enjoyed the little information card, which offered some fun facts and trivia about neurons. (The information makes the card worth keeping.) It also stated how many times larger this doll was than the actual real neurons in the brain. I noticed some reviewers were concerned about the size of this neuron doll--being smaller than expected. But, hey, he is LARGE compared to other neurons of the real variety! :) My only TINY gripe about the product is the orange cloth tags near the bottom of the new doll. (If Amazon publishes my picture on the product page, you can see this!) I understand why they are there---identification and authenticity of product. However, that orange stands out beside that gray like a beacon. I'm thinking about cutting them off, so he will look like the picture on the Amazon page. In summary, I am impressed with this product and its potential. Teachers: buy this product if you want to talk about the brain or thinking in your class. Neuron will be an unusual, likable, memorable prop. Go on! Give your neuron a name and let him promote the cultivation and care of real live brain cells and brains! For a fun animation of Neuron, you can visit his page on the GiantMicrobes website. GiantMicrobes, at this latest writing, seems to have a Facebook fan type page as well. Neuron is my favorite Giant Microbe! UPDATE: This item may also be available on Amazon: Giant Microbes Brain Cell (Neuron) Gigantic doll (a BIG one!) Research to learn more!

Great product but did not make my child any smarter. neither did smart water. Overall good quality gift. Would purchase again

Perfect for the neurologist in your life

Lo máximo! Lo más hermoso amor!

Gift for my neuroscientist wife. She liked it.

It's a pretty straightforward product; the description and pictures match the product. It's smaller than I'd have imagined--thinner, I guess is the way I would describe it--but all in all it's a great gift for your friends or family or yourself if you like a fun way rto satisfy your inner nuerobiologist's interests. It's pricey, but it's to be expected, in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this as a gift. I bought it for my boyfriend who's studying Neuroscience, and he loves it--he takes it everywhere with him in his backpack.
