Brilliant, 2010-08-04
I built this a good few years ago when I was around 11 years old and I did`nt have and problems with it at all. It was fairly easy to build following the instructions and it teaches you a lot, also it makes you very proud after finishing such a project and seing it work right infront of them. It showed me how the 4 cilinder engine works and the little bits behind all the mechanisms. I reccomend this to anyone taking an interest in Engineering.

AMAZING!!!, 2010-07-27
I bought 2 of these, one for me and one for a moving in present for my friend. It has to be one of the best thing I have ever bought. I'm 19 and so am a pretty good age to be playing on this and I have managed to convert most of my friends and hopefully they will all buy one too.

I just like to bounce around the house and it also just gives somewhere novel for my friends to sit when they come round to my house.

It is just a great product. I'm quite a big guy too and it is still big enough for me to play on, so no need for me to be worried that i'm going to break it.

A definite buy!! Get a few if you can so friends and/or family can all play on them together!

Fun and Educational!, 2010-08-14
Bought this for my 4 year old and also as a gift for friends daughter who is 6 and they both loved it. What a relief to find something that is exciting but also educational, and lasts more than 5 minutes. A very worthwhile present.

• Amazing molecular structure, the faster you interact with it the more brittle it becomes!
• You won't stop using it!
• ITEM IN STOCK - EXPRESS DELIVERY SERVICE

Its goo so expect it to end up everywhere..., 2010-08-08
The qualities of this product are unique and interesting and as such held the attention of my children for around 30 minutes. Once the initial shock and awe phase of the opening was complete it wore off rapidly. Not that it did not peek an interest in the physics behind molecules in solids and liquids for the briefest of times (so definitely an educational score on that one..) it however took the long road of painful neglect and disinterest all quirky toys take to the shelf of loneliness. Where one rainy day it was rediscovered and guess what? When it is warm and takes the properties of a liquid... it is fun and if you leave it on a woven fabric for any period of time (say overnight) and you find it in the morning its hard and yep you guessed is 'bonded' the fabric for all time. No matter how ingenious the effort to warm and remove it! So buy enjoy, get the educational sound bite and then BIN IT before your kids see the dark side of science. "Destroyers of woven fabric we have become".

NHM Pocket Microscope, 2010-08-30
Let's start at the begining, I didn't buy this as a toy. I needed something with more magnification than my loop for some grass id work. As the cheapest field microscope with 40x mag. would cost about £70 and given the good reviews this product already had, I decided to take a punt with this and leave off the field microscope unless needed. I have to say this did the job very well. It's not perfect and has its limitations, it can be a bit fiddly and is plastic but it's light, small and only £7 not £70. More importantly, the results were very good and perfectly adequate for my needs. Don't be put off by the price, give this a go and only spend more if you decide it is warranted. It may be marketed as a toy but don't be fooled into thinking it is one and if you decide it's not good enough for your needs, what have you lost?

Excellent beginner's microscope, 2010-07-24
My 8 year old daughter selected this herself with Amazon tokens (with a bit of guidance). The microscope itself is a brillant learning tool for kids to explore and understand their environment better. I would have liked more prepared slides, but then I suppose we can make as many as we'd like as the microscope kit comes with everything you need to become a junior scientist. In sum, good value for money and if you have a budding scientist in your family, or just a curious child, this gives you a tool to help expand their horizons.
