2011 #Holiday Gift Guide: GIANTmicrobes Plush #Review & #Giveaway

By 31 Comments

As most of you already know, I’m a huge fan of GIANTmicrobes! I love the uniqueness and fun aspect of their plush toys and other products.  For those who aren’t familiar, GIANTmicrobes offers plush toys that are made to look like tiny microbes, only multiplied a million times their actual size!  Each one comes with an information card detailing facts on the microbe the toy represents. This year they have been releasing all new microbes that make the perfect holiday gift for your little budding scientist.
Back in October, GIANTmicrobes debuted the Bone Cell Plush, the Skin Cell Plush, and the Mortimer Vinyl Figure.  I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review one of these little guys!
I chose the Bone Cell has I knew he would be easy for my little one to hold onto.  Plus look how cute he is!  Makes me want to sing the Dry Bones song… The toe bone connected to the foot bone! The microbe seems high quality and cannot easily be torn and ripped apart like other plush toys.  This is always a plus in my book, as Baby C likes to try to destroy anything in his path!I love that these plush guys also serve an educational purpose.  Despite Pre-K through 12 science lessons, with a handful in college, I would have never known that my bones are made primarily of an intricate edifice of mineralized tissue laid down by bone cells, just like a coral reef!   Just call me a Bone Cell expert now.  You have to love a toy that teaches your little one fun facts!

GIANTmicrobes are the PERFECT size to use as stocking stuffers.  A science lover of any age will go crazy over these little microbes!   With Christmas approaching, GIANTmicrobes offers these awesome Christmas sets including either the Christmas Stocking Box or the Christmas Tree Box Ornaments.

Don’t forget to check out GIANTmicrobes on Facebook and on Twitter!
