This review is from: Learning Resources Cross Section Human Heart Model (Toy)

I ordered this toy for demonstration purposes in an upcoming Toastmasters speech I'm giving. The foam is really neat, but the printed depictions of the cross section should be laminated or something. They are sort of "cheap" and the only disappointing part to this toy. The inside will not hold up to kids playing with it.

It is an accurate depiction of the heart - including the chordae (strings) on the mitral valve. It does not show the leaflets of the valves, but most kids are not going to care.

The vendor shipped the product the day I ordered it and I had it a couple of days after. That was impressive. It was well packaged.

There is a neat leaflet that accompanies this that outlines several projects.

I am overall very happy with my purchase.

This review is from: Learning Resources Cross Section Human Heart Model (Toy)

It is about the right size for a heart. I think it will be durable for my 7 yr old to play with, it is made of foam (like the stress toys.). The heart parts and the names are screen printed on the insides. It's 2 pieces, it is nice that there are not a hundred pieces to have to pick up.

As someone who has had open heart surgery it is nice to see that a child friendly model has been made at a reasonable price.

I bought this product wanting to learn more about the heart for my cardiovascular chapter in Anatomy class. When the heart arrived, I was a bit surprised at its size. It's a bit small, and it doesn't really define the atriums/ventricles. It is made of foam. As for use of a toy, it is nice. But for an advanced course, this isn't it.
