Cowabunga! Apr 19, 2010 These silly furry creations are fun for illustrating and talking about different diseases. It helps especially when talking to younger kids, who can get up close and personal with these friendly versions of bad bacterias and viruses.

Big Hit with K-5 Crowd Apr 03, 2009 My 4th grade son and his friends have been hit hard with the 'Giant Microbe' bug. This age group loves to collect and compare things (like Pokemon, U.B. Funkeys, etc.) and these Giant Microbes fit the bill. As a parent, I see the toys themselves as relatively benign smallish stuffed plushes. The information tags attached to each microbe give interesting facts about the causes, effects, and cures for each 'microbe,' giving them some educational value. Parents be warned, however - some of the microbes represent ... ummm, mature ... diseases, so be prepared to either divert your child to the more innocent ones (such as Mad Cow) or to discuss with your child why he cannot take his Herpes to school.
