  Anything to get kids interested in science! These remind me of those cuddly little microbes that are so popular. I guess that’s the point…anyway, how cute!

  If I ever have kids I’m gonna buy toys like these so that they can get into Science at an early age. Oh, and yes those Microbes are cute as heck!

  Not only are they super cute, they are educational. Why didn’t someone think of this years ago?

  You know what would be great? If you could fit these together Voltron-style to form atoms and molecules.

  a couple years back, i had to study up on muon neutrinos and other subatomic particles in order to write good copy and develop good graphics on an exhibit that features the science behind “seeing” them. i’m afraid even the site of these innocuous cute little plush fellas is still enough to make my brain hurt bad. i’m curled up in the fetal position as i type this. i want my mommy.

  I don´t think this will create an interest towards science. It´s just bizarre.

  These sort of remind me of Giant Microbes.

  I love the names of subatomic particles.
