Teach Your Kids About Germs In A Fun Way! Giant Microbes Review & Giveaway!

With all of the flu and cold bugs going around this season I had a chuckle when I was contacted by Giant Microbes to do a review. What are Giant Microbes you may wonder. Well they are plush dolls that look like common microbes over a million times their actual size. So each plush looks just like the microbe only much, much bigger.

We received the common cold, the flu and the swine flu microbes for review. I have to say these are the only flu and cold bugs I want in my house! My husband and I were intrigued by each one and what they looked like seeing as they were representative of the microbe that you can't otherwise see. I said so this is what we need to watch out for, now we know what it looks like! Ha Ha! If only they were that big so we really could see them and avoid them! Danika loves her "bugs" as she calls them and insisted on sleeping with them.

Here is what the dreaded swine flu looks like! I think he is kinda cute :) Giant Microbes are also a fun way to teach your kids about germs and how to stay healthy as well as why they are ill. Each of the GIANTmicrobes® comes with an image and information about the real microbe it represents. They have a huge variety of microbes to choose from. They would make a great get well soon gift too!

You can buy any of these cute Giant Microbes on their site! They come in a 5-7'' size, a petri dish with 3 minis or a gigantic 15-20'' size. Prices start around $7.95.

Win! One reader will win the microbe of their choice!

This giveaway has ended. Congrats to the winner:
