The Human Skull, well there is one to think about!
It is a lot smaller than imagined as well as being a lot trickier to do to!
It is tricky at first trying to put the brain together (the secret lies in the fact that you leave most of the bits together in the first place). Plus there are num bers on the parts, so this helps, but this wasn't noticed at first.
You certainly need to look at the diagram and as for a eight year old being able to do it unaided, well I would love to see that!
Best not to have any wine or such like beforehand otherwise it might not end up resembling a human skull at all.
Our seven year old got so annoyed with this kit, the nasal passage in particular that he stormed off leaving his dad to finish it, (well I say finish it, 20 .. or so minutes later). Not a thing to bring the family together on a Sunday afternoon, our daughter had a huff as she was trying to video it being put together, and husband well at x age saying "its dead hard!"
It looks realistic when finished, but you do have to keep holding it all together.
The tweezers, well they are made out of plastic, so no chance of them being reused for beauty needs etc.
Basically a fiddly kit which has tempers flowing!
Big tip is to keep the pieces together in the box on opening it and you are then halfway there.
A item which looks the part when finished, not cheap plastic tacky but a hell of a job to put together. Worth the £10.00 it is in the shops, I don't think so, according to our seven year old £2.00.
Only a present I would buy for a child I didn't like or whose parent's I didn't then they could suffer!

The picture is deceptive on amazon! (however they did state the size of item) It's quite small, fairly straightforward to assemble and certainly keeps one amused for a period of time. The accompanying leaflet assists with the assemble. There is however not much information about the parts itself. I suppose it's ok for an 8-year-old.
It recommends ages 8 and above but I think a mature 7 year-old can appreciate the item. It does stimulate the young mind and I would recommend it to rouse their interest in science and medicine.

Having grown up reading National Geographic magazine and owning many of their books and products I am a big fan.
From their humble monthly magazine to their camera bags the quality is outstanding and their prices reasonable.
The Human Skull is no exception.
The model is quailty made of durable plastic the colours are clear and the detail, considering the size is outstanding.
The kit comes with a set of tweezers and an instruction manual that also explians what each individual part does and whilst simply written for children to understand i was surprised as an adult what I learnt.
For anyone with children of secondary age who wants to inspire their children to learn then this is a great fun product to get them interested and like most toys will probably have you the parent sneaking into their room whilst their at school to have a play yourself.
If I have any crticism of this product it would be the size of it. If it was twice the size it would probably capture the childrens imagination more and be less likely to result in parts going missing or getting hoovered up. It would also make it more accessable to a younger audience with less risk of them wanting to consume the small parts.
A great gift and perfect stocking filler

Double check the size
Apologises I made a mistake. The scall was perfect, but the size was to small for what I wanted. Check that it's the size you want. It was to fiddly for my purposes. Read more

Good, but small.
If I'm honest, I would have preferred a massive life-size skull with gooey bits of brain. Now that is a toy! Anyway, price-wise, you probably know what you're getting. Read more

This kit is a great idea but it's just too fiddly - there are too many pieces and they're too small. Read more

Not a good model for anyone of any age. The pieces are very fiddly, they do not fit together properly and a badly made

Fun but fiddly - might be better for a child older than 8!
This is a rather intricate 3D puzzle, that took some effort to put together (and that was for the adults in the room!). Read more
