Absolutely obsessed! Very picky kid loves putting the pieces on and as he does I use short description and he immediately picked up on the word shoes. It makes learning fun for him.

I homeschool my kiddos and this was the perfect addition for our anatomy unit. My eldest is using a squishy guts model and we got this Melissa and Doug magnetic “toy†for our four year old whom we are starting preschool for. The lesson was a hit! This is a toy that we will revisit numerous times to cover all the different systems. I picked it because it’s anatomically correct and wanted an age appropriate way to discuss the male and female parts. Like others have mentioned, this needs a lid!!!! Seriously! I’m considering getting a letter tray so that we can sit this horizontally to avoid losing parts while still maximizing space. That way, we can use the other letter tray slots to hold other similar non-lided wooden toys and puzzles. I also wonder if Melissa and Doug’s wire puzzle rack holder would work for this. I may look into getting oneIf this review was helpful, please leave a thumbs up ðŸ‘ðŸ¼Update on June 1, 2021: The largest Melissa And Doug wire rack designed for chunky puzzles will NOT accommodate this anatomy set. It can only accommodate puzzles up to 3/4†in thickness. The anatomy puzzle is about 1-1/8†thick. I measured. I still haven’t figured out an ideal storage solution. They should REALLY come with lids 😑 It’s been a few years since this purchase and we’ve managed to keep up with all the pieces, even after a cross country move. But we’ve had some close calls. My then 4 year old is now almost 6 and she still uses this. I have a 2 year old now and a 2 month old. So it will continue to get lots of use. Therefore, I’m still contemplating the best way to store this when it’s put away. I can somewhat squeeze it into a Tall clear shoebox container from The Container Store (the ~$5 one) but only if I really push it in. I never got a letter tray to store it on because it doesn’t address my need for a lid. So for now, the shoe box from The Container Store will have to do. And when it’s in use, it just sits on a bookshelf (Montessori style).

My 5 year old is so interested in the human body, especially the skeleton, but I was having a hard time finding resources that showed genitalia in a way that I felt was age appropriate (most other resources dont even mention it). This has been PERFECT for that. She loves doing the puzzle and we love that it goes layer by layer through body. I also didn't realize it was magnetic and can stand up so that was a pleasant surprise.My only reason for not giving it a 5 star review is the packaging. It's a wooden tray which I love BUT it could really benefit from having a lid. Besides that one point this toy is so much fun. Perfect for a fun way to approach anatomy lessons with little ones for any kiddo who is interested in the human body

This is a great buy if you want to introduce small children to human anatomy. It provided our children with hours of fun. They start to learn about their body and asks questions. The product is good quality as what you would expect from Melissa & Doug. A real good buy!

I really enjoyed this learning tool. Melissa and Doug did a great job of maintaining transparency when introducing the reproductive organs. I think it would have been foolish for them and confusing to children to show the uterus or testes, only for the next magnet to display an ambiguous nub. Children from a young age will have a healthy and age-appropriate curiousity about their own bodies. Because of this, my child got an opportunity to see that female bodies and male bodies are different and what the purpose of those differences are. It lead to a great discussion (which means I'm comfortable with the topic) and my child's better understanding of their body and the bigger picture of the many marvels of the human body. If you are a prude and the photos of other reviewers of this product are bothersome to you, please don't buy it. Your child may enjoy learning about the human body, but you may not be ready for their questions.

The line of magnetic dolls is a great addition for a school or home. I bought one for my preschool and my daughter. This is the third kind I've purchased. Ive had a different one for 15 years, being used at home with my son and then at my preschool. Very sturdy and good price.

This was a big help with my child learning about the body. Made it fun. Magnetic pieces and both male and female pieces.

Move over Picasso; my daughter's latest masterpiece isn't on paper – it's a magnetic human anatomy puzzle by Melissa & Doug. This isn't just a puzzle; it's a miniature medical school for pint-sized doctors. I've witnessed more body part reunions than a superhero team-up movie. Forget regular puzzles; my living room has become an anatomy lab with limbs, organs, and a wooden stand that deserves an honorary PhD. My kid is now a certified body builder – of magnetic human figures, that is. Who knew learning about organs could be this magnetic, both literally and figuratively? Melissa & Doug, you've turned anatomy into an art form!

Esta increÃble, súper bonito, buena calidad y permite perfectamente enseñar a los niños pequeños interesados en anatomÃa. Se identifica muy bien los diferentes sistemas que tiene un cuerpo y hace la distinción entre el sistema reproductor femenino y masculino. Si sigues la filosofÃa montessori se acopla muy bien por el material en madera y la organización en la charola que trae.
