User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good first slides for inquisitive youth.
I purchased this group of slides along with a microscope for my grandson for Christmas. He is very inquisitive and this has sparked his creativity to make slides of his own. He enjoys this gift and includes his younger siblings in his discoveries.

5 Stars Prepared slides
My son really likes these. It’s cool to see normal everyday things under the microscope. It’s nice that these are already prepared, ready to look at.

3 Stars You get what you pay for
48 specimens for less than $[...] bucks. That’s less than 50 cents a specimen. I wasn’t expecting a lot for my money and I didn’t get a lot either. There’s a reason why these slides are in the “toy” section. They’re good enough, for the price, but certain not high quality. The better your microscope (both top and bottom illumination is really necessary for the insect specimens), the better your experience.

1 Star Inferior product
The inferior quality of the mounting and preparation of the slides made these almost useless with a microscope.

These seemed like they were hastily prepared and never inspected. The educational value is questionable and likely to frustrate any student that uses them.

5 Stars great slides
This is a great collection of slides. My daughter got a microscope for her 8th birthday and she used her money to buy these slides and they are a great well rounded collection. She has really enjoyed them.

8 Lumistick Glowsticks Glow Stick Bracelets Mixed Colors Tube of 100

8 Lumistick Glowsticks Glow Stick Bracelets Mixed Colors Tube of 100




The best brand of glow sticks on the market. You will receive 1 tube of 100 LumiStick luminescent light bracelets. Each tube contains a even mix of 5 colors — Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Pink. Your order will also contain 100 connectors so you can hook the ends together to make bracelets and necklaces. Once they start glowing, LumiStick brand glow light bracelets will last you all night. They will glow super bright for 8 – 10 hours. Then, they will start to fade out but may continue to emit some light for up to 36 hours. These LumiStick brand glow light bracelets are fresh from the factory. They come directly from the factory and were manufactured just a few weeks ago. We are constantly getting new shipments from the factory, so you know these are as fresh and new as they come. They have a shelf life of 2 years. Inside the glow light bracelets are two chemicals that emit light or glow when they are mixed together. Inside the glow light bracelets is a thin glass tube, when you bend it for the first time, you break the inner glass tube. This mixes the two chemicals together. Just shake it up and presto — it starts glowing like magic! Lumistick brand glow light bracelets brand glow-in-the-dark products are non-toxic. They are not radioactive and they are not flammable. The almost never break open, but if they do, the chemicals inside can be washed off skin and clothes with ordinary soap or detergent.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars I served it’s purpose
I don’t know if this was worth the shipping cost since I probably could have gotten it at a local store for less, but the convenience was there.

5 Stars Great for Burningman
Great for illumination at Burningman. They last all night. I used them to light myself and my bikes. If you play with them too much they break and squish all over. The drawback is that in the morning they are MOOP. However they don’t require expensive batteries.

2 Stars Cheap light sticks, but not the best quality
Some of them light up well but for the most part, they are cheap for a reason. I wish they made better glow sticks cause I would have bought those for more money if available.

5 Stars Great gobs of glowsticks
This price is incredible for this many glow sticks. They were a huge hit at my kid’s Bar Mitzvah celebration…. They were very bright and colorful. Great product.

5 Stars intertaining
kids were surprised had a blast putting them together to make what they wanted excellant vibratent colors

3 Stars Faulty description of prepared slides
This description says there are 48 prepared slides, but there are only 24.

Not good! And not up to your standards.

4 Stars Great fun for my 7 year old!
These slides have been thoroughly enjoyed by my 7 yr old son. He received a microscope for Christmas along with these slides, and he is still having a blast studying them now (2 months later)! The variety of specimens is plenty to keep a child this age entertained for quite a while. Great quality too!
