Learning Resources Pumping Heart Model

I'm not sure why this gets such terrible reviews. It's not entirely accurate but it's designed to give a simplified explanation of the circulatory system for children. My husband is a firefighter and my daughter (4 years old) is fascinated with his work especially during his EMT course. This provides a visual for her to see the blood coming into and out of the heart and to provide a gateway to questions she might not know to ask. She knows a heart pumps blood and has something to do with a pulse this provides her something to experience to link those ideas together. It has a small activity booklet. I have no idea if there are instructions in it as filling it is pretty self explanatory, just take the pump off fill it and pump the fluid in. If the dye packs are empty or dry, I haven't checked mine, some red flood coloring will suffice. I think people might be expecting a bit much of a toy.

Love this! My children couldn’t stop playing with it. They began to ask more questions and looked at the veins in their firearms asking if the blood in their veins comes from their heart.

I bought this for my son's science project and it is a great model. Its well made and easy to put together. The heart is well worth the price.

This MIGHT be something for a classroom to use, but the red liquid does not "pump" anything, it just squirts around. You have to carefully mix red dye powder and add it (without staining anything) and add it to the toy. Then you have to be SUPER careful to not let children actually play with it or they will get the red dye all over your house. Then, to put it away, you have to take the tiny parts all apart with a tiny screwdriver, drain and rinse the red dye out of all the nooks and crannies and let it dry out for several days before you can put it back together. Totally not worth the hassle. Kids did not learn anything.

We bought this for my son’s project on the cardiovascular system. It worked perfectly to start, but started leaking after 20 kids tried pumping the blood.

Great learning project for every age.

excellent teaching tool. The dye for blood is very realistic and easy to use. The 5 year old kids in class loved pressing the pump to fill heart with blood. Just wish the lungs didn't fill with blood!

MY 5 YEAR OLD GRANDSON LOVE THE HEART. HE CAN TELL YOU EVERY BIT ABOUT THE HUMAN HEART. HE IS HOME SCHOOLED AND VERY VERY SMART. THIS MODEL LEAKS FROM THE BLUB THE RED DYE AND THERE'S NOT ENOUGH OF THE DYE TO PLUMP THROUGH THE HEART AND LUNGS. AS YOUR PLUMPING IT IT STARTS TO BE PULLED BACK INTO THE BLUB SO WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING THIS HEART MODEL. SO DISAPPOINTING FOR HIM AND ME TOO.

Buenas calidad lo recomiendo

Great way to demonstrate how blood flows. Using it my first aid courses.

It's alright(ish) but quality isn't good. There's no spare or replacement blood and although its says don't use food colouring, the manufacturer replied to my request for spares and instructed me to use food colouring

Bello

The model work very well. My 4 year old son already know how the heart works in general.
