You guys are amazing. I ordered on Monday and got the parcel on Wednesday - thanks for a great service.
Jenny, Australind WA

I live in South Africa (so postal service is not reliable) but my sister lives in Sydney - I tried you out for her birthday present for the first time and am beyond impressed. The approximate Rand value was on each item which helped convert immediately, product knowledge on the website was great, and instructions very clear for ordering and paying. I paid by credit card, asked for it to be gift-wrapped, and it was delivered normal post within a week. Thank you so much for fantastic service.

What the Giantmicrobes is all about... Bookmark and Share

What would the common cold virus look like if we magnified it a million times?? A lot cuter than you'd think!

Giantmicrobes (just like their microscopic counterparts) are taking the world by storm. They've escaped from under the microscope and climbed out of their Petri dishes to introduce themselves, so we can get to know them and yes, perhaps even love them.

Giant MicrobesThrow away your cuddly teddy bears and fluffy stuffed puppies – wouldn't you rather hug Staphylococcus Aureus? Every Giantmicrobe comes complete with a bio on its biology, explaining its features and functions!

Meet some of the most important members of your body – the Brain Cell (Neuron), White Blood Cell and Red Blood Cell. And finally meet some of the villainous viruses that are just waiting to meet you – there's the Common Cold, The Flu, Kissing Disease (or Epstein-Barr Virus) and MRSA.

Giant MicrobesGiantmicrobes are a fantastic way to teach children (and adults) more about their body, life and the universe! They're also just so gosh-darn huggable and perfect for the person in your life who's just that little bit left of centre (in other words, everyone!).

Why not donate them to a school! Teach your nieces and nephews something in a fun way! They're the perfect graduation gift for your resident med student or science geek.

Giantmicrobes - they are seriously catching! The only symptom is a smile you just can't wipe off your face and the only cure is to order yours now!

Product Specification

Giantmicrobes are soft toys in the likeness of tiny microbes but magnified by 1,000,000 times their actual size.

Giantmicrobes range from between 12 to 17 cm (4.7 to 6.7 inches) in size and each comes with an image of the real microbe it represents, as well as information about the microbe.
