Amy,
Go to a Toys R Us and they have a good selection of different kinds of slides and they are not that expensive.

My 7 year old son got a microscope for Christmas.  He's very excited to look

    at slides! 
    The microscope came with 3 slides:  Pine needle, onion peel, and pumpkin

    stem.  
    Problem is, he's bored with those slides and wants more. 
    I made him a few here in the surgical path dept. on the cryostat, but
I'm 
    not directly in histology anymore, so I can't just cut a few extras and 
    stain them myself. 
    I don't know where to get more slides for him, short of paying 29.99
PLUS 
    shipping and handling for only TEN slides from the place where I got the

    microscope to begin with. 
    Anyone have some extras they'd like to share?  He'd really like to see
some 
    colors  and 'funky designs' as he likes to say.   We made a few from his

    spit and even one from his brother's boogers (lol) but he's getting
tired of 
    the same old stuff & is acutally really interested in what the 'funky 
    colors' mean.... 
    I'd be willing to pay postage..... 
    Thanks so much for any help!! 
    Amy
