Amy,

I carry a line of educational prepared slides that are very economical and
contain elements that you might not be able to find at a toy store.  You can
check them out by following the link below...

These box sets range in price from $14.00 to $25.00 and include between 12
slides (Elementary Level) and 25 slides (Intermediate Level & High School
Level).

There are smaller sets available also, but are not shown on the web site.
Each set contains 5 slides and range in price from $5.95 and $8.75.
"Blood and Guts" ... brain, heart, blood cells, etc.
"Creepy Crawlies" ... (do you dare to find out?)
"Extraordinary Ordinary" ... hair, cork, fibers, etc. 
"Incredible Edible Plants" ... roots, stems, & leaves of the food we eat
"Wicked Wings" ... Insect wings: bees, butterfly, mosquito, etc.

PLUS; in addition there are over 300 additional slides that can be ordered
individually.  Contact me off list for more information.

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
