Well made model . These Learning Resources models are very nice. They are well made from foam, have nice details, and feel durable. My wife teaches botany, so I got her this for Valentine's Day (you know, flowers).
Learning Resources - Cross-Section Flower Model Reviews
flimsy . This is a great model for learning the anatomy of a flower however it's too flimsy. Mine arrived with cracks and markings on it. I sent it back to amazon because I thought it was damaged due to inappropriate packaging, however when they sent me another one, it looked the same. The cross section is made of some type of "cushiony" material that doesn't take bending or other types of manipulation well. The item becomes cracked, the paint chips and the words become a little faded. The good news is that this model is one of the few if only ones poorly made; I also bought the volcano model and because the girth of the item is greater it does not bend and crack. Bottom line: this model will probably have a short lifespan with normal child play so - Save Your Money.

Cons Review
Nice model . This is a nice model when studying botany with younger children. I would have liked for the flower to have been made of a bit more sturdy material, but it will last through out study so it is fine. We used this in a science club with younger kids (ages 6 and younger) and they enjoyed being able to "see" inside a flower. The kids were a bit young to really understand what they saw when looking at a real flower through a microscope, so this one definitely fit the bill. I gave it four starts instead of five because while it is great for young children, it was a bit too simple at some points. Having a bit more information would have been nice as well as a good educational insert which would have been doable for the price.
