Tissue: A STEM Sensory Mix

from $9.00

Take a look beneath the skin and explore the incredible world of connective tissue! This sensory mix represents the tissue inside our bodies, a busy, living environment where cells, blood vessels, and other structures work together every day. In the Boo-Boo Kit, this becomes the habitat where Mac the Macrophage lives and waits until the body needs his help.

A base of painted orzo creates the tissue itself, while tube-shaped pasta represents the capillaries that weave through our tissues, carrying blood where it needs to go. Heart tubes help children make the connection that this blood is part of a much bigger circulatory system, continually traveling to and from the heart.

Use the Tissue Mix to build a healthy body, create a pretend wound, explore what happens when blood vessels are damaged, or simply investigate what might be happening underneath our skin. It turns something normally hidden inside our bodies into a playful, hands-on opportunity for discovery.

What’s Included

A hand-painted sensory mix featuring:

  • Orzo pasta representing connective tissue

  • twisted pastas representing collagen and fibroblasts

  • Tube-shaped pasta representing tiny blood vessels and capillaries

  • Heart-shaped tube pieces representing blood traveling to and from the heart
