nanobugs Card Collection $19.50/set

The nanobugs card collection is a fun way to learn about the bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live all around us but are too small to see except under a microscope (nano means "very, very small").

Through the character cards, learn about 46 microbes that we call "nanobugs" and whether they are helpful to the body or how to prevent them. Kids will love the cartoons and learning their scientific, fun-to-say names. Parents and teachers will love the accurate information on the microbes and how to avoid the ones that cause infection.

Each 60-card collection contains 46 nanobugs characters (28 bacteria, 15 viruses, and 3 fungi), and 14 informational cards in a beautiful tin with rounded corners and the nanobugs logo on the lid. Tin will hold more than 100 cards so there is room for additional nanobugs character cards as your collection expands.


Cartoons and Science in one Deck!

nanobugs Playing Cards (Poker Size) $9.50

Reinforce the importance of thorough hand washing with fun and strategically placed static clings featuring the Clostridium difficile bacteria.
