When I was a kid we played with traditional puzzles - assemble the picture of a cat while trying not to lose too many pieces. The game has evolved to 3D, and even to more unusual incarnations…

Though I wouldn’t say the Puzzle Eye Ball Anatomy Model is really a toy, it’s an interesting idea, and not only for med students. I’m quite squeamish when it comes to the workings of the human body (I don’t want to know exactly how fragile we are), but I had a couple of friends who were fascinated by anatomy and who’d love it. I have to admit that assembling body parts is at least an unique endeavour.

I think it could even make a good tool for a class - it beats drawing the body parts, anyway - and the hands-on experience could do wonders. It might also stop students from messing with the local skeleton model (what class didn’t have a prankster to steal bones or put a cigar in its mouth?)
