Teddy bears - in competition with the puppy and the monkey - have long dominated the soft toy scene. Trend animals, such as penguins, break in now and then but on the whole, the soft toy range has remained unchanged over the past half century. Until Giant Microbes arrived.Suddenly, the industry has opened its eyes and seen what cannot be seen without a microscope. The almost invisible, tiny world full of animals so small that they are no longer called animals, but organisms. They live in and around your body. They are not always very cosy in reality, but if you enlarge them a million times and sew them together into giant plush microbes, then it's a whole different story. Which disease do you feel a relationship with, or who would you like to give an original get-well-soon gift to? Want to make your cough or your stomach ulcer your new cuddly friend? Mix and match between 60 different giant microbes, including fat cells, ebola and lice. And best of all, you don't even need to wash your hands afterwards! Each micro-organism measures between 14 and 20 cm, which corresponds to a magnification of one million times. You also get a card with real images and information about the organism's life in its natural surroundings.
