Depends on the age of the kids as I don't understand the term 'grade-school'.
What I did for kids around 10 yesrs old or so was to go to the Butchers and get
some Ox kidney, heart and liver. I prepared slides from them, took a microscope
to let them see the structure and also took scapels for
Try saffron, in reality it is an acceptable stain for regular grown-up

Maybe you could use a sponge (representing tissue) soaked in water and
demonstrate cutting (ragged) vs. a sponge soaked in wax and cooled
(precise cutting) explaining the water is taken out of the cells and

Try saffron, in
red food colouring, green and blue too as well as beetroot and grape juice
and saffron could be tried in advance on the slides - just to see how
colours can be combined
you will only know by testing in advance - or you may end up with a brown
sludge covering the whole section

Contact Mary McCann who is ProjectMICRO's coordinator for NESM (New England
Society for Microscopy). NESM took on ProjectMICRO as a pet project a number
of years back. We put together 3 kits of materials (microscopes and
consumables). Two of the kits are in constant use in Vermont and
A number of dyes used in histology are also approved for use in foods. These
include:
Brilliant Blue (FDC Blue #1)
Fast Green FCF (FDC Green #3)
Erythrosin (FDC Red #3)
Tartrazine (FDC Yellow #5)

FDC green #3 is food grade fast green FCF, an excellent stain for collagen.
FDC yellow #5 is tartrazine, a plasma stain.

One more thought, NSH has a small paper pamphlet out call Histology
(hiss TOL-o-je) which has pictures, puzzles, anatomy charts (simple) to
help teach kids. Written by Judy Stasko, CLT and Jan Gardiner, BAAS,
HT(ASCP).
