5 Stars its great have a young one? into to science its wonderful
Purchased this for my 5 year old granddaughter for christmas. This she said out of the gazzillions of presents she got, including one of those riding atv looking things. This she annouced was her favorite thing for christmas. There are about 10 different experiments to do maybe a few more. And she loved every minute of it. I am thrilled I bought it and would love a recommendation for more kits like this. From the puny volcano, to the crystals, to the fizzing underwater volcano this kit gets 5 stars!

5 Stars Loads of fun for the kids!
My children are 6 and 9 and they were entertained for hours. The messiness factor is fairly low considering the objects of discovery within this toy. The volcano was nothing like what you would think of from past experiences, but they loved that experiment the best!

4 Stars Fun but expensive
This is the sort of kit that you buy exclusively for the instructions (though you could buy a science experiment book instead) and a couple of chemicals that you don’t have in your kitchen (in this case red cabbage juice powder, goldenrod paper and crystals). $20-$25 is a bit too much for that, but I bought my kit at Michael’s with a 50% off coupon (so I only paid $14 or so after tax) and I think it’s not a bad value for that. It will make me go to the store for more supplies that are not included (baking flour and grape juice in my case). But I think the point is that it’s getting us started on doing science experiments together – maybe later we’ll branch out on our own.

So far we’ve done two experiments. The first one is your simple mixing baking soda with citric acid and water, which most kids have done a lot, but the second one adds red cabbage juice powder to the mix, and that makes a lot of difference. My 7yo loved seeing the glasses turn different colors, and fizz or not fizz depending which ingredient she added to it. She started not wanting to do any experiments saying science was for boys – but by the end of that experiment she was hooked and ready for more :-) Now I need to find a supplier of red cabbage juice powder to repeat these experiments at her birthday party :-)

5 Stars Educational Fun!
Our 5-year-old loves doing the experiments in this box. It’s designed to teach with simple experiments and she has certainly learned from them. The experiments reinforce was is learned and helps her to remember the concepts.

5 Stars Makes a great gift for a 4 year old.
Gave this science kit as a gift to a 4 year old. He ssaid he loved it and even his little sister who is 2 really got into it as well. Great alternative to your typical Fisher-Price toys for gifts, this item really gets the little ones thinking on their own. Highly recommended.

3 Stars Could be better
The experiments are very simple. My son is 6 1/2 and is into science, so I thought this would be a great learning gift. It does teach about acids and bases and how they react, and asks questions about “what do you think will happen now”. However the BIG part of this kit is the volcano and that really left something to be desired. It calls for making a tiny volcano and watching the reactions of the chemicals. I guess we were really expecting more.

5 Stars Perfect for your budding scientist!!!!
My daughter is 7 and really loves science. I read the reviews before buying this kit and its exactly as reviewed! The experiments are easy and fun! She literally does them by herself. We helped her with the first couple experiments just so she would understand that you have to read the instructions exactly. She has had so much fun that she now does an experiment and then adds her own little things to see what happens. The experiments only take a small amount of the products provided. This is definitely not a do all the experiments once and then you are done because you have used up all the ingredients. It is goint to provide fun for quite a while! I will definitely buy kits like this from the maker!
