« Great gift for a godchild »

I purchased this as a birthday present for my godchild a 7 year old boy. After talking with his parents I found out it was a complete hit and his favorite birthday present by far.

« Fun for 6 year old »

This set was a hit with my 6 year old granddaughter. She liked all the experiments and was able to perform them with minimal help. It didn't take long for her to go through all of them, though, and she was wishing there were more.

« A prepatory toy for Ivy League wannabes! »

I gave this gift to my two nieces(their fathers are brothers). The opening of the one I witnessed created great interest - actually her father seemed as much interested in it as she did! It brought them together on the project of trying all the experiments....I felt my job had been done! LOL

« Awesome fun for the Junior Scientists »

Both of my kids ages 8 and 13 loved this kit. We did all the experiments over Christmas Break. Provided a little refresher in reading, science, and vocabulary when they were out of school for a week without any complaints from the kids because they loved it. Fun experiments are easy to do and cool to watch. Definitely recommend it!

« gift for my son »

We bought this as a Christmas gift for our five year old son to start introducing him to science. There are about 9 or 10 experiments that we split into two different sessions; we all had a blast each time. Really, it's pretty basic stuff, and you wouldn't have a hard time getting around most the necessary components on your own (with the exception of the red cabbage powder and citric acid), but the kit is very convenient. All-in-all, we thought this was fun and will probably do a few of the experiments a couple more times (the underwater volcano is pretty wicked). I plan to check out other products this company offers.
