Mental STEM Madness Kit

I was apprehensive at first that this kit would be very simplistic and not much fun for my kids who love science experiments. I was wrong. There are several different experiments that can be performed.. They are simple enough that my 4 year old can do them, and fun enough that my 7 year old loves them too. The kit comes with most of the materials you will need so there is no getting excited about doing an experiment only to find you're lacking some of the materials needed. I do wish there was more of an explanation of the science behind the experiments to give my kids more information. But, most are very simple reactions that I have no problem explaining myself. The kit might be a little simplistic for an older child, but mine really have loved the experiments.

My 8 year old had so much fun on Christmas Day with this.

This science kit is perfect for my son. I got it for his 6th birthday and we've been having so much fun doing the experiments. It came with nearly all of the supplies except for simple things you have in your home like baking flour and water. Other kits I've bought have required so many other items which we didn't have, this one is so easy to use. He loves using the test tubes, the dropper, measuring out the components with the scoopers. He said it makes him feel like a real scientist. His 4 year old sister likes doing experiments too. This is the best kit to buy for a young child. So easy for them AND for you.

This is the most kid friendly and fun lab kit you can get. My kids are ages 2 and 4 and cannot get enough of this. Everything in the kit is high-quality, and this kit lasts a very long time. We have done these experiments over and over for 3 months and only recently have used an entire bag of something. I admit to even being impressed by how cool the activities are. This is worth every single penny. I will 100% be ordering another kit when we deplete all the things in ours.

Are the majority of these experiments something you could do yourself with some citric acid and baking soda? Absolutely. In fact, my daughter used some of my household supply to extend an experiment she had done in the kit.
Sure, you can make your own red cabbage extract... but if you are like me, you won't. Because you did for a homeschool experiment 10 years ago with your oldest child, and you still remember what a horrible mess it was.
Some of the experiments are repetitive, but that's a good thing for early childhood.
And cornstarch and water? Everyone knows that one. (if you don't, google it. Too much fun to miss).
