ALEX Toys Scientific Explorer My First Mind Blowing Science Experiment Kit, 11 Mind Blowing Science Activities and Experiments (Ages 6+)

I have received the product in October 2018 but the status shows "product on way, running late"!! I wonder what that means (it's almost Feb 2019 now)! Anyways, the game is on at too expensive for what it has. No price mentioned on the packet anywhere. All it contains is 1. a few plastic pouches with stuff normally easily available at home (baking soda etc) 2. 4 test tubes (plastic) with stand 3. Instruction booklet 4. Other small items like stirrer, pipette etc Overall, I wonder why is it priced so high as it's contents shouldn't cost more than Rs 100 max! The booklet also is not as informative or interesting as one might expect. I bought for my 7 yr old neice and ended up doing everything by myself while she got bored even looking at the experiments!! Guess her regular science book would have more interesting activities

I got this kit for my 5-year-old daughter who loves doing little experiments and I decided to try this kit out. It comes with a set of items that facilitate a range of relatively easy and fun experiments. The kit contains: red cabbage juice powder, citric acid, baking soda, color tablets, cross-linked polyacrylamide crystals, vegetable oil, corn starch, 2 sheets of goldenrod paper, 2 cotton swabs, 3 test tubes and caps, 3 clear plastic cups, 1 pipette (in the form of an eye dropper), 2 stir sticks, 1 small plastic scoop, and 1 medium plastic scoop. The experiments also call for some basic and easy-to-find household items such as water, baking flour, plate/tray, tape, red and blue pens, grape juice, coffee filter paper, etc. An older child may be able to conduct these experiments by him/herself though I feel adult supervision is necessary (it is also recommended by the manufacturer). I had to help my daughter with some parts of the experiments, especially those involving the use of citric acid. The experiments included here are: Dancing Powders Color changing liquids Acid or Base? - involves testing some safe household liquids to determine if they are acids or bases. Colorful Jiggle Crystals - we had so much fun with these! It does require patience as it takes up to 2 hours for the crystals to absorb the water and form into soft crystals. Test tube sunset Giant Jiggly Crystals Color Changing Volcano - this was awesome! We started on a modest scale making a small volcano, then I adapted the recipe and made a bigger one with bigger fizzy effects, to my preschooler's delight! Underwater Volcano Color Changing Paper Color Changing Grapes Magic Ooze Mix Colors with your eyes - mixing colors without them touching each other. Each experiment comes with detailed step by step instructions, and also a segment titled "Mind Blowing Science Secrets" which I found quite educational. Final verdict - this is an excellent beginner science kit that will motivate young children and enhance their interest in science. The experiments are easy to produce and great fun - definitely worth the money!

Excelente Kit para poder realizar diferentes experimentos. Lo trabaje con una niña de 6 años y otro de 9, los resultados fueron muy buenos. Trae casi siempre todos los materiales que se necesitan para hacer el experimento, lo único que pide extra son materiales muy fáciles de conseguir como: harina o agua; fue muy sencillo llevarlos a cabo. Me gusto mucho la calidad y la redacción del instructivo. Súper recomendado.

Definitivamente un buen regalo para niños desde los 2 años. Es divertido, fácil de hacer y los ingredientes los encuentras en todas partes. Eso sí, recomiendo que hagan los experimentos en un área donde no importan las manchas y el agua... Así los niños trabajan con libertad

Good product
