The Purple Cow Crazy Scientist Color Laboratoty - Science Kits for Young Researchers. for Learning & Education - STEM Educational Games for Kids, Boys & Girls, with Instructions

We sent the Survivor kit to our grandchildren to provide activities to do after elearning. We thought this kit would give them additional skills as they camp often with their parents. They attend a STEM school and enjoy experiments. Our grandson learned to start a fire using the magnifying glass. His dad told him it wouldn’t work, but he soon had a shoulder! Next, he had his older sister doing it to engrave a message in a medallion of wood.Next he made the sundial and a compass. They are parceling our the activities so they don’t do all experiments too fast. We will be ordering other kits to help them pass time while they stay safe at home.

It's fun and cool for both me and the kids. As one who likes to explore and test things and teach the kids all kinds of new things, we enjoyed learning and doing things together, especially now that it's so cold outside. warmly recommended!

This kit has about 10 different activities to experiment with basically orbee type beads. You can experiment to see which type of water they grow faster in, make different color beads, make a bracelet... definitely good for kids that can wait to see things happen as it takes a few hours to see some results, but definitely worth it! These beads provide endless fun even after the experiments are done! Very fun kit and let's them see what real science is all about!

I purchased this for my 6 year old son because he is so curious about optical illusions. He was so excited when I pulled this out as a surprise. The experiments are fun and easy to do. As we would go through an experiment my son would get excited about the optical illusion and ask questions. The book explains how the optical illusion occurs and why you see what you are seeing. I love that it has a sturdy metal box that holds everything needed for the experiments. The instruction book is colorful with easy to follow directions. This is fun and educational at the same time.

We were looking for something educational to do this summer and found this kit. It has been a lot of fun going through the experiment book and choosing activities with my 8yo. We are also getting a chance to teach him about safety and are preparing for our next camping trip! Just a head up, there are some standard household items (paper, aluminum foil, etc.) that are not included, but all of the "science" items and instructions are in there!

My kids are having a blast with this kit! It is the perfect summer staple when you have to beat the heat and stay inside. My 8-year-old had no problem figuring out most of the experiments on his own...my hubby helped him with a few and they had no issues at all. Now my son doesn't stop with the questions and sharing of the activities. He has been taking them everywhere with him and showing anyone who will listen. His favorite is the piggy bank activity. He has my daughter completely baffled and excited. Now she wants her own kit!

So cheaply made the experiments are undoable. For example with the color disc experiment you cannot spin the flimsy cardboard top fast enough to get the desired effect without the whole thing crashing or falling apart. Avoid at all costs. Total junk. Total disappointment. Total let down for my six hear old, I have noticed most, if not all of these kits are incomplete. You have to provide most of the required elements. Total disaster,

We tried this with our 5.5 and 4-year-old. I think they were just a little young for some of it, but the water beads are their favorite and they loved checking in on the beads each day and then they played and played with them. Their favorite was smashing the large ones and seeing how they reacted to the other beads. Definitely a good kit for your budding scientist.

Totally delighted with the product
