Learning Resources Primary Science Deluxe Lab Set | Preschool Science Kit Toys, STEM Toys, Experiments for Kids, 45 Pieces, Ages 3+

I've been on the fence about this product for like a year. My son is 4.5 and when this recently went on sale for $33, I snagged a set. I'm usually the kind of parent who isn't a "spend money on the kit when you can find everything you need at the dollar store/probably have something I could sort of use for the same idea already/make it yourself" type. But in the case, I'm so glad I did because for once I don't have to go looking all over kingdom come to find ideas and materials which saves me a ton of time, and it's visually enticing and appealing to a child, which is part of his enthusiasm towards using it. I get asked to do something in this set every day now and that's pretty sweet. The gift went over well with my kid who's a sensory experience lover. I definitely lead the expirement, but he's the one following my verbal instructions and doing all the action because it's safe for little hands, there's a decent margin for error, and he gets to really connect concepts like "do what your mother says because MAYBE she actually knows wtf she's talking about" and I love how he's learning about the process of science and expirements and concepts (sorry, dad and I are both science majors so it's an enjoyable aspect for us too) . He's got a good attention span for his age, the expirements are definitely dynamic for this age and I'd say up to maybe 7, if the child hasn't done stuff like this with you already or in school. Even so these activities have a wide range of quick experiences to longer ones requiring more patience, think like something that would sit for a couple days vs something with an immediate action. The instructions and concepts are explained simply on the cards, however some of them might be better further explained for engagement of concepts. For example, one of my son's favorite shows is DIY Sci on Amazon Prime with Steve Spangler. So when we did the expirement involving density ("Fireworks") after having watched DIY's episode discussing those concepts, it was a good way to tie in what we'd learned on the show already and my son loved it. As for the stuff you need, you'll probably already have all of it, but I went through the expirement cards and here's what's listed besides stuff like measuring spoons/water: Gummy bears Salt Egg Vinegar Paper towel Food coloring Paper cup Thread/twine Large paperclip Baking soda Cooked spaghetti Baby oil Vegetable oil White washable paint Glitter Sodium bicarbonate tablets Honey Milk 1 celery stalk w/leaves 1 white flower (carnation) Liquid dish soap Cotton swab Sensory items/foods with texture/outdoor items to view under scope Ice Half and half Sugar Vanilla extract M&Ms

The grandkids loved it! Played with it for hours on end! Great purchase, would highly recommend!

My 3 and 5 year old adore this set. They are always asking me to set it up so that they can "do science." The experiments are simple and practical, easy to do with common household supplies, and they're simple and fast enough that they feel appropriate for their attention span. One caveat: somewhat messy, the tubes that connect to the funnels are just okay (they come apart easily). Definitely put something down to absorb water, or do it outside.

Our 4-year-old granddaughter loves science, and she was very excited to receive this kit as a Christmas gift. Overall, it's a great set, and we spent many happy hours experimenting. The biggest disappointment is that the plastic flasks and stand are so lightweight that you need to take some sort of precautions to prevent your equipment from tipping over. We addressed the problem by purchasing a stainless steel cookie sheet and some magnets to put on the bottom of the flasks and stand, and that helps hold the equipment in place while catching spills. But even a very dextrous preschooler is going to need an adult to supervise/ assist. Which is great, because it's a fun thing to do with a kid. Also, the microscope/ magnifier is a little unwieldy for a little person. Overall, this is a good value for the money. We did some of the included experiments, which were very cool, and Amelia also had a great time setting up the equipment for her own experiments. Funnels and flexible tubing clipped to a stand and dripping into flasks or test tubes are endlessly intriguing.

This was a Christmas gift for the grandkids. It turned out to be a great family activity. The grandkids loved it.

We just completed an experiment from the cards over a year after purchase & everything we used is still in good condition after regular bath-time play.

My family absolutely loved this kit. We bought this for our four year old daughter and she fell head over heels in love. It is so informative, and with the contents they provide there are so many fun and easy and educational activities we can do together. I'm always for games and activities that are educational, and gets my children interested in things that expand their minds and intelligence. Huge praise to the makers and distributers of this science kit!!!!

It's a great idea and our grandchild loves it. The problem is that the base is too light and easily tips over. Also, the connections of the tubes to the funnels are somewhat loose and slip off too easily. We had to use some 'hacks' to help erase these problems.

Lo recomiendo , trae experimentos interesantes para atraer la curiosidad de los niños. Artículos de buen tamaño y calidad para ser manipulados por niños.

My 4 year old daughter andI love everything and it came with everything as advertised. Even when we aren't doing specifically science things she loves to make magic potions with this. So it's also a great pretend kit. Also the viewscope doesn't work really I've tried adjusting for different things and I can't see anything 99% of the time but reading previous reviews I anticipated this so I bought a microscope in addition to the this kit. I love that it's super easy to clean, the beakers and bottles are big so the kids can grasp it easily. The large tube also has the option of using two types of lids, 1 that prevents any content to escape and 2 others that have multiple holes in them. Came with a lot of cards to try experiments. Looking forward to reading through them. I would highly recommend especially for younger children and easy clean.

早く送ってもらえてクリスマスが楽しみです

Le gustó mucho a mi hijo de 5 años. El estuvo pidiendo un juego de química ⚗️, este lo ví muy completo y buena relación calidad-precio, trae varias experimentos sencillos que ocupan ingredientes que casi siempre tenemos en casa, o fáciles de conseguir.

La calidad es muy buena, trae buenos experimentos, el microscopio es muy sencillo, pero en verdad funciona
