Capitalizing on the public’s fascination with forensic investigative techniques, this brand-new kit provides kids with the tools they need to solve household mysteries. With the detective tool kit, children can use fingerprints to determine who drank that last glass of orange juice, or work with hair samples to figure out if someone’s been snooping in their secret hiding place. Using the science of forensics, they will discover how to find and interpret seemingly ordinary clues around them. The kit includes a 32-page illustrated full-color book, innovative facial identification kit, fingerprint pad, ink stamp, brush and powder, clue containers, evidence bags, labels, chromatography paper for ink analysis, and magnifying glass.

Great set,

This review is from: Detective Tool Kit (Action Books) (Paperback)
I purchased this to use with the forensic theme I use with gifted students I work with. It contains some excellent tools. The children especially enjoyed using the wide selection of facial attributes to put together composites of our "suspects" as well as various members of our school. Fingerprinting and chromatography were also informative and enjoyable activities. This is an excellent kit for schools, clubs, as well as for individual children at home. I admit I was skeptical about purchasing this one online but I am very happy that I did so.

My daughter is 12 and loved this kit. She liked the recreation of the criminal's face-it's like being a real CSI agent! She started investigating right away. This kit comes complete with fingerprint kits to magnifying glass to clue bags. I thought it was well made and worth the money.

Lots of fun for our nine year old. She plays with it alone and with a freind. Always looking for a crime to solve. Promotes creativity. Some of the tools (magnifying glass) we thought were a little "cheap" but it never bothered her. Face pictures very realistic and good quality.
