Bought this kit for my 6 yr old daughter who just started kindergarten (home school). I was looking for a fun & easy yet educational science kit so we could do some experiments. She absolutely loves this kit! We spent time learning what each piece of equipment was first, then we did the first experiment which was using primary colors to make secondary colors. Love the experiments which are on large laminated cards. Easy to understand, fun to do, and most everything needed you already have on hand. I definitely recommend this to anyone with a pre-school or kindergarten aged child who wants to have fun while learning science!

My 3 year old loves this set. It is sturdy, and chunky and easy to use. It is definitely the best science kit for the PreK age group I have seen. I love that it comes with brightly colored laminated project cards.
The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that are a few flaws.
1) The test tube lid is not leak proof. Which is usually not a problem but can be with vigorous shaking and/or if you feel the test tube to the very top.
2) None of the 10 projects use the flask. This may seem like a small complaint but my daughter is a rule follower and she is sad that none of the experiments direct her to use it.
3) Some of the projects include steps that are impossible. For example, it will tell you to use the tweezers to remove something from the test tube, but the tweezers do not fit in the test tube.
These flaws, notwithstanding, I do love the set and would recommend it.

I bought this for my son for a Christmas gift. He is 6 and wants to be a scientist. We have purchased other experiment sets before but they are a little hard to work with because you need to get cups out to hold things in place. This set is nice and oversized with stands to hold everything. It comes with large cards with nice easy to follow experiments written on them. This set is an A+.

This toy is a bunch of small items packaged together. The experiments could be done without most of these items. And, I also feel that they could have thrown in bunch of basic stuff (color powders for example) to get the experiments going. Overall my daughter liked the setup but that's pretty much about it. In summary, you could teach most of the same concepts with regular household utensils; this toy just bring in the "feeling" of doing a science experiment.

We have 5 little kids and they can all enjoy this on there own. The oldest will get the ingredients and supplies, everyone can help down to the 2 1/2 year olds. We have loved it. The pieces are much bigger than we pictured, but great for little hands. Experiment cards are as big as a piece of standard paper and laminated. Box is sturdy for storage. Magnifying glass has dropped multiple times and is still in great shape. There is also science content listed on each card, nice bonus. You will just need patience and paper towels!

My 4 year old son loves this. He keeps asking to play with this. You will need to buy the extra ingredients before play with this(food coloring, raisins, etc).

My four-year-old loves doing experiments with this kit, and also uses the pieces for imaginative play. The pieces are nice and chubby so they're easy for little hands to grasp, and the experiment instructions are clear and straightforward. The tweezers are the only part of the kit I'm not happy with, as they are a bit hard to pinch with and frustrating to use. We've done almost all the experiments that were included. My son's favourite is the "volcano" and the colour mixing. You don't really need the equipment here to do these kinds of experiments, but the beaker and test tubes act as props to make the whole experience more fun and I appreciated having a plan to follow, not being a lab nerd myself!

Great for the budding scientist
My five year old granddaughter loves it and can spend hours creating formulas. The fact that only safe household items are used makes mom feel safer.
