I got this for my 4yr old daughter since she was learning about rainbows at her school. This is our second Magic School Bus Science Experiment Kit and she and I both love them. There is plenty of information for children within this particular kit for ages 4 up to 9 or 10? The kit itself is nice; but in comparing it to the other Magic School Bus kit on experimenting with germs, this one gets second place. The experiments in this particular kit are nice but I dont think they capture the child's attention as the other did. Some experiments are very short and not requiring much to do them. But, they are still good experiments and any child would enjoy participating in them. If you hadnt tried the other Magic School Bus kits then you would find this terrific. The kit is well made; quality accessories and the booklet that comes with it is just as informative as the Magic School Bus books themselves. Each book allows the child to form a hypothesis and keep a brief journal with space to write inside. Be sure to check them all out. We are glad we got this one.

I bought this for my 4 year-old daughter who is obsessed with everything Magic School Bus as well as rainbows - seemed like a perfect combination. It was a disaster. Nothing worked well: the colored transparent plates didn't really combine well to make a new color, the flashlight died after 1 minute (really the bulb burned out before she could even use it), the "food coloring" is a horrible powder that gets everywhere, stains everything, and we never could get into a liquid enough form to be usable. There were no interesting experiments. I could come up with more interesting things that kids could do with colored sand (try adding store-bought food coloring to sand and mix it up) and cheap plastic colored film. I'm now hesitant to buy any of the other Magic School Bus Science Kits. This one is going in the trash even though I just bought it yesterday.

As I shop for more science kits this christmas, I just had to add a review for this kit when I saw someone gave it a 1 star. We gave this one to my then 5 yr old daughter 2 Christmases ago. She was fasinated with rainbows and colors, so it was a perfect fit. She loved it and even extended what she learned into her science fair project where she learned all about cameras and trying to take pictures of the spinning disks (shutter speed). Give it a try if you buy this kit. She especially loved making the colored disks and spinning them. The best was all the lopsided disks she made and she would try to predict all the colors of the rings. All of the experiments were educational on light spectrums. It was so much fun for her and is great for that say 4-6 yr old. As for durability, it's fine. It definitely holds up for repeating the experiments several times. For the price the quality is as expected.
