We bought this for a 12 year-old girl's birthday gift. She is rather a tom-boy, very bright, and loves to be goofy. This gift was the hit of the party! Just a caution- the cover has a drawing of part of a kid's bottom; this might be offensive to some parents, but our birthday girl and her parents thought it was funny. It isn't anything really gross, but very conservative folks might be offended. On the other hand, look what this item is called.

My 9 year old granddaughter liked this ok, but it was extremely unimpressive. She is a gifted and very bright creative thinker who loves to play gags. Most of the items were basic household stuff, ie; to make the fake vomit you pour elmers glue (provided) onto a piece of plastic wrap and scoop (with a very small & hard to use measuring "spoon") what appears to be catfood (provided) onto the glue--then leave it to dry. It took almost 3 days to dry! She had fun with it for a few hours, and hasn't really used it since. She did ask for help to research (online) on how to make more gags & practical jokes though. Smart girl!

There really isn't much of any scientific educational merit either.

Don't buy this.

This was a gift for my grandson. He and his father have done some of the things and enjoyed it.
