This is one of my favorites from the line of several Dunecraft Terrariums.  With this one you get to grow your own collection of feared and famous meat-eating plants! This kit features the infamous Venus Fly Trap. Watch these fascinating plants grow from harmless seeds into vicious bug-eating monsters. Make your own authentic bog with […]

I love most all of the Ein-O Science Kits and this one is no exception. It would be a great toy for any kid just getting interested in insects and plants. There are several educational activities in this one and this is one of the more fun science kits I’ve reviewed so far. With this […]

If you’ve read any of my reviews here about any of the Thames and Kosmos science kits, you’ll know that I think very highly of almost all their kits. While the Little Labs series are of course geared for younger kids - as young as 5 years old - I think they are just as […]

This is one pretty cool science book for kids. Use this if you’re wanting your kids to learn about our digestive system, the respiratory system, the human skeleton and muscle structure, and our neuro system. The coolest thing about this book is the sound chips, fiber optics, see-through pages and some pop-ups that really make […]

It’s reminiscent of the old Ronco Mr. Microphone from the 1970s, but it’s basically a kit that kids put together themselves before getting to strut about saying, “Hey good looking, We’ll be back to pick you up later.” After putting it […]

This is a great kit for kids that might just be getting interested in science. I haven’t tried all the experiments, but there are 25 total in pretty much all the primary fields of science: chemistry, physics, biology, air and water. Not only does this kit make learning for your kids fun, it really introduces […]

Another one of the great physics science kits by Thames and Kosmos, this one deals with solar power and the physics behind how we get energy from the sun. It’s for ages 8 and up and I’ll have to say that that’s about right in this case. I tried out this kit with my six-year-old […]

I love these SmartLab Challenge quiz books. They have one each for 1st through 4th grades and then the Human Body Challenge, and my new favorite, the SmartLab Weird and Gross Challenge. I haven’t tried the Human Body one yet, but I did get the 1st Grade Challenge for my six-year-old and now we’re playing […]
