Science 4 You - DOM Yucky Science, Childrens STEM Educational Science kit for Kids Aged 8+, Multi-Colour

Gift for one of my nieces. opened and enjoyed within minutes of being received.certainly yucky. 5 stars

Would you like see you 8-10 year olds playing in practical, educational pursuits rather than spending time in front of digital screens, but are having difficulty explaining to them the concept of Quantum Entanglement? This is the perfect gift to wean them from the virtual to the actual, and is so fun they will barely realise that they are learning science... win/win!But seriously; this is a hugely enjoyable kit for kids, not just containing and informing but encouraging investigation into those aspects so beloved of young kids, i.e. the more gross aspects - snot, bogies, poop, vomit and yes, that old favourite, noxious flatulent vapours (i.e. farts). Just talking about this stuff sends many kids into fits of giggles, to be indulged to the extent they can create their own replicas of these things just brings it all to a whole new level.Of course there is more to it than gross kid's humour; all the "experiments" are based in real science, and the accompanying illustrated thirty-six page booklet is replete with the scientific lowdown on its collection of twelve experiments specifically designed to utilise the non-toxic substances contained in the kit.The contents of the brightly coloured - one might even say garish - box, are: brain mould, eye mould, bowl, measuring cups, spatulas, pipette, plastic eyes, green food colouring, gelatine, cornflour, psyllium, the charmingly named "fart putty" and the 36-page booklet. The kids can be experimenting with Non-Newtonion Fluid Motion right out of the box (seriously - that's what the cornflower is for)!The "Brain Activator" logo displayed on the box indicates that it is considered to be of help in developing innate skills and creativity with it's combination of play and learning, and "STEM" is an acronym of "Science, Technology Education & Mathematics.One factor that mildly irked me was the overly large box - presumably on the basis bigger is better in the consumer's eyes - which simply left one mildly disappointed to find the contents sparsely strewn about, giving the impression there's really not much there. It's a decent kit, such tricks are unnecessary and it actually does it a disservice - not to mention the waste of materials involved.Nonetheless, this is something a little different for the kids, something to get them learning new things and perhaps inspiring them with new questions. At the very least it can keep them happily occupied in practical (rather than virtual/digital) pursuits for hours at a time.

Kids love gross stuff.This science kit teaches the step by step ways to create goo and snot etc.May keep a little one quiet on a rainy day.Just make sure they clean up afterwards

Great for kids who like to get yucky and mucky!Several fun experiments. Make sure there's adult supervision, it's a little too complicated for kids to use on their own.Great value for money. Would make a great Xmas gift.

Really good way to get the kids of their tablets and do some actual activites this is great and really affordable. Would make great giftsThe box includes 18 items and 12 experiments you can do36 page educational bookBrain and eye mouldsSmall and large measuring cupsWooden and plastic spatulas, Pasteur pipettePlastic eyesGreen food colouring, gelatine and conrflourPsyllium fart puttyWould deffiently keep the kids entertained

This is just what my nephew been after and he loves it, however the box was slightly damaged. Very good starter kit for an 8-year old. Good source educational resources and allows him to stays clear from his other electric devices. Easy to follow instructions. Excellent birthday and Christmas gift and recommended.

If your kids like things gross etc then this will be a lot of fun for them. During a recent bad weather spell and with the kids indoors we opened this up and they had such fun, its fun and educational at the same time.

Lots of fun to be had here for budding mad scientists.The educational aims are worthy but the real joy is theopportunity for kids to create something truly revolting!For youngsters 8+ but the more exuberant childmight require a bit of judicious adult supervision.The nieces absolutely love it!
