Science Kits for Kids

Experiments Kids Can Get Their Hands On

Want to keep your budding scientist fulfilled during summer break? Looking for a hands-on way to entertain your child without resorting to screens? If you have a child who loves to experiment, let them explore basic science concepts like chemistry, geology, and physics with these kits made just for kids.

Science Lab: This kit comes with everything kids need for 17 different experiments. Learn about density, electricity, and more thanks to these fun and appealing projects. With abundant supplies like test tubes and ingredients, kids can do as little or as much as they like at a time.

Squishy Balls: Let kids use science to create their own toys with this playful kit. It comes with enough supplies to make three squishy balls from balloons. Mix the ingredients to make a squeezable filling perfect for stress relief or sensory fun. Kids can put practical science knowledge to use in this hands-on project with real results.

Chemistry Lab: From acids to bases, kids can explore the periodic table and more thanks to this kit designed with them in mind. It includes supplies for 15 experiments. A plastic stand holds all the equipment needed to watch experiments evolve, and brings the feeling of a real lab home for kids. They can also record results in the included notebook.

Volcanos: Kids get to make things explode with this foray into geology. They start by crafting their own volcano using the plaster and mold provided with the kit. Then, add the components together and watch the volcano erupt. The box comes with enough crystals for multiple explosions, or you can opt for the deluxe set, which includes popping crystals to add sound to the mix.

Crystals: Kids can grow their own unique crystal garden with this project. It comes with felt pieces in various botanical shapes, like leaves, trees, and grass. Kids place the pieces in the plastic grid, then choose which dyes to color them. Once they finish with the design aspect, mix the crystal solution and add it. Then sit back and watch the magic happen. Over a day or two, the crystals will grow and expand, taking on the colors applied. It makes a great display piece that really brings science to life.

Soap Lab: This kit provides hours of squeaky clean fun. Kids can make multiple bars of soap, and even fancy shapes thanks to the various plastic molds included. They may need some supervision to use the microwave to melt ingredients, but overall older kids will have no issues following the instructions themselves. Kids choose the colors to create their own soap using the science of chemical reactions.
