Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I agree with all the reviews here - the good AND the bad. The set is cheap, chintzy, and NOT worth the money for the materials. The magnifying glass is...well, I wouldn't even call it cheap plastic. Just impossible to see anything through it. The droppers are cheap and I am sure will not hold up to repeated use. The plastic cups are the kind they use to give you 2 pills in the hospital - disposable plastic.
The entire kit is based solely on color mixing using Crayola tub tints! I almost had a fit - I have a jar of 50 of them in the bathroom! Color mixing is all you get here.
That being said - my 4 1/2 year old loved it. Felt like a real scientist with her dropper and what-not. So, was it worth the twenty dollars? Not from a materials stand point. But for watching my daughter learn and discover and become jazzed about experiments even more than she was (if that's possible), then yes, it was worth it.
It was definitely worth Mom learning a lesson on buying good quality materials and borrowing experiment idea books from the library!
