Harry & Meghan: The Wedding Paper Dolls

Discovery Extreme Chemistry Kit for Kids

Discovery Extreme Chemistry Kit for KidsLet’s face it…kids these days spend too much time in front of a TV, video game console, smartphone or computer. Children are NOT spending enough time playing outdoors or when they’re indoors…they’re not doing the educational things that they need to do. As parents and grandparents we need to change all of that!!! We need to spend the time and money to make learning FUN again…even at home!

We received the Discovery Extreme Chemistry Kit to review for all of you. This kit is made for children ages 12 years and up. According to the instructions the set up time is 10 minutes. The kit helps children with their STEM (science, engineering, math and technology).

Discovery Extreme Chemistry Kit for Kids

With this kit you can conduct 40 experiments: Create crystal sculptures, do color-changing experiments, create glowing ectoplasmic slime, make creepy worms, create fizzing eruptions, ice melting experiments, collapsing foam, hot ice, a humidity test and more!

The Extreme Chemistry Kit Includes:

Calcium Chloride, Sodium Alginate, Baking Soda, Sodium Tetraborate, Litmus Powder, Tartaric Acid, Zinc Sulfide, Glue Tube, Fuzzy Stick, Black Light Pen, Plastic Cup, Plastic Spoon, Pipette, Plastic Test Tubes, Mixing Sticks, Poster and an instructional sheet.

My husband sat down with our 9 1/2 year old granddaughter to work on some of the science experiments in the kit. All of the instructions for each project are laid out in a way that is easy-to-understand. The Princess would read everything out loud and then we observed and/or assisted her with the project. As we worked on projects she learned the names of different science equipment items and we would quiz her several times to make sure she was retaining what she was learning.

We spent 2 1/2 hours that afternoon working our way through some of the projects. Her favorite project so far was the “Make Your Own Worms” with “Foam it Up!” a close second. The kit is recommended for children ages 12 and up…she’s 9 1/2 and was quite capable of doing the projects with our assistance.

There are 40 experiments you can do with this one kit and so far we’ve completed about ten. This is one science chemistry kit that will keep your kids busy for weeks on end. It puts the fun back into learning and something they can do at home with adult supervision. What a great gift to give!

Mattel relaunched Polly Pocket this year with a new product line accompanied by an animated series to introduce a new generation to the world of Polly. The series follows Polly and her friends as they embrace big adventures in a shrunken size, thanks to Polly’s magic locket. Polly Pocket continues to inspire girls to be capable, courageous and tenacious in their own lives, just like her.

About the King of Prussia Mall: The mall features over 400+ stores, including Nordstrom, Macy’s, Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale’s, Lord & Taylor and more! If you’re unfamiliar with the area, you’ll find the mall located at 160 N. Gulph Road in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406. You’ll find plenty of parking and restaurants on the property and nearby. King of Prussia is located outside of the Philadelphia area and is easy to get to my several major routes that run through the area.

During the holidays I like to “stuff” a large gift bag with goodies for each of my grandchildren instead of using a holiday stocking. The reason I use a gift bag is because their parents do the Christmas stocking, so I wanted to do something
