• This fun and informative science kit allows preschool-age kids to get a head start on learning important STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) skills
• Includes 24 large, plastic scientific tools that are durable, reusable, and easy-to-handle to ensure long-lasting fun and exploration.
• A 16-page, full-color manual explains to parents and adult supervisors how the scientific tools in the kit should be presented to their children and provides insight into a child's developmental stages.
• A set of 10 experiment cards are double-sided: one side has illustrated instructions for children to follow; the other side has information for the parent, caregiver, or teacher to read to the child (materials required for the experiment, the scientific concept the experiment addresses, etc.).
• All components of the kit fit neatly in a durable plastic storage case ensuring easy clean-up and transport.
Preschoolers and kindergartners have a natural curiosity to explore and learn about the world around them through experimentation, observation, and play. This kit was developed according to the current educational philosophy of fostering children's inquisitiveness and interests by providing them with tools and open-ended learning experiences to optimally support their development. Experimenting freely with a variety of safe and engaging tools stimulates creativity and the spirit of scientific thinking.
