In our opinion, Thames & Kosmos make the best science kits for children: they are the perfect way to encourage your children to develop a true love of learning. Stepping Into Science is a fantastic introduction to experiments and scientific principles in a thoroughly accessible, colourful, fun and hands-on way. There are 25 experiments to try in five key areas: nature, physics, chemistry, air, and water. The experiments include building a soap-driven boat, watching how seeds grow in different conditions, mixing colours, watching a balloon self-inflate and building a barometer. The brilliant 48-page accompanying booklet not only details the experiments step-by-step but also contains lots of interesting facts and thought-provoking questions. Highly recommended.

Steppingintoscience
My great grandson was thrilled with this present

Lovely Gift
My grandchild had a great time with the science kit

Science kit
My 5 & 7 year olds love the experiments. They are simple enough though more suited to ages 7+ I’d say. There are loads and loads of fun tasks to do and each is short and simple but leads onto others if you want to extend the learning.

Great start to experiment
Bought for grandson in Australia he enjoys building and experimenting so I am sure this will be perfect present
Quick Delivery
Bought two items for my grand daughters. The puppy dogs and numerous hair Bands Excellent value and quick deliverY.
