Stepping into Science is fun for young kids . I recently purchased Stepping into Science for my son who is 5 and just starting kindgergarten homeschool. He just loves to do experiments and anything hands on and after reading the description for this product I thought it would be a good fit for him. He does really enjoy it and it is definitely an introduction to science projects for his age level. There are a lot of small pieces and cardboard and styrofoam so if you have children younger than 4 or 5 you would want to keep this away from them. We work on the experiments when my son's 2 year old sister is napping so she can't get into the kit. There are a lot of experiments and they can be done more than once which is a plus. And there are also explanations for going further on the experiments like making a large sundial from the small one. Overall I would reccomend this to anyone with a preschooler or kindergarten age child who would like to have some fun with science.

Thames & Kosmos Little Labs Stepping into Science Reviews
Mostly great! . My 6-year old daughter loves science, and this is perfect for her! She has great fun with all of the experiments. My only complaint is that a couple of the experiments with the boat didn't work. I think it is just too cheaply made. But the book always gives extra ideas for more fun at the end of each experiment, so you aren't limited by the number of experiments, which is great. Overall, a great find.

Science is FUN! . I bought this to supplement our homeschool curr. It has great hands-on things for the kids, that the kids can actually do! My kids beg me every day to do another one! It comes with a great book that explains exactly what is going on.

A complete waste . A couple huge problems with this kit:
1) The experiments given with this science kit are only mildly interesting at best and flat out dull at worst. Sticking a suction cup to a window? Come on. My son is five and perhaps older kids would be more interested in some of the "so here's what's really happening" aspect, but for a five year old it's just boring. This is bad, but MUCH worse is...
2) Almost nothing you need to complete the experiments is actually included in the kit. The kit will include one lame little piece, say a plastic dish, then have a list of four or five other things you need for the experiment. Completely disappointing.
Scientific Explorer's Mind Blowing Science Kit for Young Scientists is much more fun. It certainly doesn't teach the big picture science topics that this kit supposedly does, but at least the kids won't get bored and the parents won't get frustrated.

Great for Inquisitive Minds . My niece received this science lab as a Christmas present and has been endlessly fascinated with it. What's good is that she is still using it and having fun long after Christmas. Based on her enthusiastic reports, I give this toy a very high mark.
A lot of fun~! . My kids really enjoyed this kit. There are lots of experiments and all 3 enjoyed it. My kids range from 4 to 8.
