All the pieces included in the kit are made very well out of a hard plastic which seem perfectly safe and durable for small kids. The test tubes include a stand which helps to avoid messes and makes it easier to see your scientific discoveries! I really liked the size of all the instruments. They are very chunky which makes it easy for little hands to use, but they still work very well.
The 10 activity cards are large, plastic coated, colorful cards. Some of the activities include mixing primary food colors, cleaning pennies with lemon juice acid, sink vs. float, even a mini-volcano! The cards show a clear picture of the tools that will be necessary as well as specific directions for the activity. A non-reader could easily use the cards to gather all the necessary items, while an adult or older child reads the directions. Its actually a great toy to enlist the help of an older child with your toddler. The directions are easy to follow and some of the activities would be fun for older kids, too. My daughter had a couple of "helpers" in her experiments:
The Primary Science Kit is a fun learning toy that should definitely keep your child's interest! Many "younger" versions of toys end up being difficult to use or break very quickly. That is definitely not the case with this set. Its very usable for younger kids, yet includes everything you would need to conduct an actual experiment and learn about science. You can use the included activity cards or just play around with the kit to make your own discoveries and concoctions!
