Crayola continues to be the brand parents know they can count on and they delivered yet again with the Color Chemistry Lab Set. The packaging features their trademark bright colors, is easy to open and well organized so the items can be stored in the original container. The experiment booklet has easy to follow instructions and illustrations to help direct your child through the various experiments. There is a nice variety of experiments, each with varying levels of difficulty and time requirements. Some favorites include an exciting erupting volcano, making your own cool glow worms, and a water bottle tornado. Many of the experiments build upon one another or are a variation of another allowing for additional exploration and further develop your young chemist’s critical thinking skills by utilizing STEAM technology processes. In true Crayola fashion, the dyes used for the experiments are washable, but parents recommend they be done either outside or in an area where it is easy to clean up spills. There are plenty of supplies included so at least 16 different experiments can be completed. Extra everyday household supplies are also listed in many of the experiments. This will stimulate both the scientific and imaginative centers of the brain and parents felt the very reasonable price tag of $24.99 made the decision to get a set for a gift would be easy.
