Reviews of Be Amazing Toys Big Bag Of Science

Customer Ratings:

My daughter and I started the experiments from #1 and had a good time with 1-3. It would've helped to have an illustrated list of equipment, though, as I wasn't sure what some items called for were at first. #4 stopped us, though, as the instructions aren't clear. It begins saying "After the Coloring Tablets quit fizzing" even though the list of items called for on this equipment do not include the Coloring Tablets, so I'm not sure how that plays in. Then it asks you to "...pull the bag of Superabsorbent Crystals out of your Baby Soda Bottle." Umm, what is this "Baby Soda Bottle"? I can find the bag of crystals, I just can't find anything labeled as a "Baby Soda Bottle, nor is it listed in the 'From the Kit' item list." Then it asks you to pour crystals into the 2oz plastic cups... okay, fine... but the next line says something about them soaking up the water. What water? How much? As a science experiment, I shouldn't be guessing on measurements, I should have clearer direction to ensure the intended results. If you want to teach kids how to do science correctly, the kit itself needs to do it correctly.

We bought this for our 7 year old girl who loves science. We haven't done more than 3 experiments because she has had a blast with the gooey balls that grow in water. She has been drying them out and re-hydrating them for weeks. But is is VERY messy. If you are OCD about mess do not get this kit or just do it outside. The slime is difficult to clean up and you're not suppose to get it in your drains. The test tubes are high quality, very thick plastic. Ours have been dropped on the tile floor at least 5 times and not a crack.

Received this as a gift from out of town family and it was still in it's original sealed packaging but we were missing some of the key ingredients to some of the very first experiments which was very disappointing for our 8 & 5 year olds who were eager to try it out. We were able to do some of the experiments, but found that the instructions didn't match up exactly with the labels on some of the ingredient packaging so it was a little confusing and frustrating for us, and good test of our children's patience. There were no illustrations in the directions to help verify what you're doing is correct, or that you have the correct parts, and/or ingredients. You may want to buy locally and open/inventory & review directions and parts before giving as a gift to your child or someone else, or buy through Amazon to insure easy return in either case.

Honest reviews on Be Amazing Toys Big Bag Of Science

Just like the package says, it really does make over 70 experiments. Most ingredients come with the kit, but some, like 2L Coke, baking soda, etc can be picked up easily at the store. My son loves science and has really enjoyed doing this! Warningsome experiments can be messy, but so worth the fun!

While this kit offers a lot for kids to do and helps make science fun it is an instruction nightmare for parents. First of all this kit did not come with ANY instructions at all! We unpacked it to find nothing written at all. Not even a sheet of paper stating to go online to download instructions. We had to google the name of the kit and the word 'instructions' to realize the they were available on the manufacturers site as a downloadable PDF and 33 pages later we printed everything out to get started only to discover the instructions are poorly written. Also, once you print out the instructions and read them there are no images or drawings to tell you what the items included are. Some young scientists might know what a pipette is but we didn't and had to look it up. They you different names in the different experiments for the same items such as "White Plastic Mixing Tray" in Exp #3 and then they call it "White Color Mixing Tray" in exp #5. This causes so much confusion and pausing to figure out what they are talking about. All of the bags were not clearly labeled either. This needs some serious consideration and a total re-write. If this is an educational toy this company needs a team of educators to assist in the writing. It was a bummer for the kids to not understand how to use everything in the kit and for the adults assisting to be forced to do so much online searching. We started googling the ingredients with the word science experiment to figure out projects on our own. Beware you can get this kit but you will be spending a lot of time figuring out projects on your own. We had a good time but it took hours longer then it should have.
