  • Excellent Science Kit
Style: Erupting Volcanoes
I bought this kit for my daughter's 10th birthday. She's above average in intelligence, and she thoroughly enjoyed this kit. I think the age range on this product is appropriate. It's simple enough for younger kids to do with help, and has enough of a "wow" factor for older kids to enjoy. The kit comes with a guide, which walks kids through several learning activities and experiments. The first activities are simple (reading volcano and earth science facts, and matching description stickers to the headers in the booklet) but effective. We did these on the first day, learning our background material and finishing up by painting our volcano. The volcano is a thin, black plastic cone with rivulets molded into it, that you can paint to look like a volcano. There is a cheap water-based paint palette included for this. My daughter half-heartedly spent 15 minutes on this, and told me it was too tedious. Children who are more artistically-inclined would probably enjoy this part more than she did. The next day, once the paint was dry, we were ready to make our volcano erupt. You'll need to supply water, baking soda, vinegar, baking powder, and lemon juice to do all the variations. From this point on, the experiments are all about acids and bases. I appreciated the fact that the child is invited to use trial and error to determine which proportions of baking soda, vinegar, and water produce the best results. My daughter enjoyed wearing the safety goggles and using the test tubes, pipette, and measuring cups to make chemical reactions (just like a real scientist), and recording her results in the lab booklet. We got some good reactions--nothing too crazy, we didn't need a mop but we did need to put down some paper towels quickly. If your kiddoes are just looking for dramatic, foamy explosions, this kit is probably way too low-key. We learned a little about volcanoes, a little about pH, and spent a couple of cool "unplugged" hours together. All in all, definitely worth the money. I plan to buy other kits in this series. ... show more

  • Awesome science fun for mom & kids (and not blue! Or pink!!)
Style: Erupting Volcanoes
This is my first review, inspired by how much my daughter and I loved this kit. She's 4, so she definitely needed my help, but she was totally into the whole thing, and loved the experiments. I am so happy to have found something awesome and science-y that is not gendered. Why is this something that seems so rare??? My daughter already wants six other Magic Schoolbus science kits, and I am buying this for any and all upcoming birthday parties. I hate how hard it is to find something smart and not too pink/sparkly/girly that I can feel good about giving to her friends for their birthdays. ... show more

  • Very fun and educational
Style: Erupting Volcanoes
The description mentions light bulbs, buzzers, and circuit boards--ignore that, as none of these items have anything to do with this kit. My 6 year old, who had no previous interest in volcanoes, has really enjoyed this kit over the past week. We are also reading the Magic School Bus chapter book "Voyage to the Volcano" and the two items go very well together. We home-school, so I'm supplementing this kit with extra activities from my own ideas and other non-fiction books and websites in order to create a fun "extra credit" science unit. She's excited, we're both learning, and I was OK with the price of this item. So far it's got 5 stars. It loses half a star because of false advertising. It really bothers me when products like this have embellished marketing pictures/descriptions. The differences between the picture and the actual contents are subtle, but it still bothers me. The paintbrush is not longer than the paint box, the pipette is shaped differently than pictured, the volcano form is shipped in a flattened state and is thus not the same shape as pictured, and the second test tube (pictured inside the volcano form) is the same size as the test tube pictured in the rack--much smaller than the "crater" of the volcano form. It loses another half star for the little details that aren't quite right. The pipette doesn't work at all. The red food dye provided is powdered but instructions refer to "drops of food coloring". The provided paints are ineffective for painting the volcano form. The goggles are unnecessary. The instructions provided do not produce a very impressive "eruption". The product is very durable and we really like the poster and activity guide. When we're done with the kit I'll pack it back up and keep it for when the other kids are ready for it (the consumables are easy and cheap to replace). For a 6 year old, it's good exposure to many volcano-related topics, but fully understanding most of the details is beyond her interest at this time (when she's a bit older, the details may be more interesting, but the activities would likely be too boring). We are both excited to try more Magic School Bus kits/books. I estimate that this time through we'll get about 5 hours of use from this kit, 75% of it with one-on-one adult supervision. I am inspired to try the acids and bases kit, since the volcano eruption activities (which account for 4 of the 12 activities) are more chemistry than volcanology. ... show more

  • Awesome - plus quick fix for flat volcano!
Style: Erupting Volcanoes
Our son loves this! Some may get discouraged since the volcano arrives flat because the way it is shipped in the box. Here is the quick fix, which we learned from forming many a sports mouthpiece over the years: 1) Get two large pots (both large enough to fit expanded volcano inside); 2) Fill each with enough water to cover entire volcano; 3) Heat one pot to close to a boil, the other pot should be filled with cold water; 4) Remove hot pot from heat and dip volcano in hot water for 10 seconds; 5) Remove volcano from hot water (use tongs if you have them) and place on counter; 6) Immediately mold into circular form by rotating two hands around the sides (careful it's a little hot at this point); 7) After molding for a few seconds (like 5) dip into cold pot for 10 - 15 seconds to hold the form. 8) Remove from cold water - and it should look like a round volcano! 9) You may have to repeat the steps a few times - we did (but only because we tend to be perfectionists :-) Hope this all helps! Happy Holidays folks! ... show more

  • Awesome! 5 stars
Style: Erupting Volcanoes
I bought this thinking it would just be another kitchen science volcano kit and I bought it solely because if was the 'amazon choice' volcano kit. This is a great learning kit and so much more then just the volcano kit. It has a good few experiments to do and its just really will put together for both the kids and the adult who needs to explain things to the kids - Its like a teacher in a box - would highly recommenced this one!!!!!! ... show more

  • Cheap and flimsy.
Style: Erupting Volcanoes
Volcano cheap flimsy thin piece of plastic. No instructions for big Volcano. To know how much. I was doing with a 5 and 6 year old . Some of the stuff would work better with older kids and that was Why I gave 3 stars for them but took 2 stars away for the things I mentioned.

  • 5 year old loved this
Style: Erupting Volcanoes
This has provided much entertainment to my 5 year old son. We like that everything is reusable, all you have to do is provide ingredients (baking soda, vinegar, dish soap, warm water, and food coloring). The test tubes and holder made him feel like be was really conducting experiments. Only thing I could say it was lacking is paint for painting the volcano but we have tons of paint so it didn't effect us too much and the safety glasses they provide were too small. ... show more
