Warning - Choking Hazard

Growing Alligator

My 2 YO daughter inherited her parents love of science. She traced the small alligator, put it in the water, and asked about its growth every day for 3 days. We traced it again and talked about the science...she can now say 'hydrophobic' and 'hydrophilic'. It's pretty adorable. She also now carries the alligator all around and tells how he grew and shrank. This taught her new vocab, measuring, observing, patience, etc. LOVE IT!!

Test Tubes are the best tubes

We bought several of these for our science fair to give out as prizes. They are perfect! We have six different prizes of Steve's most fun science toys and experiments. Each test tube has enough product to do the experiment at least three times. Super cute packaging!

Great way to introduce kids to science!

I used these to hold down balloons at a 4-H awards banquet. These were used as door prizes. The kids loved them and were trading other kids tubes they wanted more.

Awesome for homeschooling!

The last thing we had a ball playing with were the test tubes full of growing polymer experiments. From color changing beads to growing orbs, to a tiny alligater that GROWS! All with instructions and explanations and ideas for how to chart your 'projects'. Was my little boy in Heaven?? OH YEAH.
