Steve's Birthday Party Science Kit

Great Party Kit... But...

This user gave 4/5 stars

So we just used this kit for my daughter's 6th b'day party. Over all, everything was great, however there are a few things I wish were better.
1.) The instructions weren't always very clear. Also, in some cases when it recommends using the ENTIRE contents (water jelly crystals and glow powder) it turns out to be way too much and could have achieved better results by only using a smaller portion of what is provided. I'm waiting for an entire tub of this stuff to dehydrate for future use!
2.) The slime kit lids were too flimsy and caused many leaks and a bigger mess.
3.) The slime ingredientsinstructions did not create slime, rather a hard blob in colored liquid that would break apart instead of stretch as you would expect slime to do.
4.) I wish the kit also included disposable lab coats for participants along with measuring tools.
5.) the Geyser tubes didn't all work properly, 23 malfunctioned with mentos getting stuck.
Aside from these issues, the participants all really had fun and enjoyed learning and making ooey gooey stuff. I particularly appreciated the scientific explanations that were also included in the instructions.

Hedyeh -
Thank you so much for the extensive review. We are glad that, overall, you enjoyed the kit very much. I want to assure you that the issues you had are to be taken into consideration. Again, thank you very much.

Made my party a huge hit

This user gave 5/5 stars

I purchased the Steve Spangler science kit for my kids birthday a party. To say the party was a hit would be an understatement. The kids loved the instant snow powder and also the glow the dark water absorbing crystals. In fact it wasn't just the kids, even the adults at the party were excited about it. The kit provided the kids an opportunity to get down and dirty with science. All in all great times were had by everyone at the party.

Ever since my son saw Steve on the Ellen Show forever ago he has been insistent that his next birthday be MAD SCIENTIST! I just ordered my supplies from your website and know his 6th birthday will be wacky, yucky, and memorable.

Best party ever!

The instructions were easy and the experiments were fun. My now six year old and his friends have been talking about it all week. The laughter as the insta-snow expanded in their hands was priceless and the mentos geyser was great fun. They loved it all and the kit made it easy to plan.
Plus,the pictures of kids in safety goggles are priceless!

Best Party Ever

I recently purchased the Yuck Bucket and a few other experiments from your website. This was all done for my son's 11th birthday party, he is a true science lover. I had a group of 6 boys ages 10 to 11 on Saturday to my house for this science party. All the boys had great fun with the experiments. This was said to be the best party the boys had ever been to. I have told several people of your company in the last few days. What, who knew science could be such fun? I won the award of greatest Mom. So I must give credit where credit is due and that is to Steve and his crew. Thanks!!! Sincerely, Erin Gaver

Best Birthday Party EVER!!!!!!

My 12 year old daughter can't stop smiling and saying, "This was the BEST birthday party EVER!" The lucky 14 other kids said the same thing. We did several of the projects in the kit and even had a few to send home in gift bags as a bonus. Steve actually showed up as a surprize and we exploded stuff in the front yard! It was AWESOME! If you want to be "the best parent ever" plan on Steve's Party in a box for your next party!!!
