Who it suits
This kit is aimed at kids aged 8-12 who enjoy hands-on learning and are drawn to unusual or gross-themed activities. It works well for children interested in chemistry and how things work. It may not appeal to kids who prefer quieter activities or have no interest in messy projects, and it requires some adult involvement for younger end of the age range.
