No! All our kits are created with full step by step instructions and diagrams, along with simple science explanations. It has all been created with the child in mind, but if your science is a bit rusty then we’re sure you’ll find it fascinating too!
Find out about all our up to date costings and offers here! Our rolling subscription starts at £24.95 per month with optional extras to add equipment for an extra child. You can also buy just one month or pay for 3,6, or 12 month upfront.
Each box contains almost everything you need to do 3 or 4 experiments. It also contains an exclusive science magazine packed full of extra activities, facts and quizzes!

All the equipment will be referenced throughout your subscription however everything can be substituted for things you should be able to find in your kitchen.
We strongly recommend googles for some of our experiments but swimming googles are a good substitute.
Yes! They are all safe, however things can always go wrong no matter how safe they are! Always follow the health and safety instructions found in each box.
The European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) has compiled a special list of substances that are allowed in children’s chemistry sets (EN 71-4). We only use substances from this list and we have identified the safest way to carry out all our practicals.
All experiments come with detailed step by step guides and diagrams to ensure that each experiment is carried out safely.

You may like to buy our starter pack. It contains your very own mini lab with goggles, beakers, pipettes and much more. Without this you will need to provide some extra household items such as swimming goggles when eye protection is necessary and drinking glasses to use instead of beakers, etc.
Our boxes are designed especially for children between the ages of 6 and 11. The activities are accessible for this whole age range but depending on your own child’s ability they may need more or less assistance. It is important that all instructions are read and followed very carefully and we often recommend an adult oversee some experiments. Some activities are designed so the child can get on by them selves completely, but if your child is at the younger end of the age range they may need more assistance.
No. We wanted the freedom for our kits to contain a variety of science activities and experiments when we feel it is relevant or topical. There are always cross-links with what is done at school but we like to offer your child that little bit extra.
Yes we have a variety of gift options available. starting at 3 months. See all our gift options here.
