NEW 2023 Advent Calendar SHOCKING SCIENCE by The Purple Cow. 24 Jaw-dropping Science Tricks for Kids aged 8 and above. The perfect S.T.E.M gift!

This was not only fun, but it was something we were able to do with our 9 year old daughter. She could do many of them without much help, but there were some that she needed assistance, but the best part was seeing her enthusiasm for opening and creating the next day’s “project.” It states everything you need is included, but there are a few things 99.9% of households will have on hand that are not included. The instruction book was clear and easy to follow and not flimsy, like the box that held each day. This was bothersome because they are all loose and easily spilled, which is not a deal breaker- you could easily find a way to present each day rather than it being so sloppy as we like to have the calendars be part of the decorations. The other downside, is having the instructional book have everyday in there. You have to make sure they do not see days they have not done and hide the book if you have kids that like to peek. It just diminishes the element of surprise. Little annoyances, but easily fixed and this may not be a problem for others. Overall, this is definitely worth it, it is a lot of fun and different than standard calendars. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved doing these with my kids last year for Christmas. I'm a scientist and getting them involved with Science was so much fun!

So well received by my 9 yr old grandson. He looked forward to andcompleted each and every activity, then sent me photos . It was so fun! The puzzles are challenging but not frustrating.

This brand is fantastic, right down to the details. I was wary these would be a repeat of most science kits (half abandoned birthday toys) but actually it’s creative and engaging, not simply things to mix together but interesting activities that keep my 9y old excited for the days to come. You can’t go wrong with any of the advents in this brand, excellent product!

Aside from a couple experiments not working out (could have been our error) this was a really fun advent for my kid and I to do together over the month of December. They did well explaining why the experiments happen as well which is nice, and my child had a lot of fun doing the experiments and seeing the end results I hope they come out with a new one in 2023 with new experiments because I'd do it again..
