\"Magic<\/p>\n

Product Reviewed<\/strong>: Magic Science for Wizards Only science \/ chemistry kit by Scientific Explorer<\/p>\n

Age Range<\/strong>: labelled for 6+ year olds (however I think it could be suitable for keen 4+ year olds, with a lot of assistance).<\/p>\n

Star Rating<\/strong>: 3 \/ 5 stars<\/p>\n

The Good<\/strong>: Fun and easy introduction to some impressive fizzy and colour changing chemistry experiments that kids love. Includes enough supplies for each experiment to be repeated at least twice (and in some cases, dozens of times). Includes test tubes with lids and handy stand that can be reused for future science projects.<\/p>\n

The Bad<\/strong>: Doesn’t deliver on all the ‘magic’ as promised by the packaging.<\/p>\n

The Verdict<\/strong>: This would make a fun science-oriented gift for girls or boys that encourages an interest in chemistry.<\/p>\n
