Got a future Einstein on your hands? Check out these science gifts for kids
Fortunately, science gifts for kids have come a long way since the microscope. While still pretty cook, microscopes aren't likely to catch kids' attention the way they once did. After all, with so many cool science gifts out there, who wants to mess around with a bunch of slides?
If you're on the hunt for science gift ideas this Christmas, look no further: here are the best of the cool science gifts kids really love.
1. Spa Science Kit
Give science Christmas gifts that don't feel like homework. Find girly perfection in the Spa Science Kit. Young girls mix their own formulas and create luxurious skin and bath products. All the while she explores chemical compositions and the affect of scent on mood and body.
2. Make Your Own Chewing Gum Kit
Kids love to craft, and kids love treats -- so these chewing gum kits make perfect science gift ideas. Kids learn how to make chewing gum, where it comes from, and what gives it its unique properties -- and chomp on the results when finished. Try that with sulfuric acid.
3. Crystal Caves
One of the problems with science gifts for kids is that they can only be used once. Not so with these Crystal Caves: after you watch the crystals grow, flip the cave over, let the crystal dissolve, and start all over again.
4. Marshmallow Shooter
OK, a gun might not top your list of science gifts for kids -- but who could resist the opportunity to shoot air compressed guns full of marshmallows, especially when they come with optional laser sights? No kid can resist these science Christmas gifts.
So whether a budding scientist lives in your home or you just want to encourage your children's love of learning, these science gifts for kids are sure to bring smiles and cheer this holiday season.
