I've attached pictures of a few of the experiment directions, so you can see some of the things you can do. Even though most of the experiments call for basic household ingredients, packaging goes a long way here. The kit comes with everything you need, and all of it comes in cute little pouches or bottles. You also get four big test tubes with a stand, two mini scoopers, and a plastic wand. I know it sounds crazy, but the scoopers and tubes genuinely make these common cooking ingredients feel more like legit "experiment components." Seriously, the presentation of this kit is perfect.
My kids are excited to do each experiment (we've only done about half of them so far). I think making the crystals for the inside of the plastic wand has been their favorite, even though it required A LOT of wait time. But the kids are genuinely excited to see what will happen when we add this to that or drop in this color tablet after the last color tablet. They are engaged and excited (and occupied). Honestly, this set pretty much blew my expectations out of the water. It's been a real hit.

But my daughter got this kit for Christmas and LOVES IT! It is the perfect thing for her to do on her own. Since she is in first grade, she can easily read the directions. They are very clearly written. All of the materials that she needs are right there. The kit requires a few additional materials, but all of them are things that she can easily access (i.e. a butter knife). All of the experiments are very easy for her to do and clean up after. She loves pretending to be a wizard, and so far it has provided HOURS of self-directed entertainment and learning. It was a great choice and I would recommend it to anyone who has a 5-7 year old who can read and who is interested in doing experiments with limited adult interaction.
Of course, I would also recommend that parents encourage children to form a "hypothesis" and help explain the "why" part of the experiment to help increase the learning potential of this kit. But it can also be used if you need your older child to be entertained while your younger two nap;)
