mathnerd Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I am also hoping that I can order from Rainbow Resource, so if anyone can recommend any good science kits, projects etc I would most appreciate it. I am going to take my DS to attend his friend's science themed birthday party and the little boy specified that he loves science related gifts. Thanks in advance.

prissygirls Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Snap circuits? My 6 yr old loves them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Another vote for Snap Circuits. My kids both love them. When my dd was that age, we got her caterpillars that she could watch grow into butterflies. That was a big hit, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariston Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Coupons for butterfly caterpillars or an ant farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammv15 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 CBD has alot of Science Activity books that look great and inexpensive. I will probably order one or two just for added Science fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Oops! I was thinking this was fro your son 9insect collecting). For a gift, I might get a brine shrimp growing kit. You can find them under 'sea monkeys.' Cost around $10 and neat enough that friend's mother shouldn't mind. http://www.amazon.com/Schylling-Sea-Monkeys-Ocean-Zoo/dp/B001CBZXEE/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1367951082&sr=1-1&keywords=sea+monkey Mini weather station. There are lots of brands. http://www.amazon.com/Toysmith-4573-Weather-Station-Kit/dp/B002HHQ8X2/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1367951019&sr=1-1&keywords=weather+station I believe I've seen both of these at RR. Leaving my ideas for own ds: My dc had a great time making an insect collection. We got proper forceps, insect pins, killing jar, glass-topped display cases, etc from Home Science Tools. A Golden Guide insect book was sufficient. We also got butterfly pavilion, plus other habitats/insects to raise directly from Insect Lore (that's where ll the coupons go, I think). I like the insect materials, because they made open-ended projects, rather than something that gets completed & finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thank you! I am going to check out every one of these. I will also be buying some of these for my son's use too as they are all so interesting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
