Thames & Kosmos Little Labs Stepping into Science Review:

The less than ten customers who reviewed this science kit gave it an average rating of 3.8 stars. They generally felt it was a fun kit for young children, although there were some who were not that satisfied with the kit.

One user who got this kit for her five-year-old son who did homeschool shared how he enjoyed the kit. She felt it was a great introduction to science for his age, and commented that they used the kit whenever his 2-year-old sister was napping so as not to pose a risk with the small cardboard and Styrofoam components. Another buyer shared how her 6-year-old daughter had a great time with this kit, and she herself liked how the manual came with extra ideas for further experimentation, making the possibilities virtually limitless. Other reviewers who enjoyed this kit found it to be great for stirring up curiosity and experimentation, with one user having kids that ranged from four to eight years old, all of whom had a lot of fun with the projects.

One customer was a bit disappointed that a couple of the projects involving the boat did not work, as she felt it was a bit cheaply made. Still, she liked it enough to give it a 4.0-star rating. Another buyer who felt this kit was a waste of money complained that the experiments included were not that interesting; then again, that might have been from the perspective of an adult.

Overall, this is a great kit for teaching preschoolers and younger grade school kids the basic principles of science and experimentation. Your kids will definitely enjoy learning while having fun with the projects in this kit, giving you great value for your money. Of course, be sure to watch the small parts such as those made of cardboard and Styrofoam, and keep them from younger kids as they pose a choking hazard.
