FAQs About Science Gifts for Kids
What age is this suitable for?
Great for ages 6–12, with clear levels of support.
I don’t have a science background, will I have trouble helping my child?
Not at all! Each box comes with a full colour booklet with illustrated instructions and a link to a set of videos that show each activity being performed. We design experiments in such a way that your child will discover concepts for themselves by performing them, and provide explanations for the scientific phenomena that they discover. On top of all this, parents have access to a cheat sheet‚ to fully brief them on the phenomena in advance!
Can my child use these kits on their own?
These kits are intended only for use under adult supervision. The degree to which a supervising adult needs to be involved will vary from child to child and is left to your discretion.
Do the boxes really fit through the letterbox?
We have based the dimensions of the Investigate box on the average for UK letterboxes. The dimensions are 200mm x 35mm x 400mm (yes, it’s pretty long!). The Explore box is slightly larger than a large letter, so again will fit through most letterboxes. If your letterbox is particularly small the box may not fit, but you can specify a safe place where the box can be left for you.
