The Explore Box was designed by people who are passionate about science, to make it as easy and convenient as possible for parents to inspire their little ones with incredible science experiments.
We’re pretty confident that the Explore Box does just that! But if you don’t believe us, see what our customers have to say:
“Loads of fun and great that we both got involved together. The discoveries he made were told to everyone and now we are all much more knowledgeable. Really enjoyed recording in the booklet the results from the experiments. Much more in the box than I expected. Well done.”
– Karen, mum of an Explorer
About the Explore Box
What’s in the boxes?
Each box in the series of twelve is different – we don’t like to be formulaic!
What you can definitely expect from every box is enough materials to complete 3-4 science experiments, activities and projects. Each box generally fills an afternoon with science fun, but we package everything up neatly so you can dip in and out throughout the month if you prefer.
The boxes also include a 12-page fully illustrated instruction booklet (featuring lab assistants Meg and Pico) that makes every step perfectly clear. If that’s not enough, we’ve filmed every experiment for you to watch! Your little scientist will also get a pencil to record their findings and a special achievement sticker to wear.
You can see a full list of the boxes with the experiments inside here.
