Scientific Explorer Disgusting Science Kit

Lets’s face it, kids love gross stuff. It’s not only funny – they seem to be fascinated by it. My daughter was no exception as she loved this kit! It provides a lot of fun in one box, and with that comes a lot of learning. The two go hand in hand when you’re dealing with younger kids.

The Disgusting Science kit will keep your child busy for hours making all kinds of gross stuff related to the body: blood, intestines, snot, bacteria and fungus will all make an appearance.
