We have reached Day #10 in our 12 Days of Wonder. Today’s spotlight science toy is Chemistry Kit – CHEM C1000.
We only have two more days to go.
Steve Spangler Science is celebrating the 12 Days of Wonder and highlighting our top 12 science toys and kits that are perfect to put under the tree. As blog editor, social media coordinator and mom of two budding scientists, I will share my review of each product. Steve Spangler Science also found 12 respected, popular mom bloggers to each test and review one of our 12 science gifts. I will include a link to their blogs and their honest reviews of each gift idea at the bottom of this post. Today, Stacey from Tree, Root, and Twig shares her review. The kit is also the Deal of the Day.
