Starting today and continuing into December, we will celebrate 12 Days of Wonder 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. Today Kristin Fitch of Ziggity Zoom shares her review. We will also feature a Deal of the Day savings. So check our blog every day for the next few weeks to see our featured 12 Days of Wonder.
