The Bee and I turned our kitchen into a Potions Lab Friday  thanks to Astra Toys. Last year I won their Big Bag of Science during the Philly Social Media Moms Holiday Party and due to a loaded schedule we just pulled it out. In the words of The Bee, “Why did we wait so long?”

The experiments were on the easier side and we whipped through them. The Bee and I both liked that the experiments were possible. Science always seems mysterious and difficult. This kit makes it understandable and enjoyable. We loved the idea of a lab in a bag. Everything that The Bee experiences in school can be recreated in our kitchen. The kit is designed for ages 8 and up however the experiments are simple and we were able to whip through several in the course of an hour. The Bee said she thought these were too simple but I found the kit to be a great reinforcement for ideas and concepts she had already been exposed to.

Check out Astra Toy online for more information about their products and enjoy some of our shots from The M&M lab!
