Alex: Scientific Explorer: Magic Science For Wizards Only - Cast Color Changing Spells, 9 Magic Trick Activities, Chemical Science Kit, Kids Ages 6+

We originally purchased this for our son's friend's birthday gift, but our son thought it was so neat that he wanted one for himself, so I purchased another. Both my son and his friend love making potions and were not let down by this kit. They had so much fun making their magic potions and wizard wand.

this was a fun activity to do eith the kids, i just suggest if you have more than one kid get them each a kit. theres only one wand and hat and would have been easier to let them both do the potions the same time

I love science and my daughter loves Harry Potter. This was perfect for us to play with together. Pros: sturdy test tubes and stand, plenty of materials, re-sealable containers and clear results. Con: can be messy especially if not following provided instructions. (Worth it!)

It's what you'd want in a simple, fun, safe, kid-friendly chemistry set. Messy (but that's the point!). Just have towels underneath. I helped my 8 year old the entire time. Great parent/child activity. We both enjoyed it.

This is a very cute science kit for my 7year old son. He already had the kit "My First Mind Blowing Science Experiment" so he was already familiar with the ingredients. The kit is for 6plus so its pretty easy for him to read. I like the different changing spells and the warning signs on the box is clear and direct. But with only 9 activities, I was hoping for a little more for the price. My son and husband did enjoy doing the experiments so that's what really count. My son says he would definitely recommend to others and he gave it two thumbs up.

easy to use with my grandsons

Clear cut instructions, packaged safely, great activities six year old grandson was blown away with it! Came in a timely manner

my son loves it

My 10-year old daughter has recently showed interest in science experiment kits and when I saw this magic kit, I thought it would be a nice twist to the regular science kits she’s received. With the Scientific Explorer Magic Science For Wizards Only kit there are 9 activities: Feverish Fizz, Glow-In-The-Dark Bubbling Potion, Wizard Wand, Magic Hat, Fizzy Frenzy, Hocus Pocus Powder, Frothing Color-Changing Potion, Test Tube Crystal Ball, and Magic Wand Lava. Some supplies you would usually need to provide yourself (i.e. vegetable oil or baking soda) are included with this kit. Other supplies not included with this kit are common household products. Instructions were simple and my daughter could do most without help. She really liked making her own magic wand. It was difficult for her to put the end caps on herself, but nothing Mom and Dad couldn’t handle. Making her own paper magic hat was a bit baby-ish, I don’t think my 8-year old son would have even found that interesting. The other activities are a little repetitive (adding water to the included ingredients over and over again). For the price, this kit is definitely worth it, providing a couple hours of fun on a cold Winter afternoon.

This game is quite interesting and made my son learn experimenting chemistry. I wish they made a DVD video and give us some better advice. Or if they can't make videos, which is easily possible nowadays, at least they could put some pictures of the experiment. Due to review time reporting, we only had the chance to do the Magic Wand experiment and the Magic Hat, which we didn't even know it was an experiment until I wrote this review. Here is the list of available experiments in the instruction book: - Wizard Wand - Magic Hat - Fizzy Frenzy - Hocus Pocus Powder - Frothing Color-Changing Potion - Test Tube Crystal Ball - Magic Wand Lava - Feverish Fizz - Glow-In-The-Dark Bubbling Potion The magic hat experiment was just a purple paper and star stickers to put on the hat. I wished there were a message on the purple paper saying that it was for the hat and the same for the stickers paper or put the Magic Hat as the first experiment. The magic wand experiment was to mix blue and red color but they tell you to fill the whole tube and put blue and red color tablets. The result was disappointing, it was a dark blueish color and it doesn't even glitter. Unfortunately I found out that: - You don't need to fill the whole tube with water - You need way more than a teaspoon (around 4 teaspoons) of Cross-Linked Polyacrylate Copolymer to fill the magic wand - And especially you don't need to use the two whole color tablets, just scratch the color tablets a little bit is way enough. I did another experiment with all three available colors Yellow, Blue and Red later. And it was way better looking, I only used some tiny little scraps of color and it was glittering. I'm pretty sure that all other experiments will be similar where I will find out that I have to redo it with the right ingredient proportions in case I want better results and if I need to do other experiments, I might have to buy more ingredients.
