MEandMine Aha! Skin STEM Science Kit - Body Anatomy Learning Toys for Kids Ages 5-8 - Educational Science Lab Experiments for Boys & Girls - Perfect for Classroom, Homeschool & Birthday Gifts

We purchased this kit for our 9 year old son. He surprised me with how much he got out of it.We read the story, which introduced a character that lacks social emotional understanding and goes through a journey to discover emotions. Our son then worked to figure out the circuitry to put together the robot and lo and behold, he had a working robot that reacted to the conductive dough mini monsters we built (the cut outs were cute).I didn't think much of it until I asked him what he learned from the kit, and he gave me a detailed understanding of the mind-body connection and how emotions were processed from sensory input. He surprised me with how much he understood! So all in all, great job on teaching my kiddo!I bought this for my friend’s little kid as a birthday gift. She likes it!We need more games/toys like this to teach our kids about our environment! I love that this game looks into some of these big environmental issues and fosters empathy (and other social emotional learnings) in our next generation. It’s important to raise kids that actually care about our surroundings and not just about achievements.I purchased the brain version to keep my kids busy during the summer. My daughter is going into 2nd grade and really enjoyed the combination of reading about the brain and then doing experiments to experience what she just read about. It was easy to follow along, fun to do, and everyone learned something new (me included).SUBSEQUENT REVIEW: Once my daughter got over her disappointment with the video issue described below, this turned out to be a good project for her. She was entertained for a good three hours. Just don't mention your child the video piece and it should be all good.INITIAL REVIEW: The concept is a nice one to entertain a child with. It comes with a book and some buildable toys. However, the attention to detail leaves much to be desired. I started doing this with my daughter and got her excited about watching the instructional video they advertise on their instructions manual (she liked the idea of having something visual to look at. We went to the web site they advertised. It prompted us to find the password on their camp guide. It was not clear to us what that might be but we looked and found something resembling it on a colorful envelope that seemed to fit the description. It's a long (19 numbers and some symbols) phrase. As tedious as it was, we typed it in. We got rejected. We tried three times and gave up. Come on guys. Is your video so valuable that you need to torture the parents and disappoint the kids to guard it?Fascinating innovative product! Very creative and user friendly. My daughter is 4 and is still able to follow the game and understand all the various characters etc. Excellent tool for teaching about tantrums! Will definitely look into the other boxes from this line.Bought this to do with my grandson. The activities were age appropriate and the instructions were easy to follow. I will be buying more of these activity kits.My 7 year old daughter loved this kit. I didn't realize there was a book to follow along with at first, so the experiments didn't make a ton of sense but the kit had a good "flow" when I found it! My daughter especially liked the slime and poop. A caveat - this was definitely messier than I anticipated and it would've been good to do on a tray. Also, there are small caps on the bottom as an extra seal so be sure to remove them before trying to squeeze the glue, etc out!This is the third play kits I bought from this company. We love this science kit the most . We had tons of fun exploring digestive system and making poop! Please make it a subscription! My kids are asking for more.
