I love the idea of giving a gift to a child that involves quality time together, discovery, and maybe even a little learning! A Science Kit offers just that…plus lots of fizzing, zooming, and reacting!

Actually, the entire reason I formatted my Fascinating Science for Kids eBook was for this very purpose: to be able to eventually use it as a gift. I didn’t add page numbers because I wanted to be able to exclude some experiments that might not be age-appropriate. I wanted to instructions to be bright, fun, and inviting (hence, the multi-colored Chevron background). :)

I was able to buy everything (including the tub) for less than $20 by buying generic of most items at Walmart!

After printing the eBook, I decided to laminate the pages back-to-back and bound them with a metal ring.

Here are the contents of the Science Kit:
