    I purchased this set for my 6 year old last Christmas and it continues to be the best toy money I've ever spent. My son is at the age where he likes science and wants to build and find out how things work, but he's a little young for the usual chemistry sets, etc. He has spent hours making each of the projects and inventing his own as well. Various family members from 2 to 70 have also enjoyed looking at the finished projects and working together to make more. They are fascinating.

    The instructions are easy to read, and the clear diagrams are understood by my son at an age 6-7 reading level. The pieces are well-made and durable. My son has occasionally lost them in the couch or on the floor and they have handled the abuse, although I do recommend keeping the kit safe just in case. It comes with a nice layout map of where all the pieces go in the box for easy clean up, and to help see if anything is missing at clean up time.

    We have since bought the "lights and music" add on kit and have enjoyed that as well. This is a toy that combines science and family fun. But the thing I like best about it, compared to other science-type kits, is that it doesn't require adult supervision so you don't have to sit there beside them all the time. My son is very independent with this set, which is great since we have three kids and I can't always be nearby to show him what to do.
