I love an activity or toy that will not only entertain my kids, but will also teach them something. With the endless snow days we’ve had this winter, we have had many opportunities to try out some educational toys.
Kits for Kids
Connor’s Kits for Kids started in 2004 to show kids of all ages that everyone can have fun with science. The allowance-friendly kits help make that happen with cool experiments, lots of materials, and easy to follow instructions with clear explanations.
Our favorite kit so far has definitely been Polymer Power. I mean, what kid wouldn’t love to make their own slime?
Stretch it! Break it! Ooze it! Kids come up with wonderful and hilarious things to do with slime and it’s completely washable. Generous 4-ounce Slimerizer and 8-ounce Slime Base solutions guarantee hours of slimy adventure.
Want it extra stretchy and gooey? Just add more Slimerizer. A little over the top? Next time try adding less! Kids record their formulas on Connor’s chart so they can make their favorites again and share their breakthroughs with friends. After a creative experience with Polymer Power, kids can impress friends, family and even teachers with their knowledge of molecules, polymers and chemical reactions (It’s not just all about snot!). The instructions, as usual, make it easy to get what’s going on inside that cup of slime.
You can purchase Connor’s Kits for Kids online at Amazon.com, Uncommon Goods, The Grommet, YoYo.com, and Norman & Jules Toy Shop or search for a local retailer on their website.
