WILD! Science Kits Review

9 March 2016 by Eileen

This coming Friday, we are celebrating a week of British Science Week events which will kick off on 11th March to 20th March 2016. To help us with a range of science activities, WILD! Science has a range of science kits that are designed with great play value whilst exploring fascinating scientific principles.

Check out Flair website for more details on the science kits. They are suitable for aged 8 onwards with adult supervision. Each kit comes with the listed items and instructions. The instructions are very well written with picture illustrations to show the step-by-steps. Some of the kits require you to do a patch test before using the product on yourself. We have received these science kits:

  1. Bath Bomb
  2. Lip Balm Studio
  3. Magic Nail Studio
  4. Rocket Ball Workshop
  5. Weird Slime Workshop
  6. Zombie blood & Guts Workshop

  1. Bath Bomb

Do you know where the fizz comes from? It’s by mixing bicarbonate and citric acid in water, the acid grabs the sodium and pushes off the carbonate where they fizz as bubbles of carbon dioxide. To make this bath bomb required some trial and error! I tried to make it with my son and we made a few mistakes! Luckily, we still had enough materials to make one very small bath bomb! It was hard work trying to get the right texture and fill it into the mould. Once filled, pack it down with the packing stick and the bath bomb is ready.

You can also use the materials to make a lava using the bicarbonate and citric acid with warm soapy water!

  1. Lip Balm Studio

This kit uses natural waxes and oils to vary the melting point and hardness of lip balm. It helps children to explore the science of change of state and temperature control. This project required using a microwave and hot water. This was quite an interesting project to do with my children. They were quite amazed to learn how lip balm was made using the oily ingredients.

  1. Magic Nail Studio

You learn how to mix polish and coloured ink to make nail polish with this kit. This set appealed to both of my children. My son happily mixed the polish while my daughter helped to file, paint my nails and style it with photochromic nail stickers. However, the stickers didn’t work with indoor lighting but does work from the natural UV in daylight. Both my children enjoyed this set especially because they were pampering me!

  1. Rocket Ball Workshop

This kit allows you to make four different sizes of hyperlauncher balls. Filling the moulds with the coloured polymer took us nearly 10 minutes because the moulds are quite small and fiddly. I used a paper plate to catch all the loose coloured polymers that dropped from the moulds. Each ball takes 30 – 60 seconds in the water and then you need to wait for it to dry before you launch it. My son was amazed with the results.

  1. Weird Slime Workshop

Before your child explores the activity, you have to make up the alginate stock solution at least 20 minutes beforehand. It is not an easy task because you have to keep shaking until all the powder has dissolved. I did use a wooden stick to mix the solution to ensure all the powder was dissolved.

wild science weird slime fake fish eggs

The kit is enough for you to make three activities: fake fish eggs, green jelly worms and leeches. We made fake fish eggs. Both kids enjoyed using the pipettes to create the fish eggs and my son loved squeezing and playing with it.

  1. Zombie blood & Guts Workshop

This kit is quite similar to the weird slime workshop. However, this comes with slightly different instructions for making different activities like zombie eyeballs and blood clots. The underlying theory is the same – to use the sodium alginate and calcium chloride solution. This definitely great to use during Halloween party.

wild science zombie cut & guts workshop

My son made the zombie cuts and we filled it into the bags for future use!

We love these kits as they come with everything you need. Each kit is educational and creative. We all enjoyed using them. It does make a big mess but at the end of the day, both children learnt something new. It definitely enriches them with more knowledge so I would recommend the kits!

Disclosure: We received the samples for the purposes of writing this review however all thoughts and opinions remain our own.
