Crayola Colour Chemistry Lab Set

The scientists at Crayola take their hues seriously—and they’ve been busy creating a set of playful experiments exploring the subject of colour, of course. The Crayola Colour Chemistry Lab Set comes with 50 activities to teach kids about the principles of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) through the magic of colour. Experiments run the gamut from basic colour mixing to creating an erupting volcano with coloured lava. We like that each experiment has its own step-by-step, illustrated instructions (although the instruction booklet's print is quite small), including prompts for kids to make their own observations and conclusions about what they saw. Parents can rest easy that the art materials are nontoxic, but watch out for spills—you’re advised to clean them up immediately with soap and water. The best part? This isn’t a toy you have to toss out when the experiments are done; using everyday items, kids can use the instruction guide to conduct experiments over and over again.
