Or so he thought.

The Slimy Factory kit, designed for children in Key Stage 2, is aimed at developing new skills and abilities as well as encouraging experimentation. For The Boy though, first and foremost, it was fun.
The Science4you Slimy Factory creates all kinds of ooze and slime, monsters, medusa and worms as well as silly, sticky balls.

I liked that The Boy could pick and choose which experiment he wanted to try and, with only a little supervision, carry them through to their conclusion. There's also enough experiments and ideas to explore that the kit will be used again and again.
Science4you's Slimy Factory is clearly a well thought out and put together kit with goggles and gloves, test tubes, beakers and bottles that gives it the feel of a grown up chemistry set and, fittingly, The Boy the look of a mad scientist.
The kit also contains a 36 page booklet of instructions, experiments (with levels of difficulty clearly marked) and plenty of information on the basic science concepts behind the experiments, fascinating to both children and adults alike. Particularly if you were one of those adults who preferred to draw love hearts on your jotter rather than listen in science class.
Yeah, sorry about that Dr Reason. *Blush*
Slimy Factory is part of a range of scientific and educational toys suitable for Key Stage 2 and linked to the science curriculum to supplement and support school learning from Science4you and costs just £19.99. Not bad for a box that will keep your little scientist entertained for hours.
