With Christmas time fast approaching I hope you’re at least starting to think about who you need to buy for and what you’re going to buy for all of those people on your list. If you have a young scientist on your Christmas list then you’re going to love The Young Scientists Club.
Esther Novis, a mother of five and a former Harvard-trained biologist, started The Young Scientists Club a decade ago as a summer science camp for her then 5-year-old son. Friends from other parts of the country told Novis they felt cheated that their kids couldn’t go, so she naturally packaged the experiments and sent them off. The idea for a science subscription service was born! The subscription kits are now mailed monthly to thousands of children around the world and the company’s retail kits are sold in hundreds of specialty stores.
The young scientist on your Christmas is sure to love the Magic School Bus Diving into Slime, Gel, and Goop, which is what I got to check out. In this kit:
Ms. Frizzle and her students take Young Scientists diving into slime, gel, and goop with fun and fabulous experiments. Young Scientists discover oobleck, produce glue from milk, grow jiggly marbles, make snow from super-absorbent crystals, form a bouncy ball, create slime, expand super-absorbent gel crystals, melt fake snow, learn about polymers, and much, much more! This polymer kit includes extra gels, super-absorbent crystals, and marbles to repeat the fun! Seatbelts everyone! Get ready to dive into slime, gel, and goop!
Sounds fun, right? Well, one lucky winner will get to pick either the Magic School Bus Diving into Slime, Gel and Goop, the Magic School Bus Going Green or Science on a Gardening Adventure from The Young Scientists Club. Here’s what you need to do for a chance to win:
- Check out The Young Scientists Club. Leave me a comment telling me which prize you would pick: Magic School Bus Diving into Slime, Gel and Goop, the Magic School Bus Going Green or Science on a Gardening Adventure.

My grandson is totally mad about the Magic School Bus and would probably love any of the three, but I think the hMagic School Bus Diving into Slime, Gel and Goop might have a slight edge. Six-year-olds are into slime.
