Each kit introduces kids to a different kind of adventure, so the company has grouped all of its Science kits into sub-categories for easier merchandising. Science In the Kitchen Curiosity Kits' biggest hit of 1999 was Yummy Chocolate Bugs, a multiple award-winner. Kids from four to fourteen will love sinking their teeth into these homemade treats they create when they melt colored chocolate wafers, then paint them into four ferocious dinosaur shapes.
Enough chocolate is included to make eight lollipops.
Supplies to make eight colored glycerin soap disks, each with a creepy plastic animal or insect inside, are provided. In this kit, kids four to fourteen hatch preserved triops eggs and care for the living underwater animals they become. Kit contains eggs, tank, food, water thermometer, paint for decorating the tank, and a journal to record the triops' growth and activity. Youngsters eight and up who like to observe animals in action will also flock to Hummingbird Feeder. Children use colored foam and paint to decorate a plastic feeder, then fill it with sugar water to attract and watch the amazing hummingbird in action.
