When it comes to buying presents there are two categories of people I always struggle with, the men in my life, they want for nothing, and the children. My niece has recently reached the stage where she just wants money or gift vouchers, which I can appreciate, but sometimes I just want to get her something more thoughtful! As she is a smart cookie and fascinated about the world around her, I often opt for at least one ‘sciencey’ gift at Christmas.
These are things that I have my eye on for my ‘sciencey’ niece.
Containing over a dozen experiments this Young Survivor kit teaches children lots of amazing survival techniques and explains how and why they work. This is definitely a great present for any outdoor adventurer who also loves science! Although these kits are so engaging, I think they will be loved by anyone. These kits include everything, other than a few household items, you need to complete these fantastic experiments.
