Dont waste your money
Barely foamed/fozzed. NOT worth the price. Plus you can only do it a few times.

Meh. About as exciting as watching Mentos in Diet Coke. Just much more expensive.

No eruption
Cool idea but doesn’t explode like it supposed to . My son was super disappointed. The portion you put the citric acid in doesn’t dump into the bucket

Disappointing
Seal does not function well enough so foam shoots out the bottom and sides, leaving for a very underwhelming chemical reaction. Tried multiple times to no different results.

False advertising
Complete false advertising, this is not the elephant toothpaste it's the baking soda and vinegar with soap. Complete rip off

False advertising
False advertising. This is not an elephant toothpaste reaction. It is a simple acid and base reaction. An elephant toothpaste reaction is hydrogen peroxide and yeast. Very disappointing.

Dissappointing
Carefully followed instructions and attempted the experiment three times with zero success. Disappointing, don’t waste your money.

Easy set up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids were super excited to try out this product. Easy to set up and instructions were easy to follow. The product function itself wasn't as exciting as expected though as it was a short amount of thrill. Clean up is easy and there are multiple packets to try again at a later date with additional instructions on how to make it yourself.

Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was the kids dream come true. They have been dreaming of the day they can try elephant toothpaste! It was so much fun and they love that they get to do it multiple times!!

fun science for little kids
Disagree with the age on this. Its more of a kindergarten, or better yet, pre school level rather than 8+. For kids who have watched the Mark Rober shows, this does not have the wow factor. We expected so much more! Tried all the different settings, some just bubbled, and some went into the air. Over all, well packaged, easy to read and understand instructions, and a video is provided with scanned link

Has potential
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty cool experiment to try with kids, although it doesn’t really foam up like on the box, it’s more of a spray. I believe maybe I could try again and have a better outcome, possible learning curve. It comes with enough product to try it three times so that’s really nice! Didn’t make too much of a mess and instructions were pretty straightforward!

Makes science extremely fun to learn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kids were super excited to open and do this. It does have a lot of steps so it needs parental help for sure. Easy to wash out and clean up. Super sturdy and bonus that it comes with multiple packets to do the experiment more then one time and to try all the nozzles to find what goes the highest. Also loved the fact that it gives instructions how to do it with household ingredients when you run out of the packets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was such a fun experiment and the instructions were super helpful and easy for the kids to follow. The volcano has different settings and each of the explosions were all really cool.

Easy to set up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The set up was very easy. My kids are big fans of Mark Rober since they watch a lot of his videos on YouTube. We expected it to erupt more and much higher but unfortunately it didn’t. This was a neat little product though that both my kids enjoyed mixing and seeing it erupted.

anticlimactic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] in general seems like an awesome toy for the kids, but it’s very anticlimactic. the instructions and assembly are easy to follow but it seems more comes out of the bottom than the top even tried to tighten it all the way. very little mess to clean up
