So much fun and educational!
This National Geographic Amazing Science experiment box is so much fun doing each of the experiments with my son, he enjoys science a lot. He read the directions that came with the experiment box and I helped him with doing some of the experiments, he was very excited when we were doing them and their final results. All of the ingredients and items needed to do everything came in the box, the experiments final results came out exactly like what the directions said and showed that they would come out.

7 experiments and 5 rocks/fossils
I received this science countdown calendar from the Hey, Bullseye Target reviewer program in exchange for my honest review. This is a fun way to countdown to birthdays, holidays, special events, etc. The experiments are fun, easy to understand and self contained. Everything you need is in the box. The kit includes 7 experiments and 5 rocks/fossils.

Fun Experiment set
This was a really fun set that my kids looked forward to doing each day. A few days had experiments and others revealed a special rock. One thing to note is that this should be done under parents supervision, as there are chemicals that could be harmful if consumed. And also, because my 10 and 8 year olds don't know how to follow directions yet (lol) they didn't save some items that should've been used for multiple experiments.

Super fun and great for curious kids!
The National Geographic 12 Days of Science kit was a big hit with my 6 and 9-year-old. Each day had a different experiment like making a volcano or growing crystals which kept things exciting and educational. Some activities were a bit quick or needed adult help, but overall, it was a fun way to learn and spend time together. Definitely worth it if your kid loves science or surprises!

Fun and Educational
This is a nice kit with tips along the way to keep leftover materials because they will be used on future experiments. Definitely like that. It's not just mixing stuff and you move on. There are actually scientific explanations and easy to understand terms accompanying each day.

Nice set for a a kid
My kid loves this set. He's into science and thought it was super gross and fun. He's 10 years old and had so much fun he told his friends about it. That's a masterful achievement at this age. I love a good engaging toy that's educational.

Great Kit
My two kids loved doing this. Great for preschool through at least 2nd grade. Each “day” took only a few minutes, except for ones that had to set or dry. We didn’t most of them all in one day since the weather was bad and it was fun to do.

Holds Attention Well
This product is awesome and amazing simply because my 7 year old has not forgotten about it yet and we’ve had it for about a month. She always comes back to this experiment kit and takes her time choosing which one she wants to do for the day. The instructions are very easy to follow and the experiments have a good wow factor. We have had two different varieties of these kits and this one has some repeats but also some new ones that are pretty cool.

Fun!
So much fun! My boys (aged 6 and 9) loved doing the experiments and I had a hard time making them do one day at a time. Some experiments worked better than others but they were all fun even if they were a bit messy

Fun, creative activities for kids
We received this calendar as a member of @target #heybullseye program in exchange for our honest review. Honestly, before we could really work with it, our 3.5 yo got a hold of it...BUUUUTTTT.... don't worry, all the stuff still works together and you can still make everything! I think my older daughter has made most of it. It's a lot of pieces, so stick with older kids or at least constant supervision! Id recommended if you're not crazy ocd about kids and messes. I just had slime vibes a lot, but the few i watched were cool!

Super fun - but not every day is an experiment (some days are rocks)
This kit is super fun! It's like an advent calendar, for science! We used it to count down to the last day of school. The experiments are simple, but fun. My only issue is that many of the items are just rocks. Nothing wrong with rocks! Rocks are great! I like rocks! And they include very interesting information about them and what makes them unique. I was just expecting more "experiments" and less objects.

So much fun
My child had so much fun with this National Geographic Amazing Science kit. Of course we had to do it everyday for the 12 days. It was very educational as well. This is something I definitely recommend for kids and adults who love the wonders of science.

Fun
This is such a fun kit. There are so many interesting little tidbits. I love that it's a type of advent calender, which gives my kiddo something interesting to look forward to each day. I do with there were more experiments and less "specimens" included, but the specimens are interesting and things my 8yo thinks are pretty cool. Definitely a fun kit for any time of year.

Highly recommend
National Geographic 12 days of amazing science stem countdown calendar is a hit in my opinion. My little’s enjoyed opening a new science adventure they embarked on. Spread out the 12 days of activities to last a bit over three weeks.
