Super Gross Chemistry Set

This is definitely not your grandmother’s educational toy. Science will come to life with this Super Gross Chemistry set by National Geographic. Not only does it prove that learning can be hella fun, but that it can be really gross too.

The kit includes everything you’ll need to perform 15 super gross experiments that teaches them about the human body, chemical reactions, polymers, fluorescence, and non-Newtonian fluids.

Kids will love mixing the ingredients to make glowing worms, atomic pee, and farting slime. They will also be able to dissect a mushy brain, make snot bubbles, watch goo defy gravity, and more!

Multi Voice Changer

Sing your favorite tunes, make creepy voices, or read bedtime stories with your friends. The possibilities are truly endless.

Glow in the Dark Throw Blanket

Bedtime just got a whole lot better with this throw blanket that glows in the dark. It’s made out of super soft fleece that will keep them warm and snuggly as they drift away into Lalaland.

It’s a great gift for kids who love astronomy, stars, and constellations, or anyone who enjoys gazing at the stars. When the lights come off, the fun will keep going all night!

Glow in the Dark Bed Canopy

The only thing better than a glow-in-the-dark throw blanket? A giant bed canopy with a cascade of falling stars! The little stars and constellations emit a surreal glow, transforming their bedroom into a relaxing and magical wonderland. It’ll have the kiddos blasting off into sleep in no time.

Marbling Paint Art Kit for Kids

Have a budding artist in the family? Then get ready to become their favorite person ever with this epic marbling kit. It sparks their creative senses and lets them paint in a way they have never experienced before. Instead of painting on paper or canvas, they’ll be painting on … water!

Simply layer the paint over the tray, smear, drag it around, and transfer it onto the paper. Let your work of art dry, and voila!

Washable Hair Chalk Studio

This temporary hair chalk set allows kids to give a radical makeover (that’s completely washable!) to their hair. The set comes with 10 chalk colors that are made with environmentally friendly materials. The chalk is easy to wash off with just water and shampoo, so your kiddos can experiment as many times as they want.

Try a shade of red to see what you’d look like as a ginger. Or switch it up to a bolder color like electric blue. If they’re up for the challenge, they can split their hair into sections and dye it into different colors for some fun rainbow hair! This set will bring them smiles without messing up the whole house.

Crayola Light Up Tracing Tablet

The Crayola Tracing Tablet will spark your giftee’s creativity and give them a great reason to turn off the screens. It comes with over 100 traceable images they can mix and match to make their own masterpieces.

Meanwhile, the lighting in the back will make it easy for them to see their tracings, no matter what time of the day it is. The set comes with 12 colored pencils, 10 tracing pages, and a graphite pencil.
