Capillary Action

This went great along with our plants unit of study.  It was fun activity and highly educational with the included booklet, recommended additional activity and book recommendations. It was engaging for both a 7 year old and 9 year old special needs kiddo. I did most of the prep work due to my little guys attention spans and they joined in for the activity, game, experiment and reading.  The kit was well rounded and with a few additions quite complete for the age range! :) 

We loved this kit!

what a great kit...who knew learning could be fun and so engaging. My son loved the game included too 

fun learning

I have a 4 and 5 year old girls.   We all loved this crate!!!  Easy to follow, girls were blown away by the results and then played with the balancing tree for a good amount of time. There are enough supplies to repeat the experiment one more time which is perfect!  Absolutely love it!  

Love it!!!

Simple instructions ith immediate results; my son was fasinated watching the dye travel up the strings in the flower activity. It was awesome that there were enough materials to do this experiment twice. The balancing tree game was also a huge hit, and my 6 year old is still requesting to play it over and over again!

Immediate results

We loved the simple, detailed science explanation of how plants and trees get their waters. Both activities were well related to the topic and achievable for my 7 year old to do. The capillary action was fun and aesthetically appealing.

Beautiful science

We enjoyed watching the whole process of capillary action as the flowers changed color from sucking up the colored water. This visual helped my son understand how capillary action works and now we have gained some good scientific understanding!

Visual learning

My daugter told me that her and her daughter really enjoyed this crate. Ny granddaughter was amazed to see how the capillaries colors went up and colored the leaves. What a great learning experience  

educational

My 7 year old was able to complete it herself. She learned about the science behind capillary action while creating a nice, simple art piece which she has displayed in her room. My daughter wishes there were more colors included so she could create flowers of varying colors. She recommends adding blue so she'd have 3 colors she could mix for different colored flowers. 

The multi-step flower-dye project was a lot of fun for my 5-year old and me. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the result is pretty too. The tree balancing game hasn't interested my 5-year old at all. Generally, the games have not been so engaging to my children. 

Nice

Create flowers to learn about capillary action and build a tree balancing game!
