Science Box!

Ok, so here goes.  My eldest is six.  I was thinking of buying her a science kit for Christmas, but then thought I should have a go at putting one together myself.  That way, if any of the 'experiments' are a bit rubbish I can exclude them from the final gift.  My focus is for fun - she is only young.  If she wants to find out about more about the science behind the fun that is great, we can do that together, but I am not going to bombard her with it.

So with the help of the internet and sites such as Pinterest, I have made a short list of experiments to trial.  I will go through them each individually so you can see how I get on.  I will also link to the original source as don't want to steal anyone's thunder.

Here is my shopping list of things I need to buy or acquire.  Go on, join me - this could be fun.  But I take absolutely no responsibility for your actions or singed eyebrows!
