My 4 year old loved the kit My 4 year old loved the kit. The activities were age appropriate and engaging. It is a really great introduction to her getting excited about a career when she grows up. In the future it would be awesome if the Oyster kits had an app with extra lessons.

We were soooo excited for this box to… We were soooo excited for this box to arrive. Really really wanted to like it. However, the materials used are cheap cheap. I'm pretty sure we are missing pieces, they're not here. The value of items in this box is around $7.00 at best. My son is hugely into science, this kit bored him to tears. He lost all interest in it. After reading the same kind of reviews from other parents, I realize we arent the only ones dissatisfied. This is extremely disappointing. I'm not wasting anymore money. Amazon is involved in this box...guess I shouldn't be surprised by it's quality. Or lack there of. I know these are geared towards kids...but when my 8yr old even called it junk, it's junk. (And he loves collecting junk!)

Fun and Learning We just completed our second box and my daughter absolutely loved it! She was proud completing her projects and I was proud of her learning while having fun!

Fun and Different My son (8) was excited to get the kit in the mail. When we opened it, we were a little overwhelmed by the contents, but he dove right in with some encouragement. I was hoping that this was something that he could do on his own, but it turns out that he needed assistance. There were some steps that he just couldn't get to work without help. That being said, the final product is fun and he enjoys it. I would recommend Oyster for someone who is looking for something fun and different to do with their children.

Entertaining sturdy and worth the price We received our first oyster kit for my 7 year old this November and he loves it. He loved the lesson on blood vessels and practiced wrapping various peoples “broken” limbs for three hours! What a great way to learn about the medical field and the materials lasted through it all.
