New Advent Calendar SHOCKING SCIENCE by The Purple Cow. 24 Jaw - dropping Science Tricks for Kids aged 8 and above. The perfect S.T.E.M gift!

So well received by my 9 yr old grandson. He looked forward to andcompleted each and every activity, then sent me photos . It was so fun! The puzzles are challenging but not frustrating.

Grandson loves this. Having so much fun. Comes with everything you need.

This was not only fun, but it was something we were able to do with our 9 year old daughter. She could do many of them without much help, but there were some that she needed assistance, but the best part was seeing her enthusiasm for opening and creating the next day’s “project.” It states everything you need is included, but there are a few things 99.9% of households will have on hand that are not included. The instruction book was clear and easy to follow and not flimsy, like the box that held each day. This was bothersome because they are all loose and easily spilled, which is not a deal breaker- you could easily find a way to present each day rather than it being so sloppy as we like to have the calendars be part of the decorations. The other downside, is having the instructional book have everyday in there. You have to make sure they do not see days they have not done and hide the book if you have kids that like to peek. It just diminishes the element of surprise. Little annoyances, but easily fixed and this may not be a problem for others. Overall, this is definitely worth it, it is a lot of fun and different than standard calendars. Highly recommend.

This was pretty cool (I thought) but my son lost interest after about Day 6 or 7... which was kind of sad... the things were very cool to do but it was hard to do each day before school and then after school, we'd forget some days and I think that's where it got to be hard for us to do and then he lost interest. But it was a cool advent calendar none the less. The few that we did open he did enjoy and I think it would be a great gift for someone into STE(A)M!! Best suited for ages 7-10 I think! :)

Purchased this advent calendar over toy and candy ones because it was different and seemed fun. My kids were very excited to receive it! However, most of these require extra materials: measuring spoons, cups, bowls, water, etc and it sort of became a chore to do these every day. We wound up opening them once per week vs. every day because of busy schedules, homework, bed times, and we couldn’t dedicate 15 mins per day to do these including setup and cleanup. If this company were to put out another calendar but most of the days were quick tricks, illusions, or short science experiments with minimal materials, we would purchase it again.

My kids and I had SO much fun with these! I highly recommend.

Bought this for my 7 year old grandson and he is loving it. He tests his new skills on his parents. It’s a fun thing for him to do each day after coming home from school.

My nephews loved this!

Cezzionale... ogni giorno un nuovo trucco... interessante e stimolante... consigliato

This is a fantastic substitution for the traditional chocolate advent calendars. Everything is well-thought through and of high quality. It really only takes about 5min to do each experiment. We'll be returning next year, if not earlier, to have some fun activity on rainy day.

I absolutely loved doing these with my kids last year for Christmas. I'm a scientist and getting them involved with Science was so much fun!

This is the 3rd advent calendar I have bought from Purple Cow. I'm using this one as a Halloween calendar. We are having so much fun. The experiments are quite simple but are really entertaining. Grandsons aged 8 and 12 are both enjoying it and practice their presentations to fool me with their tricks and illusions. Great family activity.

This brand is fantastic, right down to the details. I was wary these would be a repeat of most science kits (half abandoned birthday toys) but actually it’s creative and engaging, not simply things to mix together but interesting activities that keep my 9y old excited for the days to come. You can’t go wrong with any of the advents in this brand, excellent product!
