Wish You were Hair Card

Our 7 year old cannot bear to be away from this laser set for longer than one day. All of his friends love it too, as do our kitties, and his 12-year-old sister. Such a really cool toy, and project, to boot!

I love my items!!!

Everything I got was absolutely amazing! I loved the item cards that came with everything, and everything was packaged very neatly! I'm particularly fond of the minerals of the earth set I got; they're all big specimens and they're so pretty! I'll be ordering from here again, and I'll be telling my friends about it! I can't wait to get the subscription box one day, also!

Gift for a Friend

This by far surpassed the happiness of giving this gift to a friend in love with everything space and NASA. She loved this and the cool shipping box it came in with a lot of science questions. Thanks for having this product available to make this amazing memory!
