Playing with purpose!
My 8 year old grandson loved this. The instructions were clear and easy for him to follow without much help from Dad! He has remade the model several times each time with enthusiasm. I will look for another similar "toy".

Not a complete pack to be able to do much of the experiments!
Since it does not have certain item/s in order to undertake activities you cant do many of the experiments i still have it but i need to get hold hold denatured alcohol and this is an additional cost which is quite costly! I feel the things that are added are durable they do look sufficient to do the job and children are very impressed and exited about using them including adults would be quite impressed to. however, the dna model is quite small in my opinion. Overall, I think it is a little much expensive for what is provided considering you cant get started unless you purchase the denatured alcohol which will put you out quite abit.But i would not say to lose interest in it at all- lets just say i would have been much happier with the item if someone else bought it as a gift for me than me spending £25-£30 on it! I would value it at £10-£18!
