Volcano Lab VR - Build and Erupt Your Own Volcano - Virtual Reality Kids Science Kit, Book and Interactive STEM Learning Activity Set - for Ages 8 and Up

I’ve had a few items from Abacus now and I have to admit, you have to read the instructions, they are short and easy but you do have to read them, otherwise if you start mixing the sand/plaster with water it’s gonna harden on you – the secret (not really a secret since it’s in the directions) is to add the plaster TO THE WATER, and not the other way around. Start with the water bowl, and sprinkle in the plaster as you mix continuously so that it doesn’t harden up. There’s even a video in virtual reality that shows you how to do it. Then as is starts to get thick, you quickly pour it all into the mold. Super fun and easy, again, you just have to slow down and follow the instructions.

Had a great time with this hands on science kit. The plaster mini-volcano was easy to make and customize. Instructions were also easy to follow and actually useful. My son took his time to paint his volcano with the included paints and has added it to his collection of favorite science projects. The poster that came with the kit is up over his bed.The downloadable app was easy to use and the VR experiences were amazing. I'm not sure what some of the other reviewers are seeing, but the virtual reality experiences worked fine for both me and my son.Overall a great science kit, well worth the price. Highly recommended.

Gave this to a great nephew as a Christmas gift. He LOVED it! I prefer giving gifts that teaches the children something.

This toy will make a great holiday gift to my 8-yr old nephew.

Mess everywhere and not enough product now

I love getting these types of fun learning experiences for the kids, they need so much of these playing adventures... now more than ever! I have a big dinosaur and volcano fan, he loves exploring and learning more and more about them. He is 6, but to build and play with this set, he invited his 7 and 10 year old cousins, I helped them build the volcano, they were really into it... I must admit it could be a little better as far as the quality, mostly the VR, but in general they had fun and that's what matters.

As a homeschooler I use these priceless and informative VR series to teach my children all types of science; from planets to now Volcanoes! Not only are they ingeniously put together, but they still provide for much independency as my child ‘s sparkling mind becomes more inquisitive on each section of a subject.The VR glasses are superb! We use ours with iPhones 11 and the images and video are so spectacularly life like. My child interacts with complete surprise, excitement and even a little bit trepidation when she’s being chased by a roaring, stomping T-Rex. The large colorful and interactive book is quite amazing, and the narration included is just right, without being over intrusive.Just aim the VR googles at a special icon and the smart book takes over, pulling your child into an amazing new world! Even I’ve learn loads of new info and I’m college educated. These VR Series are simply invaluable and indispensable IMO!

It didn’t even work! The packet wasn’t enough to even fill the film to create a mold. The app with the phone and vr didn’t work right. Just sent you on a dizzy hell spin is the best way to describe it. Do not recommend.
