Let’s Get Down to the Science

The science lab at school may be closed, but you can still put on a white lab coat and learn at home. This Test Tube Experiment Kit will make you feel like a genius in no time. Kids will get the chance to learn about basic chemistry, physics, and more by creating pop-resistant bubbles, bouncy balls, and other objects.

To Infinity(无穷) and Beyond

Earth is a part of the Milky Way Galaxy, but do you know there are around 100 million galaxies in the universe? There are so many fun and fascinating things to learn about space that the possibilities truly go to infinity and beyond. A great way to start your child’s educational space adventure is with this Real Life Sticker and Activity Book.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Biology class is in session! Here’s your chance to get up close and personal with a great white shark without putting on a wetsuit. This 4D Great White Shark Anatomy Kit allows you to get an inside look at what makes these predators of the deep so powerful. And then take an even deeper dive into a shark’s world with I Am Shark.

Take advantage of this time at home and find new ways to keep exploring the world around you.
