I purchased this to use in our pre-K homeschool year for my five year old with additional needs. I thought this might be a fun activity to pull out sometimes, but my daughter absolutely loves it and asks to do an experiment every homeschool day. Her favorite thing in the world is color mixing, so this set is perfect for her with all the different colored inks included. The quality of the experiments is better than I expected. The print in the experiment booklet is quite small, but that isn't a reason to take away a star. If I had known how much we would love this kit, I would have recreated the instructions with bigger font and possibly a visual supply list ... perhaps add in a journaling element. I actually might purchase this to do a second time and do just that! This is the perfect introduction to gathering supplies, hearing a bit about science, and following instructions to perform an experiment. I was pleasantly surprised with this kit and highly recommend.
My daughter has had fun and learned a lot with this game. I bought it in Mexico and I need a spare red ink. Is it possible to get a refill of this ink? Can it be replaced by another? What kind of ink is it? thank you
Grandchild has enjoyed this. Are there refills available or do you have to buy a new set?
I would recommend this to a friend!

We are so glad to hear that your grandchild has enjoyed making colorful creations with their Color Chemistry Set! There are not any refill options available for this set. Be sure to keep an eye out for other great products that will be sure to capture their creativity just like this set has. Wishing you all the best for a colorful future!
This kit provides hours of fun learning. My 4-year old and I spent two hours playing with it and only covered the first 5-6 experiments. Compared to other science kits, I loved that this set has everything needed for the experiments - both tools and materials. The guide is also great as it provides a lot of suggestions for the reflections and discussions of the experiments. I also loved that it's a combination of science and creativity. I would recommend it for younger kids, though, as I can see how the older ones might get bored with it. In addition, I would include toy goggles and gloves to teach kids safety when working with chemicals.
I bought this for a 7yr old for Christmas and I spoke to his Mom just a few days after and she told me that He and his Dad had alrady done over 16 of the experiments. She told me that He absolutely LOVES IT!! I highly recommend this product. Keep up the wonderful work Crayola!!!
I bought this for my grandchildren for Christmas my 9 year old granddaughter loves experiments. Very disappointing that you cannot get refills. She is already out of slime making products.
