What it is:
A home science kit that allows you to explore the world of beauty and spa treatments.
Why we love it:
Science, you may be surprised to discover, does not always need to be smelly and/or potentially explosive. It is possible for science to be good smelling, and even useful to boot, and moreover interesting to even the most girly of little girls. Young girls are often not encouraged towards science, especially those with a propensity for glitter and the color pink (fine and noble things both, just antithetical, in most minds, to science). But as we were little girls once, and like both glitter and science, we feel compelled to point out that the girliest girl in your life is probably also possessed of a curious mind, and a curious mind enjoys science when presented well. Science is presented perfectly for the girly girl in this kit, which combines all the discovery of science with the fun of spa treatments. You can create delicious bath gels, lotions, potions and shampoo, and then perform experiments on how scents affect alertness, mood and memories. It's a wonderful way to show a young girl that science need not be dull, smelly or explosive and can be very interesting.
