Toy Review - Thames & Kosmos, Little Labs - Weather
August 15th, 2008 | by admin |
With this kit, kids will get to investigate weather with experiments on wind, rain, storms, clouds, rainbows, temperature, evaporation, pressure, and more. I love the instruction manuals that all the Thames & Kosmos Science Kits come with. That is one of the aspects that make these such wonderful toys. The Little Labs line begins with Stepping into Science, a starter kit that covers five topics. The kit teaches science fundamentals through 25 experiments, while at the same time introducing children to the concept and process of experimentation. In addition, there are six single-topic kits: plants, physics, light and colors, animals, weather, and cars and motors. Each kit offers a handful of essential experiments.
This kit in particular, the Thames & Kosmos Little Labs - Weather, comes with a weather vane kids get to put together, a rain gauge, a thermometer and a couple of wheel charts to teach kids about the weather principles they’re studying hands-on.
My overall review: a great toy, and probably one of the more educational in this series. You can usually find one of these kits wherever best selling toys are sold for about $15 US.

None of the contacts work for your site: admin@educationaltoyreview.org is not a valid email, so I could not comment or request an ID to add reviews with. Is this site dead?

Hi Jon. It’s not completely dead, but I haven’t done much lately to really keep it alive. The admin email should have forwarded to one I do use so I’ll have to check on that.
If you’d like to help me revive this site and post some reviews I would love your help! Email me at dmoneal at gmail and I’ll create an account for you.
Cheers,
Matt
