Fun Science Stocking Stuffers

Description

Our Science Stocking Stuffers are just the perfect gift this holiday season for kids who love science! Spinz Cars defy gravity by flying up to 20 feet in the air after collisions, archeology kits allow kids to dig up glow-in-the-dark items, and Morse code sets let kids release their inner spy. Speaking of spies, Klutz’s Ultimate Invisible Ink Activity Book or the Spy Labs Invisible Ink Pen and UV Light Kit could also be great choices!

Outdoor enthusiasts can learn 44 different knots with the Camper’s Knot Tying Game or enjoy blowing (and catching) bubbles with the Uncle Bubble Catch and Stack Magic TestTube! And if you want a more classic bubble blowing experience, Bubble Tree Bubbles are reusable bottles that are made to be refilled.  Tiny Terrariums, a Pet Tornado, Colorful Crystals, and a Crystal Hedgehog are also exciting and educational options that kids are sure to love!

But don’t worry, we also have options for the kids who still want candy in their stockings! Let Santa bring them unique options like Astronaut Ice Cream (who can resist freeze-dried mint chocolate ice cream?) or candy-making science experiments. Science can be fun with these exciting hands-on Christmas Stocking Stuffers!
