Science Toys for BoysMost boys love doing science experiments and figuring out how things work. Buying science toys for boys can be both a fun and educational experience for not only them but you as well.

Aquasaurs have existed for over 350 milllion years. The kit includes the habitat, aquasaur eggs, and
food. Retails for around $25. Recommended for ages 6- 15 but I bet kids as young as 3 or 4 would
appreciate it as well.
Exploding ThingsBoys will be boys and they love things that explode or blow up. Here's a couple of fun and inexpensive science toys that do just that!
Volcano Making Kit  - This kit has every thing boys need to build their own volcano. Once they have built it,
all that is needed is some baking soda and vinegar to make it erupt. Kit includes volcano mold,
plaster, stir stick, paint, and a paint brush. Retails for under $10 and is recommended for ages 7 and
up but younger kids will enjoy this too.
Be Amazing Geyser Tube Card  - An easy way to implement the famous mentos and coke experiment. This kit includes the
mentos and an easy to use geyser tube that makes it easier and less messy to get the mentos into the bottle
of soda. Kit doesn't include cola, you have to provide your own. Retails for around $6
RobotsRobot loving boys would certainly love to build their very own robot. Here's a couple of inexpensive and fun kits for creating robots.
Robot Duck Kit  - This Robot Duck Kit is simple enough that even younger kids should be able to put it together
with minimum help from mom or dad. Once put together, the robot waddles around like a duck.
Finished robot is about 4 inches and 2 AA batteries are required to make the motor work.
Frightened Grasshopper Solar Powered Bug  - Create a solar powered grasshopper with this robot kit. Put your little robot bug
together, stick his solar cell on, and then take him outside and watch him jump around in the sun. Also
works under bright lights indoors. Teaches kids about solar energy while providing a fun project for
them at the same time.

Great Science Resources for Kids:

- We got this for our six year old after he had a blast making his own circuits at the local
Science Center. This kit allows kids to make 101 projects. Probably one of the most fun science
toys out there for boys and reasonably priced too. Snap Circuits also makes bigger kits including the
300 and 500 kit. If you aren't sure how much your child will enjoy this toy, I recommend starting with
the 100 because you can buy add on kits to upgrade.
- Another fun science kit for boys is the Disgusting Science Kit. This one is geared toward
ages 8 - 12 and contains experiments that most boys in this age group will love including making fake blood, a
stinky intestine, and learning what causes certain body funtions.
- Kids get to be mini paleontologists with this kit from Scientific Explorer. First they
excavate their dinosaur skeleton then after they classify their findings they can build a model out of their
dinosaur. Retails for around $20 and recommended for ages 4 - 8.
