Who says learning has to end when the kids come home? Education is something that I have an incredible passion for, and as teacher/parent, I cannot stress enough how important it is to get involved in your child’s learning 😀 When SmartLab Toys approached me about doing a product review and giveaway, I knew that you would all love to learn more!
About SmartLab Toys
SmartLab Toys makes educational toys with a book component for kids ages 4 – 12. We believe that kids learn best through hands-on exploration, so we offer that experience wrapped up in a fun toy and a cool book.
In 2004, SmartLab started out with eight science kits. Two years later, we expanded into arts and crafts. Our roster of award-winning toys now stands at nearly 50 products that stimulate both sides of the brain.
We are guided by a desire to both entertain and educate. We like to think we hide the vegetables in the cake, so to speak. And, as our 10-year-old fan Simon says, “One thing I like about your books is they teach you stuff, but they’re not just Blah, Blah, Blah like some science books.” Now that’s success!
Unleash some serious fun with SmartLab—where toys and books collide!

My Review
I absolutely loved this educational toy! Not only was it fun to discover all the items you could “magnify”, but it was also incredibly educational! The tools are very easy to use, and the book is such an amazing accompaniment. My husband and I had so much fun teaching our oldest about bugs, leaves and more. We were all asking questions and learning! Believe me, you are never too old to STOP learning 🙂
I would highly recommend buying this product for your little scientist! They will love discovering the world around them (up close and personal) and you will know that they will be learning all the while!
