Learning Resources Beaker Creatures Lab Set

Product Information

This is a cute toy range that will really appeal to kids but doesn’t have much longevity without improvisation or purchasing many additional Reactor Pods. First we popped a Beaker Creature Reactor Pod in the plastic beaker then pushed down the plungers that we had pre-filled with water to fill the beaker. Then, extract your creature and see which one of the creature collectibles you discovered - there are more than 100 surprise collectibles to collect!

Then it's time to push down on the plungers and watch as the water flows through the tubes and into the main chamber to reach the Reactor Pod and start the reaction!

Joshua loved it for the little creatures he gets to keep at the end, for the fizzing and the bubbling over! The pack includes a classification card for each creature to identify them and two mini-posters with science facts and fun images to extend the learning.

Beaker Creatures is where crazy alien collectibles meet fun, real-world, smart science experiments children can do in their own home laboratories using household ingredients. Each creature has a name and there are six to collect in each family, along with some limited edition gold variants. Sure, there won’t be a plastic monster inside but that’s only one part of the fun and my son quickly relegated his Beaker Creatures collection to a cupboard anyway. This crazy creature twist on the classic erupting volcano turns opening your beaker creatures pods into an experiment.Any kids with an interest in STEM, chemistry, and aliens/monsters will particularly love Beaker Creatures. The recommendation is from age five plus (there’s a lot of very small parts) but kids from well-supervised toddlers through to even some high schoolers will probably enjoy these sets. I recently was introduced to a new range of toys that would be perfect, Beaker Creatures from Learning Resources.

Discover more about our brilliant bodies with this range of fun and educational toys and gifts inspired by Operation Ouch! The Beaker Creatures Reactor Pods are effectively bath bombs containing a plastic capsule inside which is hidden your collectible creature. I gradually moved our Beaker Creatures experiments from the kitchen counter to the kitchen sink and then to the bathtub – if only to make cleaning up easier.

I would personally avoid the Magnification Chamber as there’s just not enough in that set to justify the cost, the Bio-Home is very cute if your child wants to display their new creatures somewhere but it too is likely to end up at the back of a cupboard – my son lost interest in displaying his Beaker Creatures fast and now only plays with the Super Lab at bath times. Each set also includes a classification card to help identify your creature, and a mini-poster filled with cool quiz questions inspired by real-world science facts.
