We want to share some fun little gifts for spring basket items that work for kids of a wide range of ages. These super fun Easter basket stuffers will keep your kids busy for weeks after baskets have been opened!

Jumbo Magnifier

An extra-large magnifying glass will put science 'on the big screen' for your younger kids. If you're a teacher, hand out the Jumbo Magnifier as a spring gift to introduce scientific exploration and investigation! Be sure to tell your students that this is a tool that real scientists use! This Jumbo Magnifier is perfectly sized for small hands and is ideal for an up-close look at crawlies, rocks, fabrics, and more.

Each aquarium has a vented lid and built in magnifiers. You also get water purifier, instant live eggs, food, and instructions. The best part? Your sea monkey pets can live up to two years!

hand boiler Hand Boiler

Another classic! Our hand boiler is a great science toy for teens and grown-ups, and a fabulous demonstration of energy transfer. Holding the lower bulb in in your hand causes the liquid inside to boil, shooting into the top bulb as a result. The hand boiler is an excellent Easter gift for ages 14 and older.

Ooze Labs 9: Glowing Galaxy Slime

Parent Review: "This was a really fun experiment, and as a parent I loved that the mess was contained to the tube and a cookie sheet we used as 'backup' for any mess created. The kids loved it!" This introduction to the world of slime makes a fabulous Easter basket filler for kids ages 7 and up.

Primary Science Big View Bug Jars

These rainbow-colored jars are topped by "ladybug wings" that open and close, inviting little learners to observe insects. When the wings open, a 3.5x magnifying glass is revealed. A screw-on cap and built-in air vents keep your captured critters safe and secure. Don't forget to free your bugs once your investigations are complete! Primary Science Big View Bug Jars are fantastic Easter basket stuffers for preschoolers and children ages 3 and up.

I Dig It! Rocks and Fossils

Who knew you could hold a geological expedition in the palm of your hand?! Each one of these fun excavation blocks contains a real mineral or fossil specimen. What a fun surprise! Which one of the specimens will be uncovered? Use the included tool to dig in and find out. I Dig It! Rocks and Fossils can also fit in larger Easter eggs and are great Easter egg fillers for kids ages 5 and up.
