I love finding toys that are also learning experiences for my kids. My son has always been really into cars from birth on. He is a typical boy lol! So when I came across Smart Labs Toys and their Blast Off Rocket Racer I immediately thought this is something my son would love.
What is theBlast-Off Rocket Racer? Well it is a science experiment! This is the companies description of it-
Power up your Rocket Racer with the classic combination of baking soda and vinegar and let it go! Includes a build-your-own mini rocket racer, featuring sleek aerodynamic design and large wheels for speed. The racer body is see-through for a closer look at the chemical reaction in action. It also comes with a stomp-pad launcher so kids control the moment of blast off. It's available for $19.99 at Smart Lab Toys, Amazon.com and other select retailers.
My overall opinion of it was that it looked fun. I remember doing things like this in school and we loved doing them. Me , My hubby and all 6 kids of the kids went outside to play with the racer. We brought baking soda, lime juice, vinegar and soda to experiment with. Now I must say this is a little dangerous for the little ones and we made them sit way back. It was easy to figure out what do do by reading the instructions. you put the baking soda it the one side and the liquid in the car then screw it together and give it a little shake and blast off. The first time we didn't get it mixed well and it only went maybe a foot or so. The second time we used lime juice and let it mix a little better and it exploded off and went about 30 feet and then hit my bush to come to a stop but it probably would of went another 20 to 30 feet if my bushes weren't in the way. my 6 year old did get splattered with the lime juice concoction which was a little funny but we had a blast with this. I do recommend a parent do this with the kids because it is very powerful but a great learning experience and lots of fun!
