Pre-Packaged Gross Science
We have this squishy human body set and the boys love playing with all the organs! It can be a bit to tricky to put them all back into the body, though.
This Gross Science Lab kit has 26 experiments for kids, including a motorized toilet bowl mixer!
Grow Your Own Praying Mantis Kit: Â We love doing butterflies and have even done ladybugs (which were a little on squeamish side for me). The thought of ants in my house, even if they’re contained, makes me squirm. But praying mantis’s take the cake for being the grossest insect to watch grow in your house. Blech.

Thanks for including my skin layers cake. This is such a fun list! Shared on FB and Pinned.
Thanks so much, Julie!
What an awesomely disgusting post. Your blood sensory bin is one of my absolute favorites and I cannot believe how gross that skin cake is. Thanks for including my brain surgery grossness :)
Thanks so much (I think). ;)
Hi! This is so COOL! My kids will love it. Thanks for sharing! ;)
When I was a kid, when we did the egg experiment, we also put a chicken bone in each of the chemicals. By the end, we could literally bend the bone like rubber because all of the calcium leached out. It was a great explanation of why calcium is so important for our bones!
That is a great idea!
