The Jungle Crew Lab Set is a

great way to introduce early

learners to science concepts

through hands-on experiments

and play. Introduce the set by

showing and naming each tool

with your child. Encourage your

child to explore and play with

the lab tools on his or her own.

When your child is ready, use

the activity cards and help him

or her to perform the easy-to-

follow experiments. Some extra

supplies are needed to complete

the experiments, and adult

supervision is recommended.

Hand wash the tools with soapy

warm water after every use.
