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.
