Scientific Explorer Disgusting Science Kit
Seems like a pretty good time to, as Scientific Explorer's Disgusting Science Kit puts it, "Educate your child on what actually grows on their own body." You know, bacteria. Mold. Coronaviruses that are going to kill Nana and Pappy.
For kids 8 and up, the Disgusting Science Kit is a fun way to teach your little petri dishes about body parts, byproducts, and the biological functions that make them little petri dishes. It comes with everything you'll need to create a stinky intestine, some slimy snot, and fake blood, plus instructions on how to grow friendly molds and bacteria.
In addition to a fun bit of STEM learning, the experiments and activities in the Disgusting Science Kit might also leave your children with a new appreciation of good hygiene practices, such as handwashing, mouth- and nose-covering, and not eating their own boogers.
But probably not.

Experimenting with Babies
Nope, Experimenting with Babies is not a Carps & Angsty Manatee card. Nor is it, to the disappointment of at least one Amazon reviewer, a book of "information about surgical experiments intended to transform the baby...

Barn Owl Pellets
Barn owl pellets are the results of barn owls wolfing down their food without chewing it enough. Just like I do. But unlike me, the owls do not have cast iron stomachs that can digest the fur and bones of the little rodents...
