Butterfly EduFields 517 Girls' Science Kit, 150+ Experiments and Volcano Mold

For kids ages 8 and up who want to explore science by doing, the Butterfly EduFields 517 kit brings together hands-on materials and a booklet featuring 150+ experiments. Its activities span science and STEM, with a volcano mold, colors, measuring tools, and other components for creative exploration. An illustrated manual helps kids follow each activity step by step.

The essentials

The standout feature is the bonus booklet with more than 150 curated science experiments. That breadth gives young learners plenty of different activities to explore, rather than centering the kit on a single project. The included instruction manual supports each experiment with illustrated guidance, while the measuring cups, measuring spoon, test tube, stirring stick, and tray provide tools for working through activities.

The components encourage a mix of measuring, mixing, observing, and making. The kit includes a volcano mold, three food colors, a soap base, baking powder, corn starch, snow powder, and mango and strawberry food essences. Four face masks are also listed among the components. Together, the materials offer several ways to turn a science activity into a hands-on project, with room to make predictions and compare results as children work through the experiments.

The kit is intended for ages 8 and up and is presented for girls ages 8–12. It measures 10 x 5 x 1 inches and weighs 700 g. For families choosing between a collection of individual, one-off activities and a broader experiment kit, the 150+ experiment booklet makes this set a natural fit for varied at-home science sessions.

Everyday use

This set works well for an afternoon activity at home, a rainy-day project, or a science-themed birthday gift. A child can choose an experiment from the booklet, gather the relevant materials, and follow the illustrated steps. The measuring tools and tray help organize the hands-on part of the activity, while the range of listed ingredients and the volcano mold support different kinds of projects.

The focus is on active learning: making predictions, observing what happens, and comparing results. Those skills are also identified as learning goals for the kit, so the activities can connect play with early scientific reasoning. Buyers have described the kit as enjoyable and giftable, some also mention that children stay engaged with its projects. Feedback about value for money is mixed, so the clearest reason to choose it is its broad collection of experiments and included activity materials.

How to use it

Start by choosing an experiment from the bonus booklet and reading its illustrated instructions. Set out the materials needed for that activity, using the measuring cups, spoon, test tube, stirring stick, or tray as directed. Food colors, baking powder, corn starch, soap base, snow powder, and the other listed ingredients are included for the kit’s experiments, follow the instructions for the activity you select rather than combining materials at random.

As the project progresses, encourage the child to make a prediction, notice the changes, and compare the outcome with what they expected. This gives the activity a clear learning purpose without taking away from the fun of making something. The booklet’s large selection also makes it easy to choose a different project for another session.

Final verdict

The Butterfly EduFields kit is suited to kids ages 8 and up who enjoy creative, hands-on science activities. Its 150+ experiment booklet, illustrated manual, volcano mold, and practical measuring tools give families a ready framework for exploring projects at home. It makes sense if you’re looking for a gift that pairs engaging activities with opportunities to practice observation, prediction, and scientific reasoning.
