Discovery Polymer Lab: The Future of Goo

Posted by Joel Johnson, November 19, 2007 3:59 AM | permalink

Kids' toys that make goo aren't new, but the Discovery Polymer Lab takes that age-old tradition to its nerdy conclusion, teaching kids about long chain molecules and the physics of slime. Ingredients are included to make distinct slime, ooze, and foam from water and powder. Plus it's got the Kid Frankenstein mad scientist look down pat. (Or perhaps less gothic than jet aged. Maybe "Young Rusty Venture, Boy Scientist"?)

It's $40 from the Discovery Store, plus shipping.

There is literally the exact same toy being sold as the "Goo and Slime Maker" under the Mad Science brand. Mad Science is an international company that provides science enrichment programs for grade school kids. They just launched their toy line this year. Their version of this toy is available at Toys R Us for $29.99 with free shipping. The toy is also present at toyquest.com, but I'm not sure if they're the manufacturer or just a distributor.
