littleBLAST, who sent me this box to review, is a subscription box company that introduces Science and Math to children and young as preschool. Each month you will receive a new BLAST with all the supplies necessary to complete 3-4 activities centered around a theme. Included in the BLAST are instruction guides that will provide learning goals, clear instructions and highlight learning points during the process for each activity. With these BLASTs, a caregiver will have the opportunity to expand the child’s vocabulary, introducing terms such as saturation, gravity, and plane structure all through guided activities. Furthermore, the child will be introduced to the scientific process, encouraging the formation and testing of hypotheses. My 5 year old love Science, so I was excited for him to test out little BLAST. Everything in the box is written and geared for children. You can buy single BLASTs, or you can sign up for a subscription, starting with a three month subscription.

C and L will work on the contest later this week. Directions All the directions to each project are on the back of the information card.
