WHAT'S IN EVERY MAKER KIT

  • Progressive labs — each one builds on the last
  • One topic, deep — saponification, combustion, emulsions, surfactants…
  • Real product at the end of each lab — kids keep what they make

What homeschool parents ask before they pick a topic.

Recipe Box = the full 12-month curriculum across all 12 topics, monthly delivery ($540/yr). Maker Kit = 12 weeks deep on ONE topic ($175–$300). Maker Kits are great for a semester unit, a co-op block, or trying the format before subscribing to the full year.

Most families start with Soap (the most-loved hands-on lab) or Candle (real combustion chemistry). If your kid is into beauty or skincare, Face Care or Beauty are strong picks. The 4-year ladder is a guide — you can pick in any order.

Every kit ships with 3 age-banded workbooks: Explorer (4–7), Discovery (8–11), Mastery (12+). Your 5-year-old, 9-year-old, and 13-year-old all do the same lab — at three different depths. Same kitchen table, same hour.

Yes — Maker Kits are ESA-eligible in AZ, FL, TX, UT, and WV. We provide the invoice format each state requires. Stack 2 kits per year (~$350–$600) and you've got a full science credit.

No. Every Maker Kit includes all natural ingredients, supplies, the parent guide, 3 age workbooks, and online video walkthroughs. Just open and run the lab.

12 weekly labs, about 1 hour each. Most families do one lab per week — but you can compress it into a semester or stretch it across a school year.
