Beaker Creatures is a new line of science-themed collectibles from Learning Resources that combines the thrill of collecting with hands-on science experiments that build early STEM skills and spark curiosity!

The Beaker Creatures Liquid Reactor Super Lab lets kids reveal one of 35 creatures from mysterious Reactor Pods. It also doubles as a working lab set, complete with included science experiments that encourage more hands-on learning.

Kids will love the collectible element and action of the science set. Mom will love that Beaker Creatures is founded in real science, from the bubbling Reactor Pods to the classification cards that help children identify the species they have uncovered.

Beaker Creatures' hands-on science fun is the perfect way for kids to have a blast this summer while staying engaged with learning.

Studies from the National Summer Learning Association show that kids who aren’t involved in educational summer activities will lose up to 3 months of academic progress. Fortunately, the Beaker Creatures are here to stop the summer slide!
