For her birthday, Issa received several spa science kits. At first I was a bit skeptical. Why do science kits targeted at girls have to be about beauty products? Then I saw Issa dive into them, and all that melted away. They are actually pretty cool little kits. We both learned all of the science behind manicures, but the real highlight was the perfume kit. It had all manner of essential oils, test tubes, and pipettes. The book walked her through a series of experiments about your sense of smell, and then the fun started:
Daddy coached and Evan looked on as Issa made Cleopatra's Secret and Napoleon's Gloves:
Then she moved on to making her own concoctions:
We ran out of test tubes, and because somebody has Daddy's number, she mentioned she sure would love some more science equipment. Fifteen minutes later a test tube rack, 50 test tubes, pipettes, and a real lab notebook were on their way. I promised we could go find a few more oils, and our house is about to be very, very fragrant thanks to our favorite little scientist and her discoveries.
