It’s a great feeling to watch a child discover something that they are interested in. We all remember as a child having an adult ask “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. We may not have known what we’d actually become but we sure did know what we liked to do. For some kids, the answer is in the field of science.
For the medical or biology minded child, this is a great gift idea. This is not something you would typically see in a store but if you know what to look for it’s easy to find a stethoscope with good qualities. The prices vary significantly but you can find them for as little as $6. For the budding medical professional this is an excellent gift idea.
For those that like the part of science that deals with the little things we don’t normally see, a microscope is a great idea. Common things like a grain of salt or a carpet fiber take on a whole new look under magnification. A microscope can open up a whole new world as your child sees microorganisms living among us. A drop of pond water becomes a small zoo of unseen microscopic creatures. This is a great place to start if your child loves science.
Perhaps your child’s penchant for science takes them out of this world. That’s no problem with a quality telescope. The science of stars, planets, and far away galaxies come to life with a telescope. Outer space adventure awaits your child as they find constellations and celestial bodies. Your child can shoot for the stars and beyond with this gift.
Perhaps your child may be more into potions, elixirs, and compounds. If so, try a chemistry set. With this, your child can literally make their own discoveries! Chemical puzzles are put together as your son or daughter mixes and matches a variety of substances. Watch as your child discovers what our world is actually made of with this gift idea.
In short, if you know what to look for it’s easy to find gifts for children who love science. A stethoscope nurtures an interest in physiology and biology, a microscope opens the world of microorganisms, a telescope lets them shoot for the stars, and a chemistry set shows them what this world is made of. The curiosity is already there. All that’s left to do is nurture it.
