Mixing, measuring out, trying again - that is what the Cosmetics Laboratory from Clementoni is about. It belongs to the Wetenschap & Spel LAB range and lets a child put together perfume, cream and lip balm, using the scented ingredients in the box.
The method is set out in an illustrated manual that explains step by step what goes into what. Your child works with bottles, pots, an atomiser and spatulas, and sees the difference between two doses straight away in what they are holding. For many children it is the first time that 'a little more' has a visible consequence.
It is a box for a child who likes being busy with something for an afternoon and does not want to be finished after ten minutes. Whatever comes out fits in the pots supplied, so it is kept or goes out of the door as a small present. The packaging states 8+; made in Italy.
As a birthday present it does its work: one box, many afternoons, and something to hold at the end.
