As an ex-teacher, I love giving my kids gifts that make them smarter.

Gifts that pique my children’s interest, their curiosity and their desire to learn and explore the world around them.

I want to raise scientists, even if they don’t become scientists by profession.

I want my kids to question and ponder and experiment. I want my kids to look at the world around them through scientists’ lenses: microscopes and telescopes and magnifying glasses.
