1st Oyster Kit Received Was so impressed with our first Oyster kit. My daughter is 6 years old, and loved pretending she was a medical doctor. Lots of activities to do together. She also got to be a medical technician, dentist, and lab tech. My child needed to be watched while playing with this, otherwise she would of tore into things that were meant to be used in labs.

My children ages 6 and 9 love getting… My children ages 6 and 9 love getting their Oyster kits each month! They look forward to the new projects and crafts all while learning about different types of careers. As their mom, I love seeing their eyes light up as they explore something new and consider what it’s like to work in different careers.

Fun and Different My son (8) was excited to get the kit in the mail. When we opened it, we were a little overwhelmed by the contents, but he dove right in with some encouragement. I was hoping that this was something that he could do on his own, but it turns out that he needed assistance. There were some steps that he just couldn't get to work without help. That being said, the final product is fun and he enjoys it. I would recommend Oyster for someone who is looking for something fun and different to do with their children.

Trouble with Customer Service for Lackluster Product I had a delay in shipping my child's subscription and contacted customer service. There was no number to call so I contacted through Facebook, instagram, and their website. It took DAYS for them to respond only to tell me everything was delayed. I was really bothered that the company didn't reach out with that information when it was a sitewide thing. My child was waiting daily(for a couple months) with anticipation for this kit that was lackluster at best. The functions are remedial and my child lost interest quickly after the intial set up. In my opinion, it was not as advertised in quality or scope of interest.

Fun and Learning We just completed our second box and my daughter absolutely loved it! She was proud completing her projects and I was proud of her learning while having fun!
