Editorial Reviews

Review

“Emma makes science easy and fun! This is a wonderful new book to get kids thinking about science whilst doing what they love best: making and eating treats.” ―Maggy Woodley, founder of Red Ted Art

“What better way to learn about cells, plate tectonics, freezing point depression and more than to spend an afternoon cooking, learning and snacking on the results? I can’t wait to share it with my kids!” ―Ana Dziengel, founder of Babble Dabble Do and author of STEAM Play & Learn

“This is not your average science experiment book. It’s hands-on science presented in a unique and fun way―with food you can eat!” ―Trisha Stanley, founder of Inspiration Laboratories

From the Back Cover

Now, kids can have a snack while learning a thing or two about science with Emma Vanstone?s edible science experiments. Curious kids will learn about liquid density by making layered popsicles, simulate how earthquakes affect buildings on different kinds of foundations using Jell-O and brownies and give their engineering skills a go by building bridges out of egg shells. Parents can rest easy knowing that their kids are learning and indulging their inquisitive natures using safe materials. Each experiment investigates and explains a different scientific principle using ingredients found right in your kitchen. And the best part is that after kids have built up an appetite exercising their scientific muscles, they will already have a snack just waiting to be eaten. Vanstone is the creator of the award-winning blog Science Sparks, which has over 334k followers on social media. She is also the author of This Is Rocket Science. This book features 60 experiments and 75+ photos.

Great photos and instructions, lots of materials needed
The idea behind this book is interesting. Some of the experiments are regular recipies and the author has called attention to studying a particular attribute of the ingredients, such as chia seeds creating a gelatinous substance in chia pudding. Or the experiment may require observation of an action, dropping buttered toast on the floor to see which side lands up. Other experiments call for things you may not have on hand, e.g. a chocolate mold, gelatin leaves, various extracts, multiple brands of ketchup, small candies, etc. And some recipies use food to create scientific models, such as cupcakes with their icing decorated like an animal cell. Based on its contents, the book seems most approperate for kids ages 4-12 with parental supervision.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
Like any mother these days, we are spending a lot of time trying to find things to do with our kids to engage them without electronics. We know that we have created little monsters (well I have anyways). When I saw this book, I HAD to have it. I knew that it would be so much fun. We spend Saturday and have picked out one recipe to make each week. Which of course will give us over a years worth of things to make. My kids have had so much fun getting to help me in the kitchen and have a learning experience all at the same time. I would HIGHLY recommend this book! It would be great for teachers as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars So beautiful, easy to understand, hard and easy activities, and you can eat the fun!
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2019
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This book is going to be integrated into my homeschool program, and is just the perfect and fun science activity book to have on hand. This is because you use food and edible products to make the projects. These are science based projects, and that is just perfect for us. We looked through the book and have picked out several activities to begin with. They all seem pretty easy to do and the ingredients are not too hard to get or have on hand. Some activities are more complex than others. I like having options that are quick and easy and some that may take more time such as the layered earth cake. The book itself is a paperback and easy to open and use and does not fall back shut. The illustrations and photos are beautiful, and the instructions well laid out and easy to understand. My son is excited and he is ten. I would recommend this.

What a great book! If I could give it more stars, I would. Wonderful experiments, both easy and difficult and some in between. The instructions are very easy to follow and it has nice photos. You probably have a lot of the ingredients already in your kitchen. It is such a fun way to integrate science with food and then you get to eat it! Such a cool book for kids and adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun little activity for many ages
Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2019
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This was a HUGE success with the kids, one 10 and one is 5 years old. The 10 year old boy tried to be cool, you know, too old to do “little kid” stuff like this (it really is for any kid, except the very young). He “had” to help little sister, because she wasn’t old enough to read the experiments/recipes. He had a ball doing the things with little sister though, he truly enjoyed it in spite of being “too grown up” for this. Really a cute concept that I think a lot of kids in different age groups will enjoy. Some will need help depending on age, but my grandkids had a blast even at such different ages.

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2019
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This is the coolest books. I love books that turn education fun and that is exactly what this book does. What I find unique about this book is that we've recently experimented with a few of the things in it. That or something similar. We've recently learned about the butter on bread, though ours was peanut butter. We also learned how bananas can help ripen green tomatoes. This book can be so appealing to the young mind that not only wants to know but also wants to feel, taste, and smell. You can use all 5 senses with this book. I love it and can't wait to try out more within these pages.

Snackable Science Experiments by Emma Vanstone is a book that I wish I had when my children were young. We used to do STEM/STEAM activities before that was a popular trend. Now, I’m excited to pass the fun onto my grandchildren! Enticing pictures, detailed instructions, learning points and more fun to have with each experiment are included on every activity. This book offers many ways to celebrate everyday science fun and also ideas for holidays, such as the gingerbread house activity. An extremely fun way to learn, create and share, 5 stars!

I have followed Emma's Science blog for years and have done many of the experiments listed, but these take science, activities and fun things to do with your kids to a whole new level. I wish I'd had this book when I was a kid. My Dad was a scientist so chemistry sets and science experiments were a big deal and it's something I've tried to carry on with my own kids. STEM activities are all the rage and are a great way to get both boys and girls into STEM. Not only do kids learn while doing these, but they get a tasty and fun snack at the end too. Love this book. A Must for Any Inquisitive kid.
