Get ready to stretch, squish and spark curiosity. The brand-new Science Museum Materials Science range is here – an exciting, hands on collection of science toys that combine sensory play with real scientific discovery. Developed under license with Funtime Gifts, this collection is built to wow kids and kidults.
This isn’t just slime, it’s science you can touch. Packed with colour, texture and surprising transformations, the range explores everything from gravity and polymers to non-Newtonian fluids and chromism (that’s colour changing to the rest of us). Each toy is designed to turn everyday science into jaw dropping, joy sparking experiments.
“From bouncy ball making kits that harness the power of polymers to revealing chromism through colour changing putty, every product includes fun, digestible explanations of the STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering and Maths) principles at play”
From bouncy ball making kits that harness the power of polymers to revealing chromism through colour changing putty, every product includes fun, digestible explanations of the STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering and Maths) principles at play. It’s science you can feel, see and do, and that’s what makes it memorable.
The new range includes slime kits, putties, crystal-growing kits, make your own bouncy balls and the iconic springy, all backed by the Science Museum’s official STEM badge. This trusted mark means every product is educational, exciting, and rooted in real science.
Perfect for kids aged 5+, but with strong crossover appeal for teens, tweens and nostalgic grown-ups, Materials Science taps into the booming kidult trend with brainy toys that don’t take themselves too seriously. Whether it’s for after-school fun, rainy-day experiments, party bags or even your office desk, there’s a science toy here for everyone.
Early listings include Menkind and top independents, with more to follow. The range is set to shine through summer, back-to-school and the gifting season.
Smart, slimy, and scientifically backed, Materials Science delivers big learning through brilliant play.
