I appreciated the detailed description
I appreciated the detailed description, I knew I was getting a floor model and it came in perfect shape at a much reduced cost. When I thought the cupholders weren't included, I reached out to them and then we found them and they were very responsive and thankful that I let them know. Everything is fine.
Thank you!
Thank you! Great prices and great items.

Couldn’t believe how good the condition was.
Would recommend
Already told two friends about Kidsy.
Good experience
Item arrived just as described. Couldn’t be happier.
Quick response
Ordered a gate prior to this one, UPS lost it on route. I reached out to Kidsy via email and they secured a refund from UPS. Was hesitant to order again, but I couldn't find the gate at a more reasonable price. 2nd order arrived with no issues. Gate is sturdy and the dog (Husky) hasn't gotten through it (he's an escape artist). Quick delivery from start to finish.
Love my stroller
Love my stroller. Great deal and great service.
Worth it
Got a like-new monitor for under $50.

Kidsy Customer Service Review
Kidsy had a great selection of deeply discounted baby gates. Unfortunately, there was a piece missing when I received my package. I didn't realize it until after the 14 day return/exchange window. But I reached out, and they were willing to send me the piece anyway at no extra charge. I really appreciated the customer service.
Great product
I was impressed with the shipping and the item I got looked brand new. Great product and I’ll be ordering again.

Q&A
7 answered7 Questions Answered
4 high confidence · 5 web-sourced
How many times can each experiment be performed with the quantities included (e.g., how many uses of instant snow powder, hydrophobic sand, and red cabbage indicator)?
This kit includes just enough reagents to practice each experiment about one to two times before you run low. [1] The hydrophobic (“magic”) sand is a reusable solid you can dry and use again, so that demo can be repeated more times if you collect and reuse the sand. [2] The red-cabbage powder is a small indicator packet (typically a few grams in these Blue Marble/National Geographic kits), so you’ll usually make one small batch of indicator (50 mL or so) — enough for the color-change demos once or twice depending on how much you pour. [3]

- [2]Science Fun — DIY hydrophobic sand (notes that hydrophobic/magic sand can be poured off and saved for reuse).
- [3]Blue Marble / vendor catalog (lists red cabbage powder as a small packet ~5 g and shows typical indicator preparation guidance).
product_description/brand product page (ThinkBlueMarble) with supplementary references on hydrophobic sand reuse and typical red-cabbage indicator usage
Are the chemical powders (citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, red cabbage powder, instant snow powder) pre-measured into single-use portions, or will an adult need to measure small amounts for each experiment?
The kit includes the powders but they are not packaged as single‑use, pre‑measured packets. It supplies enough loose material to practice each experiment once or twice and the illustrated guide lists the small quantities for each step, so an adult should measure and portion the powders during the experiments. [1]
brand product page (ThinkBlueMarble / Blue Marble product listing for National Geographic Magic Chemistry Set).
Does the kit include safety warnings and clear adult-supervision recommendations for experiments using these chemicals?
This kit includes an illustrated experiment guide, a pair of cotton gloves, pH indicator paper and chemical powders (citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, red cabbage powder, instant snow powder, hydrophobic sand). [1] The online product listing does not display explicit safety-warning text or a clear adult‑supervision statement, so we recommend adult supervision for any experiments with the included chemical powders and that you use basic safety precautions (gloves, eye protection, work on a covered surface).
brand product page (Blue Marble / Think Blue Marble product listing).
Is the instant snow powder non-toxic and safe for incidental skin contact or accidental ingestion, and are there any allergy warnings?
We include instant snow powder (a super-absorbent polymer, commonly sodium polyacrylate) in this kit. This material is generally considered non-toxic for incidental skin contact but is not edible — avoid inhaling the dry powder and keep it out of the eyes; rinse and seek medical care if ingestion or persistent irritation occurs. The kit does not list common food allergens, but sensitive skin can react to powders, so supervise children and follow the included safety instructions. [1][2][3][4]
Sources
Blue Marble product page; safety guidance from Poison Control and manufacturer SDS (instant-snow / sodium polyacrylate)
What are the exact quantities (grams or ml) of each consumable included: instant snow powder, hydrophobic sand, red cabbage powder, citric acid, and sodium bicarbonate?
We don’t publish exact gram/ml amounts for the consumable powders in this National Geographic Magic Science Kit; the product page and the included experiment guide list the items but not their weights. Comparable Blue Marble / National Geographic chemistry kits list approximate packet sizes so you can expect something like: red cabbage powder ≈ 5 g, citric acid ≈ 25–30 g, sodium bicarbonate ≈ 16 g, hydrophobic (magic) sand ≈ 15 g, and instant-snow powder varies widely (stand‑alone instant‑snow kits are reported at ~117–175 g) — these figures come from retailer/manual listings for closely related National Geographic kits and may not match the exact batch in your box.

Does the illustrated experiment guide include clear learning objectives, step-by-step safety tips, and suggested follow-up activities or explanations tied to STEM concepts?
This kit includes an illustrated, kid‑friendly experiment guide that gives easy-to-follow instructions and explains the science behind each magic demonstration; the set also ships with gloves and the tools needed for safe handling. The product listing describes explanations of scientific principles tied to each experiment but does not explicitly state that the guide contains formal learning objectives, a dedicated step‑by‑step safety checklist, or separate suggested follow‑up activities.
product_description; product_features
Are there instructions for safe storage and disposal of leftover chemicals and used experiment waste (for example, disposal recommendations for instant snow or solutions made during experiments)?
We include an illustrated experiment guide in the kit, but the product listing and guide don’t spell out detailed chemical storage/disposal procedures. [1] For safe cleanup: treat instant “snow” (sodium polyacrylate) as a dry solid—sweep it up, seal it in a bag/container and put it in the household trash; hydrophobic (“magic”) sand solids may also be disposed with regular trash while dilute liquids can be rinsed down the sink with plenty of water; and small amounts of citric acid or baking soda solutions may be neutralized and disposed per local rules (use pH paper to confirm neutralization).
