Kitchen Science Kit for Kids ⋆ Parenting Chaos

Lately, I have gotten a lot of questions about how we store all of our science experiment materials. This Kitchen Science Kit for Kids is our easy solution for keeping everything we might need in one easy to reach place.

This kit sits above our kitchen counter and is stored in two main containers – a caddy and a basket. Most of these items are super easy to find at the grocery or dollar store.

When putting items into the basket I do shrink them down to smaller bags and liquids into baby jars. This way if my kids do pull out the science kit without me there isn’t a huge mess. I also keep two small pencil bags in the basket; one for crayons and one for small items.
