Bring the excitement of a science lab home with the CrunchLabs Elephant Toothpaste Blast STEM Science Experiment Kit for Kids. Inspired by the famous elephant toothpaste experiment, this hands-on STEM kit lets young scientists create an exciting towering foam reaction while discovering the chemistry that makes it happen.
Part of the CrunchLabs by Mark Rober toy range, the kit is designed to turn scientific concepts into memorable hands-on play. Kids combine the provided experiment materials according to the instructions, trigger the reaction, and watch as a large amount of colorful foam rapidly forms and expands.
Beyond the impressive visual result, the experiment introduces children to concepts such as chemical reactions, catalysts, decomposition, gases, and exothermic reactions, encouraging curiosity and an interest in chemistry.
Product Features & Main USPs
Create the Famous Elephant Toothpaste Experiment
Recreate one of the most popular visual chemistry experiments with a kid-focused kit designed to make science exciting and approachable.
Big, Exciting Foam Reaction
Watch the ingredients react to rapidly produce an impressive eruption of foam. The dramatic result gives kids an immediate and memorable demonstration of chemistry in action.
Learn Real Chemistry Through Play
The experiment provides an opportunity to explore important STEM concepts, including:
- Chemical reactions
- Catalysts
- Decomposition reactions
- Oxygen production
- Reaction rates
- Exothermic reactions
- Observation and experimentation
- Cause and effect
Hands-On STEM Learning
Rather than only reading or watching a science experiment, children participate in preparing and conducting it themselves under adult supervision. This hands-on approach encourages questioning, prediction, observation, and discovery.
Designed to Make Science Exciting
CrunchLabs focuses on transforming STEM concepts into entertaining experiences. The dramatic foam blast provides the "wow" factor while giving parents an opportunity to discuss why the reaction occurs.
Experiment, Observe & Discover
Kids can observe how the ingredients behave before, during, and after the reaction, helping develop basic scientific thinking skills such as making predictions, observing changes, and discussing results.
Great Introduction to Chemistry
The kit offers a fun entry point into chemistry for children who may be encountering concepts such as catalysts and chemical reactions for the first time.
Inspired by Mark Rober's Approach to STEM
CrunchLabs was founded by Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer and science creator, with a focus on making engineering and science entertaining, accessible, and engaging for children.

Important Safety Information
This product is a science experiment kit and not ordinary sensory foam or bath play. Children should conduct the experiment only under appropriate adult supervision and strictly follow the included instructions.
Do not substitute household chemicals or increase ingredient concentrations unless specifically permitted by the manufacturer. Avoid contact with the eyes and mouth, do not ingest experiment materials, and wash hands thoroughly after completing the activity.
Conduct the experiment in the location recommended by the instructions and protect surrounding surfaces as necessary, as the foam reaction may create a mess. Keep experiment ingredients away from younger children and pets.
Use only the materials, quantities, protective equipment, and procedures specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
