DS still enjoys reading the MSB books occasionally, although he's mostly beyond them in what he wants to know (about the subjects he's really interested in, anyway). Our DS loves to come around to his MSB books still. That's why they haven't been donated yet.

DS saw the Smithsonian Volcano kit a few days ago when we were at the Scout store, and immediately asked for it for his birthday. Do you have any in particular that you'd recommend?

DS5 was excited at first, but it turned out to be pretty basic, and he was very disappointed with the easy-cheesy experiments. There are all things you could do at home, with common household products, and he was expecting more science magic than watching mold grow on a banana (which he'd already seen before!). IMO, not worth the money. Then again, you just aren't going to get a really cool science kit these days anymore; no one wants the liability!
