The Family Discovery Kit
One gift the whole family can open together. Double the supplies, double the fun, and weeks of shared, screen-free discovery.
The Family Discovery Kit is built for siblings, cousins, friends, or one truly passionate explorer. With enough supplies for a dozen experiments, it gets everyone involved in a shared, hands-on activity. Compare results, test different spots around the house and yard, and see who can grow the most fascinating microscopic masterpiece. It's a winter break's worth of curiosity, collaboration, and discovery in one box.
Great for: Family holiday gifts, multi-kid households, homeschool groups, and winter-break projects.
Every kit includes access to our Explorer Portal.
Includes WeMush tracking: Every kit includes QR codes linked to WeMush, our cultivation tracking platform. Scan them to see digital specimen records, a real-world look at how growers track their cultures.
