The Science Toymaker is a fun , non-commercial website that offers plans to make fun, mysterious toys and projects that in turn encourage scientific investigation.

The website states:

All science toys and projects:

• are accessible (so cheap to make that nobody is excluded because of cost, and they don’t require special skills, tools, materials, or work facilities beyond a kitchen.).
• have a “more about” page with explanations, related activities and high quality links for further research.
• have clear step by step directions with lots of pictures. They have been thoroughly tested to work, yet also have the potential to be improved by creative inventors and tinkerers. Most project instructions have been improved by helpful feedback from people like you, and some projects are entirely the work of guest authors. Contact me
• have a “science toy video preview” where you can see and hear the finished science toy in action (not all projects have this yet)
