Jumbo Test Tubes With Stand - 6 Piece Set

Let your early years scientists mix, pour, and investigate with confidence using this set of 6 Jumbo Test Tubes with Stand. Designed for ages 3–7, these oversized plastic tubes are just the right size for little hands. Whether you're mixing potions in a tuff tray or investigating how things float and sink, these tubes are ideal for EYFS science and Understanding the World activities.

Each 100ml tube comes with a brightly coloured screw-on lid—red, yellow, orange, green, blue, and purple—making it easy to organise, sort or assign to different children. They're tough, lightweight, and made to withstand real scientific curiosity (and a bit of enthusiastic shaking). The included storage stand keeps the tubes upright and easy to access during science activities or investigations.

These test tubes are brilliant for messy play, water play, forest school setups, and even early years topic ideas like Under the Sea, Weather, or People Who Help Us. Children can compare quantities, observe changes, and practise scientific enquiry skills—all while having a blast.

A great addition to any EYFS investigation area or outdoor classroom, they’ll help foster children’s natural curiosity and build confidence in observation, prediction, and collaborative learning.
