Terms & Conditions for Hiring the Science Workshop Materials: Squishy Circuits

1. Overview

Thank you for choosing the Squishy Circuits kits! These kits are designed to provide an amazing STEM experience that kids will love. With your help in taking good care of them, we can keep these workshops running smoothly and ensure many more children enjoy the fun and creativity they offer. We can’t wait to hear the fantastic feedback from your crazy and wacky Squishy Circuit experiences!

2. What’s in Each Kit?

Each Squishy Circuits kit includes:

1 x Plastic power pack with 4 x AA batteries

3 x 7 oz tubs of playdough

6 x LED lights

1 x Playdough mat & 5 x A4 project sheets

1 x Switch

1 x Small motor

1 x Buzzer

1 x Playdough cutter / roller / shaper tool set

1 x Numbered, coloured ziplock storage sleeve

3. Using and Caring for the Kits

Handling Playdough:

Please remind children not to mix the playdough colours. We know it’s tempting when using the tools, but ask the kids to carefully mould individual colours and only combine them when assembling their designs. This helps preserve the playdough for future use and makes it easier to separate colours when packing away.

Special care should be taken with the white non-conductive dough to keep it from being contaminated with other colours.

LED Lights:

The LED lights have thin, delicate legs. Please encourage the children to handle them gently and avoid bending them too far, as they can break.

Power Packs and Batteries:

Only teachers should change the batteries. The plastic battery packs can be delicate, and forcing them open could cause breakages.

4. Returning the Kits

We appreciate your help in keeping these kits in good condition for future workshops. When packing up, please:

Storage Bags: Place all parts in their correct ziplock bags.

LED Lights: Scrape any playdough from the LED legs to prevent rusting.

Mats and Tools: Wipe the playdough mats and tools to remove any leftover dough.

Cleaning Fee:

If kits are returned in a dirty condition, an $80 cleaning fee will apply to cover the additional cleaning time and materials.

5. Damages, Loss, and Replacement Costs

We understand that accidents happen! If any parts are damaged or lost, we’ll need to charge for replacements to keep the kits ready for the next workshop. The costs are:

Power Pack: $20 each

LED Lights: $2 each

Playdough Container: $4 each

Buzzer: $15 each

Small Motor: $25 each

6. No Deposit Required

There’s no deposit required to hire these kits. However, if any items are damaged, lost, or returned in poor condition, the appropriate charges will apply.

7. Safety Considerations

To keep things fun and safe, here are a few important reminders:

Playdough is not for eating. Please supervise younger children to avoid accidental ingestion.

The legs of the LED lights are sharp and may cause minor skin pricks if pressed too hard. Please remind children to move them slowly and handle them with care.

8. Agreement to Terms

By hiring the Squishy Circuits kits, you agree to take care of the materials, follow the return instructions, and cover any costs for damage or loss. We’re excited to share these kits with you and look forward to hearing all about the amazing projects your students create!

Outdoor Area:

• A suitable outside area is necessary for some slime-making activities.

Cleaning Facilities:

• Due to the nature of the activities, a designated location for cleaning tables and the children’s hands is required. Easy access to taps and toilets would be an advantage.

Duration:
