Safe for Most Kids
This video is safe for most kids, but it involves a hot sugar mixture that requires adult supervision to prevent burns. The content is educational, teaching a simple chemistry experiment to make edible glass, and has no concerning themes or language.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents should be aware that this video demonstrates making edible glass by heating sugar, corn syrup, and water to 300°F, which is extremely hot and poses a burn risk if handled improperly. The video does not include any safety warnings or adult supervision reminders, so parents should supervise closely if children attempt this. On the positive side, it teaches basic kitchen chemistry and measurement skills, and the final product is safe to eat once cooled.
