NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Mega Crystal Growing Kit for Kids- Grow 6 Crystals with Light-Up Stand, Science Gifts for Kids 8-12, Crystal Making Experiment, Science Kit for Girls and Boys

Great crystal growing kit. We've grown some beautiful crystals!

Have only done Two crystals so far but absolutely love them!

There are some good crystals in the set in a range of colours. The light-up stand is an absolutely excellent addition. The information booklet that comes with the product is also of great quality, and clearly a lot of thought has gone into the information in and the presentation of the booklet. If you are looking to make crystals as a STEM activity, this seems to me to be the superior choice.

What a great gift! My grandson is just 8 yrs old and was amazed at the results. Excellent value for money, highly recommend.

Loved it. Now wondering how to accomofate all these chrystals

Happy with this purchase

good

Super impressed with this company - we watched videos online of what to do and the instructions we read said to remove the seed rocks after growing. Although we did this super carefully, they all broke into lots of pieces. I wrote to the company and explained what had happened and they very quickly popped a new one in the post for us - the new ones have clear seed rocks so you don't have to remove them. With great customer service I would definitely buy from this company again!!!! The new crystals we grew are very cool - they all turn out slightly differently, but that is the nature of the product and experiments in general!! Great buy - the kids (and us adults!) really enjoyed them!

Ho acquistato questo kit per i miei due bambini appassionati di pietre e minerali e regalato a Natale. Finora l'esperienza è stata davvero positiva! All'interno della scatola c'è tutto l'occorrente per creare i cristalli, oltre a 6 pietre. I miei bambini hanno apprezzato queste pietre, anche se senza troppo entusiasmo: da un lato perché hanno già una loro collezione di pietre e cristalli, dall’altro perché non viene spiegato di che tipo di pietre si tratti. Il kit è consigliato dagli 8 anni in su, ma con la supervisione dei genitori è adatto anche per bambini più piccoli (i miei hanno 7 e 5 anni). Noi adulti ci occupiamo della preparazione principale e loro ci aiutano a mescolare; un bambino più grande potrebbe invece gestire tutto in autonomia. La presenza del supporto con luce per esporre i cristalli è un'idea carina, anche se contiene solo 5 cristalli, mentre il kit permette di produrne 6 e quindi uno non viene esposto. Abbiamo deciso di crearne due alla volta, dato che i contenitori inclusi sono 2. Questi contenitori sono morbidi, il che li rende perfetti per estrarre i cristalli una volta completati. Il processo richiede pazienza per i piccoli: dopo la preparazione, i cristalli devono "maturare" per 4-5 giorni (meglio una settimana). Per ora noi abbiamo completato due cristalli e altri due sono in fase di crescita, ma siamo entusiasti del risultato! Un kit creativo e divertente che consiglio a chiunque voglia avvicinare i più piccoli al mondo della scienza e dei minerali.

This is a gift so unable to say if it performed as described, however delivery and expectations have been fully met.

Very nice kit. The light stand is also very nice. It's nice to see the crystals grow. You can do 2 crystals at once, and the kit contains 6. Expect a whole week for the crystals to grow. Kids love them!

Es súper divertido y sorprendente como se crean los cristales, a mi hijo le encanto

This was a gift for our granddaughters 10th birthday. She has become very interested in crystals, gems etc. We face timed her opening her pressie as they live some distance away. Seeing the wonderment and squeal of happiness when she realised what it was was priceless. She is now busy making her magic crystals with our daughters (her mum’s) help. The first crystal I’ve been told is fantastic so we can’t wait to hear more. A terrific present. Thanks National Geographic!
