Crystal growing that's as cool to look at as it is a cinch to do, this kit creates four tree-like crystals in the colors of the spring, summer, fall, and winter. After setting up each tree in its stand, all that needs to be done is mixing the crystal powder with warm water and pouring it into the stand. As the crystals grow, they'll mix with the color in the tree branches, forming crystalline leaves that depict all four seasons. With just those couple steps and finished growth within hours, this is just a pure, simple crystal growing experience that requires little effort and no mess. For these reasons, it would be easy for younger kids to complete on their own, too! Crystal tree bases measure about 4.5 inches tall. Kit includes 4 plastic tree-stand dishes, 4 tree bases, 4 packs of crystal powder, and illustrated instructions. ~ Janine

The grown crystals complete the image of the paper shapes, whether it's an exploding volcano, leaves on a Giant Sequoia, or colorful coral on reef stems. Each kit includes one or more plastic petri dish bases, paper shapes, crystal mixture, and illustrated instructions. These simple projects are so fun, mesmerizing, and educational—creating a wonderful activity for students and families alike. Completed structures are approximately 3 – 6 inches tall, depending on if the project includes only one, tall structure or several shorter ones.
