BBC Earth Science of Crystal Growing Kit – Grow 3 Dazzling Crystals with Powdered Paints and Display Case, STEM Toy for Ages 12+
Grow three vibrant crystals at home with this official BBC Earth Science of Crystal Growing kit. Designed for easy exploration, it includes all the materials you need: crystal-growing powders, seeds, wooden mixing sticks, a mixing tray that doubles as a display stand, and powdered paints to color your crystals yellow, blue, and green. The paints can be reactivated with water for repeated use. This STEM kit is recommended for ages 12 and up under adult supervision.
How to grow your crystals in 5 simple steps
Each crystal takes just a few steps to start forming. First, prepare the crystal-growing solution using the provided powder and water. Then add the seed crystal and wait for the crystals to grow over several days or weeks. Once fully grown, use the included paintbrush and powdered paints to add color. The paints can be reactivated with water, so you can change colors later if you wish.
