About this toy

Crystal Garden lets children grow their own coloured crystals at home and see a chemistry process happen slowly over several days. The child mixes crystal powder with hot water (an adult pours the hot water), places a stone base in the tub and waits. Over one to two weeks, crystals form and grow on the stone in seven colours. The illustrated guide explains in simple words why crystals grow, why their shapes are regular and how scientists use crystals. There are suggestions for small experiments too, such as comparing a warm room with a cool room. The finished crystals can be kept in the display case that comes in the box.
