National Geographic Crystal Growing Craft Kit to Create a Crystal Garden

We loved it! My son and I did this one and they kept growing long after the kit said they would. It was cool to watch. This was a win!

This was very fun to do with my daughter. I was very impressed to see it grow the way it did. If your tree doesn’t grow it’s because of something you did wrong . It started to grow in about 30 minutes or so now the crystals are very delicate and will fall off I enjoyed it all so thank you

This is my first crystal growing kit, so I don't have much to compare it to. The instructions seemed to be for a slightly different set, so it was a little hard to know how to apply the growing solution. But it worked mostly as designed. The colors ran and faded more than we thought they would. And the crystals are so soft and delicate they the trees disintegrated over a few days. But it works well as a combined science experiment and art project. My 7-year-old son was excited to create the first tree, but lost interest in doing the other two. Maybe better for a group of three kids to each get one tree, than for one kid to do three themselves.

Gift for a friend and their kids loved them!

The instructions were clear. The trees were easy and fun to color. The markers were not great quality. We bought 3 kits and each one had a dried out marker. The kids really enjoyed waiting for the crystals to form and watch them grow. However, the “crystals” were more like “snowflakes.” I was expecting the “crystals” to be hard but they were fluffy. My 4-year-olds enjoyed the activity more than my 6-year-old. I wish included in the instructions there was more emphasis on the science of the growing crystals. I was hoping to have made it more into a science Lesson/learning activity without having to research on our own how the “liquid” turns to “crystal”

We got this crystal growing tree kit for our 13-year-old, and it was such a fun experience! Watching the crystals form was really cool, and he enjoyed every step of the process. It’s a great mix of science and creativity, and it kept him engaged the whole time. He’s already said he’d love to do it again — definitely a win in our book! Perfect gift or activity for curious kids and teens.

This National Geographic Crystal Growing Kit is easy to do and comes complete with everything you need to create two crystal trees. You get two trays stands 2 trees, 5 colored washable markers, and 1 bottle of crystal growing liquid. The instructions are straightforward so that an 8 year old and up with supervision can easily create these crystal trees in about 30 minutes and after 6-8 hours the crystal trees will be complete. I love how this comes with a learning guide so you and your child (children) can learn how crystals are formed. I also like how National Geographic even included a Geode specimen inside. Overall a great Stem Kit that's not only educational but fun too!

My granddaughter loved it!

Great
