Galt Toys, Horrible Science - Creepy Crystals, Science Kit For Kids, Ages 8 Years Plus

What a great kit for just over 6 pounds, was great for us during isolation. The creepy tree looks beautiful and grows within hours so you see the effect same day. The brighter your pens the more vibrant your tree and remember to colour both sides of branches so they match. We put this out the way as if knocked or touch the crystals fall off. The other two experiments are taking their time to grow which is fine as its something we can check on now and again. The ones in the round bottle are looking fabulous fabulous the bottle magnifies what is inside. Not sure about the limestone crystal yet, it looks like a creepy growth at the minute. However it is interesting all the same. Great kit full of facts and advice within the instructions.

Grandson was happy,

Description didn't state that a microwave is required for this experiment and we don't have one.We've done many crystal growing experimenting in the past and this is the first time a microwave is required along with much more little bits and pieces like containers , malt vinegar, felt tip pens...

This box has 3 experiments you can do to create different type of crystals. All need a few additional items, which can be easily sourced but to avoid disappointment Thinking everything is including in the box, I would read the instructions before u planned to to the experiment so you know you have them at home.We only did 2 which were really fun to do. I think all age children and even adults will enjoy these experiments. The tree one is absolutely beautiful! Looks like crystals but to touch it’s soft it’s really fascinating! When colouring the branches use high pigmented feltips pens and colour well, this will definitely give stronger colour on the crystals when they brunch out. And also make sure to colour both sides. The second experiment was the bottle crystal one whivh is really very pretty. Does take some time to prepare but worth the fun.Institutions are easy to follow. I would highly recommend this! My 9 year old son loves it!

what a lovely little set with lots inside to complete 3 experiments!Creepy crystal experiment where crystals start appearing on the tree within hours is by far the most exciting of all.The only downside is that the card tree gets soaked and can not stay up once the crystals are big so it fallen over at the end which was a shame as otherwise we would have kept it for a bit longer but ended up throwing away after 2 days hence the 4 stars!but my 6 and 3 year old loved the process and the instructions that go with it are really easy to follow and very kid friendly!
