Grow your own
collection of 6 sparking crystal clusters up to 6" in diameter.
Discover the laws of nature which create crystals deep inside the earth,
and learn how astronauts grow ultra-pure crystals in the weightlessness
of space. Dissolve the Space Age Growing Crystal chemical in hot
water and pour the solution into the vessel. Let it cool down to
room temperature and after just a few hours crystals will start to grow!
INDIVIDUAL CATEGORY RATINGS

The Space Age Crystal Growing Kit is
designed for kids 12 and up - so that should tell you
right there this is definitely an item that you'll want
to be cautious with and work with your kids on it.
The instructions are clear, and the crystals really do
grow - which is super-cool. With chemicals and
with hot water you'll want to make sure your kids are
careful - and we recommend if you don't do the project
with them yourself, you'll at least want to keep a close
eye on them. |

We found no durability issues per
se, the only problem that we found that falls into this
category is that once you create the six crystal
clusters you are finished. The Space Age Crystal
Growing Kit does fall into the educational or science
side of toys, so that is often the case, but you'll want
to know going in that the kit has a finite number of
uses. |

Five stars just isn't enough!
We were amazed at how cool the crystal looked throughout
the growing process and when completed. And we're
sure you and your kids will be too! The Space Age
Crystal Growing Kit has an awesome look! |

This is a tough category to rate
because on one hand we were really pleased with how well
the kit worked and how large the crystals grew. On
the other hand, as we mentioned before, once you finish
growing the crystals, the kit is complete, and you won't
necessarily be able to use it again. |
|
|
With a recommended price point of
$24.95 the Space Age Crystal Growing Kit is certainly on
the affordable side. As always, our target price
for gift giving is right around the $20 mark, and this
comes in just above it. |

Dating back to our days in science
class, growing crystals (at least the sugar kind) was
one of our favorite experiments! To have the
chance to grow crystals that are brighter, larger and
more colorful, and to be able to do it all from home was
something that made a great impression on us! We
loved it - and loved the way Kristal Education took a
fun science experiment, made it better, and provides you
with the tools to do it at home! Nice originality! |

We really enjoyed conducting
more fun science experiments with the Space Age
Crystal Growing Kit. The first two important
details are that the directions are easy to follow,
and the crystals really grow! Next, pricing is
better than fair, so if you have a child interested
in science this makes a perfect gift. You'll
want to know going in that eventually you'll run out
of crystals and that this is a project you'll want
to do with your child. If you can handle those
two minor details, you'll love this kit! |
