I didn't have high expectations - but this crystallisation kit worked quite well in the end. Just follow the instructions and you can't go far wrong. It takes about a week before the crystals are large enough to be harvested. The larger pot takes a few days longer. The mix colour crystals gave nice results. Its a fun way to get kids interested in basic science. The age indication is for 14 & upwards, but I think this would be more more interesting for the 10-12 age group. Not a bad kit overall.

First thing read the instruction. These do work best when using freshly boiled water, distrurb as little as possible, don't keep in a room too hot or too cold I did two of these kits and one during heat wave didn't work as well. The crystal climbers it's best to take out rather than push back in. Make sure u don't ignore them as I left for 2 hours and they took over in the heat. When the crystals are to size drain the liquid don't wait for all the liquid to evaporate. Wear gloves when handling the crystals. Work out what colours you want before you start as the seed crystals come with just enough so big crystal is one pack, so don't use all one colour of want different shades or colours than white, red and blue. Or as my first one white, red, blue, purple and one was red,blue and pink. It's a great kit to do with kids but maybe have adult mix, handle and display and let kids watch then grow and in display case ( maybe tape the case or could drop on floor and break (yes I dropped few b4 taped them)

The kit worked really well and the kids were delighted to see the crystals grow. The little tubs double up as display cases, which is cool, although they’re made out of really flimsy and surprisingly sharp edged plastic. Also be careful when picking them up, as the bottoms fall out - for this reason it drops a star. Overall though very happy and good value.

A wonderful activity to do with the children. It is necessary to scrupulously follow the indications of temperature, measurement, timing, etc. The result is wonderful and can be obtained in 6 days. Every day it becomes interesting for children to control the growth of the crystals, they can be illuminated with a flashlight to see them inside the liquid. The important thing is to leave them still in a safe place.

This is a great Crystal making kit. We’ve had others in the past which have been basically just crystallised salt and the end product has been less than impressive. These on the other hand actually grow to look like real crystals. Niece was very impressed and I’ll be buying another for my daughters birthday

Santa gave this to my daughter. You have enough resources in the box to make one large, two medium and four small crystals. There is 3 colours provided on the box, red, blue and white, however the instructions give you mixing gudiance for more colours. Easy to follow guidance. Was very impressed how easy it was. Good results (only make one so far).

This is a awesome product...these grew very nice a good size in only 7 days sitting by the TV. In the light not a lot of heat as it is winter and we are electric heat. These are medium. They had a lot of growth crawling up the sides, the white rings did not help that fact. Do not break the growth off the edges on to the growing crystal. It just builds up and takes from the beauty. I did and had to clean it all out of the blue one with a toothpick. They are pretty with the sun shining on them. Do not dump the juice from these down the drain. Soak it up in paper towel bag it and toss it in the garbage. It will continue to grow in the dark in your drain. I read that in another review. I do recommend...
