    5.0 out of 5 stars Really good 20 Nov 2010
    By Paul
    Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
    I have tried this toy with my kids because my mum got it for them. I think this toy is really good, because after about 20 mins small things were foriming at the bottem of the jam jar. Says that it includes everything but you need a jam jar. Still very good. The instructions are a little hard to understand so i think that an adult is recommended to help their child when they do this. Includes lots of experiments.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for boys of all ages!! 30 Jan 2009

    Durability: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
    Got this for my partner for Christmas because he never had one when he was a child and he's really enjoyed making them and I'm sure children would as well.
    It's perfect for either just some fun or some more serious experimentation. Includes everything you need and is great value - much better than the kits that grow overnight on a sheep or something and are only one colour. This kit has loads of colours, but they do take around a week to grow fully. Also comes with a handy display table
    Overall a great buy and very fun

    4.0 out of 5 stars Crystal Growing Kit 9 Jan 2011
    Amazon Verified Purchase

    A lot of kit for the money. Before you go out and buy one check the age range of the product. Some of the chemical's can be hazardous and in the mixing process you need to heat on a stove. Good fun but slow.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of stuff but not everything, and but poor instructions
    Pros: lots of salts in different colours. Cons: not clear that you need a "jam jar" from the outset. This is a hassle and we don't normally just have them lying around. Read more
