A backlit science experiment that resulted in stunning nighttime lighting.

My son got such a cool present. He grew the most amazing crystals. The growing time was about a week. Then we pulled out the amazing crystals and placed them on the LED stand. The stand with LED light that turns it into a night light is the icing on the cake of the finished product. I am a professor of child development and would heartily recommend this to any child as a gift to stimulate their mind and start scientific research! I love it! My son loves it!

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Adult supervision required! The base is in trouble!

He did not like using very hot water, so adult supervision is required. The finished product looks great! The base is a problem though, as the headlights won't work unless the cable 'jiggles', which isn't the best scenario. When I turned the headlights back on today, they became turn signals. I've requested a replacement, so I'll probably update later. Update: So I got another device and guess what, the base doesn't work, does the exact same thing as the previous base! So the crystal was madeโ€ฆ

Pros
  • The best
Cons
  • Periodicity

An amazing educational gift for very young and not so young children!

Surprisingly good kit! My 8 year old daughter and 3 year old son really enjoyed doing this and seeing the results! We followed the instructions exactly and everything worked great. The photos have flash and no flash so you can see the base effect. And the glowing base is a great finishing touch. A few helpful tips: - Don't let the crystals grow over the surface of the liquid, the tops will crust - Add a little more water than necessary, but not much (partly to prevent the above) - Give itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Listed

The mini explorer lights up the crystal set!

I didn't have the opportunity to help make all the crystals, but tried one to make sure it worked. In less than twenty-four hours, the crystals formed beautifully! My son is delighted and two more will be launched later today. Just make sure you boil the water :) My kid got a random, different brand for Christmas and it didn't work as intended and he was frustrated. To be honest I think it was my fault because I didn't boil the water long enough and it looked like fluffy crystals. In any caseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Makes a crystal but read the full review!

I bought this for my 8 year old son. He wasn't very interested to be honest so I went ahead and showed him the process and he started to think it was cool. He loves the end product. I left it in the shower for a week longer than suggested because our crystals weren't yet out of the water, and once they were I poured out the water and let it dry in the cup for about 2 days. I did all 3 at the same time. I have followed the instructions. Worked great! I always have disposable gloves with me atโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Almost never
