4M Deluxe Crystal Growing Combo STEAM Science Kit

Great crystal growth kit with a lot inside! Good directions and packaging. The crystal look great and your kid will not be disappointed. Be aware that kids need an adult to help with this as it's not something they can do on their own safely.

Fun and interesting. I especially like the geode crystals. They turned out pretty well.

This is a wonderful big deluxe crystal growing kit. Has everything you need. A few things to keep in mind. This kit takes time and by time I mean a week or more. It is advised to start the mixing process with very hot to boiling water. The first step only comes with ONE cup. The first step alone takes a lot of time. So if you have multiple kids you will need more cups. Once passed the first step, you then pour each into the display cup. A bit of a mess. We have a cat so we were very careful of the clean up. We stored each cup in a closet shelf so our cat could not get into it. In the end it was indeed very cool to experience the start to finish. But... You and the kids involved will need A LOT of patience.

I received the Steam Crystal Science Kit. This kit contains ingredients for making Crystal Geodes, Glow in the dark crystals and flower shaped crystals. I will note this kit says ages 10 and up. However I did together with my 9 year old and it was okay. I think the danger are the chemicals are smaller children, but I have nitrile gloves already in my house so I felt confident that my child could do this experiment as long as I was helping. I think the biggest downfall to this is it really takes a long time. I suggest doing it in stages. Get all the stuff laid out and be sure to protect your table and clothes, because the colors in these have a tendency to stain. I first have them get the work station ready and then let the water come to the right temp. So this would be good for a day where you have multiple times during the day to work on this. The end result is good! However it takes at least 15 hours to see some of the crystals take place, they also will keep growing if you leave it in there longer. So this project would be good for the child who loves the science and technology which my daughter loves it. I like that there are multiple crystals in here and we did a few at a time to see how they each grow in different ways!

I would highly recommend this crystal growing kit. My son was able to grow up to 7 crystals in different colors (red,blue,glow in the dark etc.) with ease. If the instructions are followed carefully you can see the crystal grow overnight. We really enjoyed doing these together and admiring the finished product. They also come with little display cases. Overall, I'd reccomend.

I was suprised how big this set is. I have only made one crystal with my little one. We had a great time together and are looking forward to making more during winter break. I love science and it was so fun sharing my love with the little ones as well as fostering a love of science and creating something. This is a great STEM or STEAM activity. This is a great way to spend time with your kiddos in an engaging learning activity.

This set is so neat! While it's intended for people over 10 years old, I let my almost-six-year-old grow a few crystals (with my assistance). He had a blast! He really enjoys projects where he can grow things, so this was right up his alley. The look on his face each time he saw growth was just priceless. Growing all of the crystals at once might be a little bit overwhelming for younger people, so I would recommend choosing one or two to start. Overall, I would most definitely recommend this kit to anyone who wants something fun to do.

The Deluxe Crystal Growing Combo STEAM Science Kit is excellent for kids to learn patience, temperature and mixing. It comes with an instruction booklet for the different types in sizes of crystals, individually packed chemicals to mix and the containers they go into plus little spoons so you get the exact amount in each scoop. Now in addition you will need a thermometer to test the temperature in the water and the room temperature is also a must cause that will depend on how the crystals form and survive. It's not a fast growing kit and patience is definitely needed and a cool safe place to stow away after mixing everything. I'm still waiting for mine to form but it says it usually take 7 days and depending on environment. Instructions are easy to follow. I wore goggles, mask and vynil gloves for safety which were purchased at the dollar store.

I decided to get this STEAM crystal science kit because I believe that when kids learn hands on it helps them to be more interested and helps them understand better. This kit is great it has all you need, you just need to follow instructions and be patient. Definitely for older kids and or kids that can understand time.

This crystal set needs 100% adult supervision and help as all steps require boiling water. It's very neat watching the crystals form (which takes 5 to 7 days) but again an adult has to do all steps and the kids are basically just waiting around to watch. Instructions are complicated. It took me and my teenager reading them it seemed like hundred times and then we still weren't sure we made the mixes right. The ages recommended are for ten and up, I agree and would not get this for any kid less than what they recommend.
