The Amazing Crystal Garden - Grow Your Own Crystals Kit

The Amazing Crystal Garden – Grow Your Own Crystals

Watch a miniature crystal garden take shape with The Amazing Crystal Garden. This grow-your-own-crystals kit offers a hands-on way to explore crystal growth at home, turning rocks into a delicate display that develops over time. Add food colouring as directed to create your own colourful crystal garden.

How Your Crystal Garden Grows

Following the instructions on the reverse of the box, place the rocks in a small dish and add enough distilled white vinegar to just cover them. Keep the dish in a safe place in a warm room and watch for the first signs of growth. The packaging advises that crystals may begin growing within two days, but can take up to two weeks.

Once a good crop of crystals has formed, but before all the vinegar has evaporated, a drop of your chosen food colouring can be added to the vinegar. Use separate dishes for different colours. Do not top up the vinegar. After it has fully evaporated, leave the rocks and crystals for a further seven days to dry and harden, then handle them carefully.

What You Will Need

• A small dish, or separate dishes for different colours.
• Distilled white vinegar.
• Food colouring if you would like coloured crystals.
• A safe, warm place where the garden can remain undisturbed.

Have these household supplies ready before starting, and follow the full instructions and safety advice on the packaging.
