National Geographic Crystal Reef Coral Growing Lab

Kids will grow crystals on 6 paper coral shapes. The play pattern is the same as our Crystal Garden & Crystal Forest.

First, kids will color each paper shape using the included watercolor pens. These colors will determine the color of the crystals that grow.

Each kit will contain 2 Carnation Corals, 2 Staghorn Corals, and 2 Brain Corals.

Crystals begin to develop within minutes and each coral will be fully covered in as little as six hours.

Also comes with a real geode specimen.

SCIENCE ANGLE: Kids will learn about crystal growth, the function of coral reefs in nature and the importance of coral reefs to ocean ecosystems.

Suitable for ages 8 and above.
