Ages 10+
Grow your own sparkling crystal and create a magical unicorn wonderland with the 4M Crystal Growing Unicorn Crystal Terrarium.
Combining science with creativity, this hands on crystal growing kit lets kids watch their very own crystal form over approximately 4 to 7 days. Once grown, they can decorate the display with the miniature unicorn and flowers to create a colourful terrarium to keep and admire.
Part of 4M’s range of educational science kits, this activity brings STEM learning to life through a fascinating experiment kids can see develop day by day. Each crystal grows differently depending on the experimental conditions, making the finished terrarium completely unique.
