Why it works
Growing a crystal teaches something few toys teach: how to wait. You prepare the mixture following the illustrated manual and then watch each day how it is coming along. It includes the raw materials needed, and the instructions are in Spanish. It costs little and leaves something pretty on the desk.
Our verdict
It suits curious children aged 8 to 11 who know how to wait. If they want instant results, an excavation kit is better.
