Now this is a super cool thing for the school holidays.

I love doing these quirky home science experiments. They usually work and are usually so interesting

Looks complicated, but worth a try.

lol my daughter and i tried to make this before but ours never worked. We never had to use borax though. I might give it a try again because i remember doing this experiment as a child and it was cool.

Looks great. No I have never grown my own crystals.

Seriously? This is great. My son is really into crystals and rocks so I can imagine is excitement at making his own.

Wow what a fun idea.

Wish I’d known how to do this when I was at school.

My daughter would love to do this, and in several colours. But where you do you buy borax from?

Cool !! I’m sure my kids would be intrigued !

Love doing this as a child and had forgotten about how it was done.

It is beautiful!

Please be aware that borax is very toxic. If oyu let the children help you, make sure they are wearing gloves and don’t touch it with bare skin at all.
Having said that it is really pretty.

I love the blue shade you got.

Growing your own crystals would be alot of fun!

This sounds awesome. Will try it on the next holidays

Thanks for an activity that we might not have thought of doing during the next break.

This looks like lots of fun for children.

Great activity to get the grandchildren into doing. Thanks for sharing.

how awesome is this, off to give it a try.
