The Heebie Jeebies Growing Crystals Test Tube turns real chemistry into a kid-friendly STEM activity. This beginner crystal growing kit lets young scientists mix the included crystal powder with hot water, set the solution in the test tube, and watch colorful crystals begin to form within hours. It’s an easy, low-mess way to introduce core science concepts like saturation, bonding, and crystal formation, all through hands-on play that actually grows something they can keep and display.
Each tube includes crystal-growing powder, a crystal “seed,” and simple step-by-step instructions so kids can grow their own unique crystal cluster. Colors are assorted, making them fun to collect and line up on a shelf like a mini science lab. The compact format makes this set perfect for rainy days, school projects, party favors, stocking stuffers, or starter STEM gifts. Recommended for ages 5 and up with adult supervision, the kit encourages observation, patience, and curiosity, no batteries required.
Heebie Jeebies brings science to life through hands-on experiments and curiosity-sparking discovery kits that inspire kids to explore the world around them. Designed to make learning fun, Heebie Jeebies products combine real scientific principles with interactive play, helping children build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. From growing crystals to building rockets and exploring chemistry, every kit is crafted with safety, quality, and excitement in mind, encouraging young minds to ask questions, make discoveries, and think like real scientists.

Is this a real crystal growing kit for kids?
Yes. This is an actual hands-on chemistry activity. Children mix the included powder with hot water, set the crystal seed, and watch real crystals begin to form in the tube within about 12–24 hours.
What age is this crystal kit recommended for?
The kit is generally recommended for ages 5 and up with adult supervision. Because it uses hot or boiling water at the start, an adult should handle heating and pouring for younger children.
Does it require batteries or electronics?
No. This science kit is entirely reaction-based. There are no LEDs, motors, or batteries to replace, and no chargers or cables to manage.
How long does it take for the crystals to grow?
Most families start to see visible crystal growth in about 12–24 hours. The structure continues to build and harden as the solution cools and evaporates.
Can kids keep the finished crystal?
Yes. Once the crystal has formed, it can be removed and displayed. Many parents choose to seal the finished crystal with clear nail polish to help preserve its surface.
What color crystal will we get?
Colors are assorted. Each tube is packed with a single color, and part of the fun is collecting different shades to build a mini “crystal lab.” You may receive duplicates when ordering multiples.
Is this good for school projects or science fairs?
Absolutely. The kit demonstrates crystallization, saturation, and molecular bonding in a way that is easy to show and explain, making it a great choice for classroom demos, homeschool lessons, or science fair displays.
Is this messy?
Setup is simple and contained in the test tube. Kids should work on a protected surface and have adult help with measuring and pouring hot water, but ongoing mess is minimal once the tube is filled and left to grow.
Is it safe?
When used as directed with adult supervision, it’s designed for young experimenters. Keep all powders and solutions away from eyes and mouth, and do not allow children under 3 years to handle small parts. Always supervise use of very hot water.
Does this help with STEM learning?
Yes. The activity encourages curiosity, patience, and observation while introducing real chemistry concepts. It’s a screen-free way to explore science, ideal for kids interested in hands-on experiments and discovery-based learning.
