    This was a birthday gift for a friend. They were super excited to get this and showed tons of interest to do this with their parent. All the kids at the party were also excited to see the toy and expressed interest in it.

    This kit worked as advertised. Thank you. The crystals are very fragile and many of them fell off after a day or so. It introduced the term crystal to our 5 year old granddaughter.
