Folks, welcome to Wishlist After Dark! Today your kid grows their very own crystals, right at home. It's the National Geographic Mega Crystal Growing Kit! Hey everyone, I'm Penny. With me are Marty Dazzle, a fox who has never once lowered his voice, and Sunny, who's been wagging since soundcheck. Hi everyone! Sorry, I just can't stop looking at those glowing crystals. Thanks, Penny! Folks, this is the perfect gift for curious kids ages eight and up who love science and rocks.

Ooh, and Marty, here's the fun part. There are six crystal colors, and kids grow them in two silicone growing chambers. Six colors! But wait, there's more. When they're done, they go up on a light-up display base. Oh, picture it glowing on a nightstand! And it comes with real specimens too. Look at this list! Hold on, Sunny. Real rocks, or the plastic kind? Real ones, Penny! Here's how the listing puts it.

Okay, Sunny, so how fast do these beauties grow? Three to four days, Marty. So every morning there's something new to run and check on! Okay, the honest part. Buyers say it's a waiting game, and results depend on following the guide closely. So no shortcuts? None, Marty. Buyers also say younger kids will want a grown-up helping, so plan on pulling up a chair. Folks, that's a science project you do together, with a glowing prize at the end!

And buyers love it, Penny! Look at this: 4.6 stars from more than 13,000 Amazon ratings! Fair, Sunny. I say eight point oh, Marty says eight point eight, Sunny eight point four. That's an After Dark Score of eight point four, tied with magna-tiles on our board of sixteen toys. Buy it for your patient little scientist! The link's on our site and in the description. See you next time!
