Comments about Toys R Us 1001325 Edu Science Do & Discover Magic Rocks:

The directions are a convoluted mess of what could be a fun experience. The last one we had was as simple as pour the mixture in a jar. This one starts with putting a piece of aluminum foil in the bottom of the tank and gets way more stupid as it goes on.

Comments about Toys R Us 1001325 Edu Science Do & Discover Magic Rocks:

I had had about enough of buying Christmas toys and gifts for the kids in my life, so I thought I'd buy myself a little treat. When I saw these, I went back to Christmases from my childhood and couldn't resist.

The tank measures 5" tall. The top is 1 7/8" x 8 3/8", and the bottom is 1 1/4" x 7 3/4", which makes it a little top-heavy.

I was a little concerned about this product after reading some of the reviews on another site about magic rock sets being sold there (different brands). I am 100% convinced that either these folks didn't follow the directions (you absolutely must follow them EXACTLY), or their kits were of the antique variety and maybe the chemicals had degraded. The set I purchased from the Toys R Us website was manufactured in June 2012, so no worries there.

It worked exactly according to specs, although some of the colors on the spires seem a bit washed out from their "pre-grow" colors.

There are a couple of cons with this specific set. First, there are some plastic "nubs" leftover from the manufacturing mold on the bottom of the tank that make it a bit wobbly. I recommend sanding or grinding them down before starting. Also, with the tank being top-heavy, so you really have to use it away from any type of play activity, and make sure the table you use is stable. Personally, the next time I buy a set of rocks and chemicals to use with this tank, I would glue the bottom of the tank to a piece of scrap plywood.

All that said, this was a very enjoyable activity to do with my 10-year-old nephew, even if I did have to constantly scold him for horsing around in the room with the rocks. I completed the activity on Saturday, 12/8, and it is now Thursday 12/13 and the rocks are still nice to look at. Only a couple of spires have broken from the initial change to plain tap water.
