Crystal growing: Complete with new growing methods and a wealth of materials, this<br />
set brings about plenty of creativity and possibilities! Create shimmering crystals<br />
overnight, and make your own sparkling crystal caves. Plaster figures can be coated<br />
with a magical crystals. Plus, glow-in-the-dark crystals can be made in just one day and<br />
presented in the small treasure chest to sparkle away.<br />
The instructions booklet has descriptive pictures to explain how to make these<br />
marvels through various experiments, including how to influence the size, colours and<br />
shapes that the crystals take as they grow. You can even learn how to grow them on<br />
a piece of hanging string.<br />

Triops World: Amazing! Triops crustaceans were already living on our planet when<br />
the dinosaurs were around. This experiment kit from <strong>KOSMOS</strong> allows children to rear<br />
small ‘living fossil’ crustaceans all by themselves, observing their development in<br />
detail: from egg to adult. The transparent, extra-large tank has a separate area for the<br />
eggs to hatch and also swimming areas that can be detached. It’s perfect for observing<br />
these creatures’ behaviour from up-close: as they grow, change their shells, dig in the<br />
sand and lay their eggs.<br />
By watching these creatures on a daily basis and providing regular care, children<br />
learn to be responsible for their first pets. The instructions booklet provides<br />
perfect support for rearing and caring for these ‘living fossil’ crustaceans, explaining<br />
everything step-by-step. It also includes many exciting research questions and<br />
background information to encourage children to continue engaging and observing.<br />

Microscope allows children to explore this fascinating<br />
microscopic world. Specimens can be observed with up to<br />
600x magnification thanks to the high-quality lenses and<br />
eyepieces! The illustrated instructions describe exactly<br />
how to set up this beginners’ microscope correctly, how to<br />
prepare simple objects for testing, and how to examine them<br />
with the bright-field. Budding researchers and investigators<br />
can look forward to observing magical patterns of cells and<br />
microorganisms that are impossible to see with the naked<br />
eye.<br />

In Rocky Beach, California, live The Three Detectives: Justus Jonas,<br />
Peter Shaw and Bob Andrews. Together, they are The Three ???<br />
and there is nothing they don’t take on! The three friends witness<br />
exciting detective stories, solve puzzles no matter how tricky,<br />
and can always rely on one another. It’s always warm and sunny<br />
in Rocky Beach. Not far away from this small coastal town the<br />
friend’s secret head quarter is located. They call it “Teapot” as it<br />
is an old disused water tank for steam engines and therefore<br />
looks like a teapot.<br />
