Thanks Jenn.
We have tried growing crystals, but they didn’t end up looking like yours.
It did take a few attempts and a lot of patience.
I love growing crystals! I had to do it a few times too! We did our crystals for earth day with blue and green pipecleaners in the shape of an earth. Fun stuff!!
oooh that sounds great!
That looks like fun. I want to try the candy cane goo. : )
