DIY Magic Growing Christmas Tree

The DIY Magic Growing Christmas Tree is a small paper tree from Boltwright that grows its own snow-like crystals. You stand it in a small pan, add the growing solution, and over the next several hours crystals form along the branches until the tree looks frosted with snow. The growing happens on its own, so kids can set it up and check on it through the day.

The tree is made of paper and measures about 14 x 7 cm (5.51 x 2.76 in), so it is a desk or shelf decoration rather than a room-filling tree. It comes in four crystal colors: colorful, green, white, and purple. The growing chemical is non-toxic, colorless, and tasteless, but it is not edible, so the tree is for display and not for eating.

Once the crystals form they are delicate, so keep the finished tree somewhere it will not be knocked or handled. At this size it works as a stocking filler, a classroom or rainy-day activity, or a small seasonal gift for kids.
