Thames & Kosmos Ooze Labs Colorful Crystal Lab Kit & Lab Setup – 11 Sparkly, Safe Experiments

Set out the Thames & Kosmos Ooze Labs Colorful Crystal Lab and unlock a miniature world of crystals. This complete station invites hands-on exploration with a compact, science-ready setup: a stable lab base, clear beakers, test tubes, a petri dish, precision tweezers, a centrifugal spinner, a translucent display dome, and a stash of safe, non-toxic crystal salts. As colors shimmer and crystals begin to appear, you’ll sense the thrill of discovery while developing attention to detail and patience as you monitor growth over time. The included stickers offer a playful way to personalize your workspace before you begin.

Bold, colorful crystal adventures

Grow crystals in multiple shapes and settings—on a paper cone to form a crystal volcano, along a rock to yield long spindly formations, in a shallow petri dish by evaporation, or suspended on a string in a solution. The kit features three different chemicals that yield distinct crystal geometries, inviting you to observe how composition influences structure. You’ll also learn to blend colors by mixing solutions in the spinning centrifuge, producing vibrant reds, pinks, blues, purples, and clear crystals.

• Monopotassium phosphate, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and potassium aluminium sulfate create varied crystal structures.
• Color by mixing centrifuge solutions to create red, pink, blue, purple, and clear crystals.

Learning that feels real

Children witness how crystals form in controlled experiments and in nature, bridging observation and explanation. The setup nurtures curiosity, visual pattern recognition, and the sense that science unfolds in real life. The hands-on process makes abstract ideas tangible, while safe practice encourages exploration with supervision. In addition to the base kit, the stickers add a personal touch that can spark ongoing experimentation sessions. You can reuse the station with common home materials—table salt or alum—to extend play beyond the included salts.

• Safe, non-toxic materials support supervised exploration at home or in the classroom.
• Stickers for decorating your base station personalize the space and invite ongoing experiments.

Extend your Ooze Labs universe

When you’re ready, the Colorful Crystal Lab station can stand alone or be integrated with other Ooze Labs kits, such as Chemistry Station, Soap & Bath Bomb Lab, or Alien Slime Lab. Mix and match to build a larger, modular science setup that grows with your interests.

What makes this kit special is not just the crystals you see, but the process you observe—the way a solution changes color, how crystals emerge from a saturated mix, and how different shapes respond to cooling, evaporation, or planting on a string. It’s a playful, tactile doorway into the science of crystallization that families can enjoy together or that curious minds can explore on a weekend project.
