I was also in charge of progress through the days and deciding when they were done. However, they can totally do a large part of the making of the crystal…just be there to help. Of course, there is a pro here as well, in that you get to spend some quality time learning with your kid!

A few drops here and there, but otherwise I feel you’ll step away from this experiment with minimal clean-up.
