Craft Around the World: Coral Reef

Explore the science of coral on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef with this grow-your-own crystal set that mimics the way coral develops in the world’s oceans. Put together and color two 3-D frames, then add a special solution that transforms into beautiful crystals!

While your coral grows, dive into a pen pal letter from traveling adventurers Sam and Sofia. They’ll introduce you to the wonders of Australia and show you how tiny underwater creatures called polyps build huge coral reefs that host thousands of species. Then get to know more about the land down under with a booklet filled with activities and fun facts. Once your crystals have grown, display them in your room to make an underwater wonderland!
