Mad Scientist School

Grow crystals, or grow ants. Whichever one you choose, the outcome is going to be pretty cool.

Imagine: a future where humanity lives among crystal palaces. Imagine: a future where humanity fights for survival against giants ants. ONE OF THESE PATHS AWAITS US AND TODAY YOU MAKE THE DECISION WHICH WE FOLLOW.

Buy the Space Age Crystal Growing Kit and start the thirteen sparkling crystals on their way up the multi-colored LED crystal display base. Of course, for now, they'll only get around 8" in diameter, but it'll spark your child's imagination. And a decade later, your child will fire up the beam that sends the unnerving "crystal energy" out into society... changing our world forever!

Or, perhaps you'll buy the Ant Habitat. Your child will help a tiny eco-system begin, with itty bitty plants and a team of ants (well, a voucher for them, anyway) that will soon devour and flourish on the included ant gel. A decade later, they'll have mastered the power of cybernetic communication and be able to command the tiny creatures, giving them the power to march upon all the leaders of our planet and steal their secrets... changing the world forever!

Or you could not pick one, and the world would stay pretty much the same. It hasn't been good lately, has it? Yeah, exactly. What have we got to lose?

Kristal Educational Space Age Ant Habitat

Recommended Ages: 7+ Years

  • Create a living ecosystem derived from NASA space experiments
  • Requires virtually no maintenance
  • Tiny plants on the top help balance and maintain your tiny eco-system
  • Unlike other ant habitats this one uses a space age see-thru gel
  • The gel has been specifically designed to provide nutrition to the ants
  • Comes with a redeemable online voucher number to receive ants via the mail, or you can simply catch them yourself
  • LED base lights require three AG13 button batteries (not included)
  • The lights can also be powered via USB

Follow the simple steps to create a tiny eco-system:

  1. Create gel
  2. Sow seeds for plants
  3. Catch the ants (or use the included online voucher)
  4. Release the ants inside the habitat
  5. Observe and Thank Ants, Thants!

Ant Pro Tips:

  • When your plants reach the top of your ant habitat, and they begin to wilt a little, then it's time to move the plants and ants outside to their natural habitat (sorry, you can't keep them forever, but you can re-use the ant habitat)
  • Use a mounted narrow spotlight or flashlight aimed at the gel, and you can influence the tunnel design, as the ants will follow the light through the clear gel. Get creative, and move the light around to make a picture.
  • Be sure to read the directions thoroughly when putting your ant habitat together.
