Magic Garden
This crystal kit appeals to children's sense of wonder. Amazingly,  the garden of paper trees and grass becomes a lush oasis of blooming crystals  within 10 hours. The tree branches turn into puffs of pink cherry blossom  crystals, the green stalks of grass sprout daffodil and tuliplike blossoms.  Even the looming mountain in the distance grows a glacier of sparkling white  snow crystals. The set includes a tray for holding the origami-like paper  scene, as well as all the tools for making the paper garden come to life.  This makes great entertainment for children of all ages, although children  under 8 years old may be too young to help assemble this delicate paper scene.--Gail Hudson
