Here's a family of alligators that are guaranteed to grow when soaked in water! Let's hope the UPS man doesn't get stuck in the rain, poor guy, he might just have to file a weird report when the huge gator family escapes! Don't worry, they don't bite! Non-toxic and safe to touch, this alligator family will enchant scientists of all ages.

What's included?

Mommy gator
Daddy gator
Twin baby gators

How does it work?

The growing alligator family is really (don't tell anyone) made with superabsorbent polymers designed to absorb more than 150 times their weight in water! The Daddy Gator is only 11 centimeters (4.5 inches) before you put it in water, and grows to over 16 inches long in just a few days! Watch these amazing gators grow before your eyes and learn about super-thirsty polymers along the way!

*Use purified water for best results.

What does it teach?

Discover how thirsty polymers perform very important functions in everyday life. They're used in everything from baby diapers to environmental cleanup materials! Aside from their environmental and industrial uses, discover how different kinds of polymers help these "growing toys" keep their shape as they expand.
