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.
