How does it work?

This amazing growing alligator is really (don't tell anyone) made with superabsorbent polymers designed to absorb 150-300 times their weight in water! The small gator is only 4.5 cm long (1 3/4 inches) before you put it in water, and grows to over 13 cm (5 in) long in just a few days! Watch it grow before your eyes and learn about super-thirsty polymers along the way!

*Use purified water for best results.
