Growing Alligators
We've found the world's best growing alligators!
Usually ships out the next day.
Recommend for 4 years & up with adult supervision.
Deal of the Day
It took us two years of testing, but we found the world's best growing alligators! Then, we tweaked the polymer formula and made these growing gators even better. These little buggers are so good that we even supply them to other science companies.
The gator starts out only 11 centimeters long (4.5 in). Place the creature in water and watch it grow to an amazing size of almost 41 cm (16 in) long. Recommended for children ages 4 and up.
See the Growing Alligator Science Project to learn how to use this simple science toy to create a great science fair project.
What's included?
- Large Growing Alligators in your choice of quantity
How does it work?
Growing creatures are made out of a superabsorbent polymer that soaks up water. The polymer is similar to the non-toxic chemical used in baby diapers. Don't overlook the educational value of these inexpensive toys.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.Product FAQ
- How big do they get?
They grow to an amazing 40 cm (16 in). That’s about 4 times their original size!
- How do they compare to your giant creatures?
These large growing gators don't start out as large as the ginormous creatures, so they don't grow quite as large either.

Alligator revived!
Peggy Grijalva - May 10, 2011
I purchased alligators along with the snake, the frog and the lizard for our church camp last year (June 2010). The kids in my class had a wonderful time watching them grow and measuring them daily. After camp, I let them dry out (about 2 weeks)and put them away to use this year. They are definitely reusable and I plan use them in my class again this year! |

Growing alligator is a disappointment
Tom O'Hara - November 21, 2010
It grows slowly and then falls apart. It decomposes and pieces continually fall off of it. We only tried one. Then threw it away. The other one will be played with but not in the water. We won't even try the other "growing" creatures we bought, as we don't want them to fall apart. |
