Grow Your Own Geodes

No reviews

A simple, hands-on crystal science activity that turns clean eggshell halves into tiny, colorful geode-like formations.

Ingredients

  • Epsom salt
  • Hot water (handle with care)
  • Food coloring
  • Clean eggshell halves

Instructions

  1. Dissolve the Epsom salt. Add Epsom salt to hot water and stir until it dissolves.
  2. Color the solution. Add a few drops of food coloring to the salt solution and stir gently.
  3. Fill the eggshell halves. Carefully pour the solution into the clean eggshell halves.
  4. Leave the shells undisturbed. Set the filled shells in a secure spot and let them sit while crystals form.

Notes

The shells may be fragile, and loose crystals or salt solution can make a mess if they’re handled roughly.
