Why we like it

Amazon still has tons of National Geographic playsets, and they make incredible last-minute gifts. (They’re also super affordable; I bought, like, five of them for my nephew for Christmas.)

For example, the National GeographicJumbo Crystal Growing Kit is only $12.99, down from $16.99. This kit comes with everything your little one needs to grow their very own crystal. According to the manufacturer, this crystal growing kit produces a crystal three times the size of the standard crystal kits. Plus, it glows in the dark.
