Thames & Kosmos Wow in the World Sea Creatures Aquarium: Educational Science Kit for 1st-2nd Grade with Magnifying Glass & Experiment Guide

Super cute aquarium, great gift idea or stocking stuffer. Unfortunately our eggs didn’t hatch but I like that the tank is small, and my kids liked decorating it with the stickers. For the price, I would get another kit to see if the eggs hatch!

they died. I followed all directions. sad girl and dead sea monkeys :(

This is such a neat and interesting thing to get for any child. It comes with clear directions on how to set up the tank. It’s really a fun little science project, very educational. You get to grow brine shrimp from eggs, very neat.

I had thought this could be neat for my daughter, but after the initial set up it was a fail. We followed all the directions but could not keep them alive. I ended up feeling bad for the creatures and my kid.

This is so stinking fun! My son loves this and it makes for such a fun scientific experiment and adventure for an 8 year old! You should try one for any age because it’s fun for us adults to play with also. I am buying for more gifts

I’m not sure where I went wrong, but this didn’t work. Maybe not all kits work equally? Maybe I tend to be dyslexic once in awhile and space out with directions. It seemed promising. Maybe purchase for yourself and not a gift so no disappointment?

My kids were super excited to get this. Unfortunately they were more than disappointed. It came with two packets, I’m assuming just in case you got a dud? We tried two different times and never saw anything hatch. It’s pretty full proof so I’m guessing we just got a bad batch? Super sad.

To be honest we have never had any fish tank or anything like this before. This was a fun activity to do with your Kids. First I was confused as how to do it but the instructions were so easy to understand. My kids had fun setting up the tank and pouring the shrimp package in it. They were so excited to see how many days it will take for it to grow. And they were so happy when they spotted the tiny dots swimming in water.

This sea creature set brings back memories of those I used to have as a kid. It’s really easy to set up and put together and simple enough that my little guy could participate in the mixing of the salt and water and adding the eggs. It seems like magic when they hatch! Everything that is needed is included and the colorful booklet included was fun to read and share facts.

Amazing to say the least, my children love this from the start of opening the box and watching the creatures grow. We as a family have enjoyed this, it’s easy to set up and the kids love being involved!

These are basically the same thing as sea monkeys that I had as a kid. We’ve only just started the process but my kids enjoyed it so far. The kit itself is cute and the ”aquarium” looks like a little globe. Lots of fun and very nostalgic.

This is very thin, light and small. I do not recommend it for anyone younger than 6/7. My kids enjoyed playing with it and learning abou the tiny sea creatures, but I did all the work. Place it in a location where not a cat, kid, or you can accidently knock it down. But overall, its very cute.

Fun little project. If your kids are into STEM projects, science or biology this is for you! The little shrimpies container is a little small (but understandable as well they are TINYYYY little guy's) and can fit perfectly on the kitchen counters, desk or nightstand. Its so cute to watch the evolution of the shrimpies. The little contariner with label is cheap looking and light that can spill over if not careful- and you can see the label and air bubbles on the map label.

What an awesome learning gift. I got this for my 5 year old daughter so she could learn to take care of something. She really enjoyed watching them grow and how it made real shrimp! This is a great quality product and I would definitely recommend it!

I got this for my kids and they loved it! It’s very easy to set up and it took about 3 days for the eggs to hatch. My kids are so excited, jumping up and down to tell me the good news that the brine shrimp hatched. They also love to use the magnifying glass to see the shrimp swimming around. My kids are 5 and 7, and they both enjoy the activity!

Wow in the World: Sea Creature Aquarium was a fun idea but sadly it didn’t work for me. We folllowed the directions exactly and kept checking the aquarium. Sadly nothing was moving in the aquarium and was floating at the bottom not moving. Maybe we got a bad batch but it was disappointing it didn’t work

This was a fun kit to set up and watch with my kiddo however the little shrimp never hatched. I don’t know if our house was not warm enough or what but I had a disappointed little girl who watched the tank every day with no luck.

Something fun for the kids. Included tank is very small in size. Kit comes with everything needed, except of course the boiled water. We set ours up per instructions and on day three we started to see the tiny specs swimming. After about a week and a half none of them were alive anymore, however, that may have been due to too much sunlight coming in, so be careful about how much light you expose the tank to. The good thing is, theres enough eggs, salt and food to try again.

Fun activity for kids. This kit comes with everything you need to put it together . Instructions are included , very easy to follow ( kids can do it themselves). The aquarium needs to be refilled and oxygenated. Kids had fun growing their pets.

I received these products for free from the Hey, Bullseye™ sampling program in exchange for my honest review. I selected this product as I remember having something like this as a child but we called it sea monkeys, so I thought my daughter (age 11) would enjoy it. Overall everything you need comes with this set, but please be sure to read the directions fully before beginning, as my daughter got excited and before I could stop her she dumped the whole packet of the shrimp eggs in rather than half. It has the food the salt water and the egg packet, plus the cute aquarium to put it all in. The kit also came with a great instruction booklet and stickers. I have no idea how you can tell if they are alive, but my daughter seems to think they are and has really enjoyed having a new "pet" in the house. I personally think ours has a slight fishy odor but my daughter said she doesn't notice it. However, it could be because she dumped the whole packet of eggs in the aquarium rather than half. I would recommend this kit to anyone looking to teach a kiddo responsibility or because you had fun with sea monkeys as a child. Its been fun watching my daughter get excited about this and learning some basic science and care with it.
