Sea Monkeys Original Instant Life

Yes, they're the real thing: the Sea Monkeys we all had -- or at least begged Mom for -- when we were kids! The Sea Monkeys Original Instant Life kit introduces the next generation to the mystical (i.e. scientific) wonders of these mini crustaceans, one educational step at a time.

The science begins as you help your child transform boiled tap water into a safe environment for Sea Monkeys using the Water Purifier in any 10-oz container. Next, anticipation builds as your child sprinkles the Instant Live Eggs over the water, waiting for their suspended animation to end and their new life to begin. Over the next few hours the whole family will be sneaking peeks at the habitat with the magnifier, hoping to be the first to spot a hatchling zipping through the water and yell 'I see one!'

As you and your child hatch, raise and care for these tiny shrimp, you will witness their entire life cycle, leading to discussions about the life cycles of other creatures, aquatic and otherwise. Your Sea Monkeys are even guaranteed to reach a two-year life span, so you're covered if the unfortunate should happen.

The starter kit contains Water Purifier, Instant Live Eggs, Growth Food, a magnifier, a feeding spoon, and instructions in English, Spanish and French. Need a refill for another Sea-Monkey kit? This set has everything you need to start the fun all over again.

Isn't it about time to welcome Sea Monkeys to your home at long last?

Ages 6 and up.
