Astronaut Toy Growing Pet 4.5 x 6.5cm
Description
This astronaut toy is a growing pet with a space twist. Drop the white speckled grow egg into water and, over a day or two, the shell cracks and a little astronaut hatches out and keeps growing. At 4.5 x 6.5cm it is a small hatching egg toy that space fans can check on day by day, and it works well with our science kits. The boxed egg makes a fun space party bag filler or stocking filler.
How to hatch your astronaut egg
- Put the egg in a glass or bowl and fill it with water until the egg is fully covered. Use water under 35°C (95°F).
- Leave it to soak. After 12 to 24 hours the shell slowly cracks and the astronaut starts to push its way out. Keep the container topped up with water.
- Once the shell has broken away completely, add fresh water. The astronaut is fully grown after about 48 hours.
- Move the growing astronaut to another container if you like, and check on it each day to see how it has grown.
