LEANToys Growing Alligator/Crocodile Egg toy - 6 cm, model 14901

LEANToys Growing Alligator/Crocodile Egg (6 cm) is a novelty toy that expands when submerged in water, gradually revealing a small alligator or crocodile figure. The compact 6 cm egg absorbs water, increases in size, and releases a soft polymer figure over time. It is intended as an educational and entertaining item for sensory play, simple science demonstrations, bath time activities, and novelty collections.

Advantages

The expanding egg demonstrates basic absorption and growth concepts in a visible way and supports hands-on exploration. Its small initial size makes it easy to store and transport, while the slow expansion process encourages observation and patience. The product is lightweight and suitable for supervised play in water-based settings.

Suitable for

• Children's sensory play and discovery activities
• Bath time entertainment and water play
• Simple classroom science demonstrations on absorption and polymer behavior
• Stocking stuffers, party favors, or novelty collections

Key specifications

• Initial size: approximately 6 cm diameter
• Material: water-absorbent polymer shell with a soft expanding figure inside
• Expansion: increases in size when immersed in water over several hours
• Finish: soft, non-rigid figure once fully expanded

How to use

Place the egg in a container of room-temperature water and allow it to remain submerged. Over the course of several hours, check periodically to observe the egg swelling and the figure emerging. Once expansion is complete, remove the toy from water and gently pat it dry. For storage, keep the expanded figure in a dry, ventilated place; the toy may gradually shrink if left in dry conditions for extended periods.

Usage recommendations

Use under adult supervision. Not suitable for children who may place small parts in their mouths. Avoid using hot water or ingesting the contents. Rinse hands after handling and store away from very young children and pets.
