About Steven Universe: The Movie:
After so many harrowing adventures, Steven and the Gems are ready to celebrate how far they’ve come with a movie musical! Little do they know they’re about to face their worst enemy yet. Steven Universe: The Movie is now available to own on Digital, Blu-ray & DVD.

NOTE: This camp activity requires adult supervision at all times.
The Science Behind The Fun:
As time passes (and the solution cools), the water will slowly evaporate from the solution. As the water evaporates, the solution will become more saturated with sugar. The sugar molecules will collect on the string, and the candy crystals will grow molecule by molecule!
Extra Science Fun:
Try making two jars of candy. In the first jar – seed your “Crystal Gem” Candy by rolling your string in water and sugar. In the second jar do not seed your string with sugar before growing. Determine if using seed sugar crystals changes the growth rate of your “Crystal Gem” Candy!
Have you seen Steven Universe: The Movie? Have you made Crystal Gem Rock Candy before?

Cool experiment! My kids will enjoy doing this.
This sounds and looks really cool and I will try making these in the next couple days. At 1st glance I thought they were candles. Lol!
Very cool! My kiddo loves Steven Universe. This looks like a fun summer activity.
Great themed candy, really nice to make for someone who love this show.
This is a great idea for kids. I haven’t had rock candy in years!
