How does this magic dinosaur volcano work? The dinosaur is made out of a combination of polymers. The hydrophilic or water-loving polymers absorb water and cause the figure to grow. The hydrophobic or water-hating polymers don't absorb any liquid and hold the dinosaurs shape. The beaker measures 7cm x 9.5cm (3 x 3.5 inches). Due to the small parts it is not considered suitable for children under 3 years.
