Creativity for Kids Grow 'N Glow Terrarium Kit - Educational Science Kits, Kids Gifts for Boys and Girls, Craft and STEM Projects (Ages 6+)

The media could not be loaded. My daughter got this terrarium for Christmas. She was very excited to use it. She is 6 years old. We followed all the directions except the one that says not to put in a ton of seeds! Somehow we missed that. If you put in too many seeds, it can supposedly crowd the plants and hinder growth. Not the case here! We got tons of growth. I feel like this is a foolproof terrarium and great for little kids because you are pretty much guaranteed to grow something. We were worried that nothing would grow because the roots would choke each other out, but we have tons of growth. My daughter is very excited. Another thing that happened was she tilted the jar to look at something and all the layers got messed up before any of the plants had grown. Still worked. I am telling you, you really can't screw this up. One thing that is hard is getting the butterfly wings on. She tried to do it on her own and it ripped a little, but that didn't matter. We ended up taking it off anyway. My daughter also chose to take out some of the decor inside the jar because she wanted the plants to have as much room to grow as possible! It is very satisfying when you buy something that actually works out!

Great hands on project for grandkids.

Cute to do with your toddler, My daughter loved setting it up and watching it grow. Easy to use, learning how to plant, colors are fun. Great value for the price would buy again

I'd recommend this product for an 7-10 year old. The set came with everything that was in the description and the packaging was in great condition. Putting it together is very easy and honestly doesn't take much effort and is pretty fun. The only problem is that that's where the interactive part kind of ends. If you are planning to buy this for a younger kid, they might have fun assembling it but the only thing left to do afterwards is wait. It doesn't have anything else you'd spend a lot of time on, so this is not a time-consuming gift or activity. Of course, that has nothing to do with the product itself, but do keep that in mind if you want to get this as an activity. The seeds did eventually grow and the plant was healthy, but for some reason the little plastic jar had a horrible smell. I am not sure which part of the bottom layer or section it is, but something in the soil smelled so bad we ended up leaving the poor plants outside. The plants persevered and somehow managed to live for a few weeks afterwards outside, but the smell was still there and was really off-putting.

Got two of them for my daughters which immediately went to good use. The grass has already started growing & they're excited.

Cute little "just because" gift. Girl 10 did it on a sick day, 4 year old boy will love it, got one for neighbors 9 year old who can do it himself. Great little project.

My grand girls were excited to work on this project. Each of them had one. Imagine the disappointment when one was missing one of the most needed elements… potting soil. They tried to share, but that resulted in not the perfect finished projects!

Cool activity for the kids.
