This garden kit offers playful activity that’s educational as well as fun. With its simple and minimal design, this option is great for younger kids. They will be fascinated as they watch the dehydrated soil rise up once it’s watered. It’s a science experiment with everything included, allowing kids to begin making it the instant they open the box. Within a week, they’ll begin to see grass poke through the soil and grow. Watering it every few days teaches children how to be responsible and care for an object. Although kids may forget to water the grass from time to time, it perks back up quickly once it becomes hydrated again. This option is fantastic for children ages 4 and up.
