SmartLab Tiny Gardening

Enjoy gardening at your fingertips with a miniature desktop greenhouse and tiny tools! Inside this one small STEM kit are 20 enormously fun plant growing activities, perfect for tweens, teens, and as desktop decor for adults. Build and decorate a mini greenhouse, then add soil, water, and your choice of seeds to the teeny tiny flower pots. Within days of planting, seedlings emerge and thrive in the self-watering greenhouse. The included 48-page illustrated science activity book is filled with experiments: learn about the plant life cycle, extract DNA from fruit, conduct test tube experiments, discover the effects of acid rain, gravity, and colored light waves on plant growth; and more! Growing and nurturing seedlings in the tiny greenhouse inspires creativity, responsibility, and a lifelong wonder of nature. As children test and experiment, they’re practicing essential skills in reading, measuring, following instructions, and trial-and-error learning. We give this activity-filled science kit two green thumbs up! From EDC Publishing, for ages 8+ yrs. Watch the Video:
