Creativity for Kids Sparkle N' Grow Butterfly Terrarium

I helped the kids (5 and 7) while they did it. I recommend putting the packs of dirt, sand and rocks in little cups or containers to make it easier for the kids to pour into to jar. The instructions were good though. The kids had a lot of fun. The seeds started germinating right away too! Just put them in a sunny window, didn't buy the solar light it recommends.

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!

Super cute, fun to put together and they grew so fast!!

She was very happy with her gift and kept her entertained for some time. She loves plants and butterflies so it was the perfect gift for a child that has no siblings and has it all.

Fun for kids for about 10 minutes. Then grass grows and you gotta find something to do with said grass
