Creativity for Kids Grow 'N Glow Capybara Terrarium STEM Kit, Ages 6+

This is a fun project for 9 year old girls. I should have been supervising in the beginning. The soil does go first then the sand layers. Then top is half covered with more soil to insert the small seeds. The critters go on top of the other half on top of white gravel. Mist sand to make it stay in one line as you layer it. Tamp it down with a spoon to set it good before adding more sand color. Mist that too before adding the soil and seeds and gravel. A small spoon will help deliver the soil on top to one side only then push seeds in gently and mist it all then set in creatures on rocks and water again to wiggle them into a nesting position. We dumped a little water from the mister bottle to dampen down to the bottom soil layer. It was fun once we mist it each day and check for growth.

This thing is so cool!! It was actually my second time purchasing it. I bought it for my son several years ago when he was around 4, and although I thought it was the coolest thing, he didn't enjoy it quite as much so I wanted to try again when he was older. He's 9 now and he totally loved it!! super cool if you have a kiddo interested in that kind of thing.

This is an awesome hands on kit for children! It includes plenty of things to occupy time and for kids to have fun with and be creative. The colors are amazing.

My grandkids loved these terrariums! They are easy to construct. The only thing I would recommend is to use the entire contents on the terrarium and not hold back half for a second terrarium. There really is not enough of the colored glow in the dark sand for two applications.

Gave 2 to 2 little boys, ages 6 and 9 as a gift at Christmas. THEY figured out following the instructions and within 3 or 4 days had roots. It has been 10 days and they are having a growing contest. From top of plants to bottom of jar, they are both at 8 inches tall. Excellent educational gift. NO mess and no odor!
