You might not have heard of the term terrarium before, but you’ve probably seen one in action! A terrarium is small, miniaturised version of a garden that people grow in either a pot or a jar of some type. In a nutshell, this is exactly what the Grow ‘n Glow Terrarium offers children – the opportunity to design, cultivate and enjoy their very own miniature garden eco-system! With everything included that is needed for growth, the Grow ‘n Glow Terrarium is the perfect gifting for budding (excuse the pun) botanists everywhere!

Is the Creativity for Kids Grow ‘n Glow Terrarium Worth Buying?
So what do you get with your Grow ‘n Glow Terrarium? Included in the set is the terrarium jar itself, along with a plant mister for watering the plants and 2 resin figures for decoration. Children can follow the instructions on how to correctly mix the potting mix, the planting matter and the seeds in order to encourage growth, as well as further decorating the terrarium with the sand and miniature stones included. After that, it’s time to cultivate your garden and watch as the plants grow right before your eyes!
The biggest question to ask yourself is how is the Grow ‘n Glow Terrarium any different from a DIY version? There is nothing to stop parents from making their own terrarium at home with everyday soil and seeds. However, the Grow ‘n Glow Terrarium is about more than just watching the plants grow. It is about decorating and designing your very own eco-system. To this end, the resin figures, sand stones and numerous stickers give the terrarium a distinctly scientific feel that can be difficult to replicate in home-made models.
The Grow ‘n Glow Terrarium is not only a fun toy but an educational experience too. Think of it as a science project and task your child with its maintenance. If the plants are not properly looked after in the right conditions, they won’t continue to grow. This is a great way of teaching responsibility to children, as well as cultivating a love of botany. And no child is ever going to be annoyed that their toy glows in the dark at night! Children with any kind of inquisitive mind will love the Grow ‘n Glow Terrarium and it makes a tremendous gift.
