“What an amazing kit. My class absolutely loved the opportunity to plant and watch their seeds grow, it was a joy to watch! . Through this learning we explored life-cycles of different plants as well as the conditions needed to sustain life. There was also great opportunities for math, writing and cooperation. As we ended up with extra seed packs due to a small class and extras from a parent the students were able to plant one of their seedlings at school in our garden and take one home.”

“This kit was good. The resources that arrived got our class very interested. The initial planting was fun and the children loved seeing the soil swell up in the water. Our initial plants did not do well as it was a little early to plant them before the school holidays and their was a lot of mold that grew on them over one weekend. We have since planted them outside and will be interested to see what pops up as the weather is getting better. The resources online were a bit tricky for my five year olds but we adapted them.”
