How successful was this kit in promoting student ability to identify vegetables? It had a great impact on most of my learners, some of them had never heard of some of the vegetables before and they were excited to see how many different kinds of vegetables there are.

It created some great opportunities for students to help each other, and they enjoyed seeing whose plants were growing the biggest. I also had a lot more students bringing in vegetables for their brainfood snacks which was cool to see!”

The badges are an unneccessary waste, the letterbox was not useful and VERY hard to set up. infact 2/3 teachers gave up. The whole kit could be completely slimmed down and just have teh plants. The card game was great.”
