    It was fun for my son and me 😁
    We just made ours and will see how it grows so no complaints. It was a nice cute creative activity for us to do together especially since he enjoys science. We even added some of our own stickers. Stickers they give are like window type so wetting them might help to restick.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2018
    My daughter and I love the Light-Up Terrarium Kit by Mini Explorer! The contents of the box were all clearly labeled. The Setup Guide was very well done with step by step instructions, including photos for each step. There were more than enough materials included and they were all good quality and exactly as pictured. Our seeds started to sprout after just a few days and my daughter looks forward to watering her plants every day when we get home. It has provided a fun forum for us to educate her on the importance of plant life and the importance of taking care of things. She also likes to use the included sprayer bottle to water Mommy and Daddy. :) She is much younger than the recommended age for the product, but with our help and supervision she has really done well and enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking for a fun, educational project that's also pretty, to do with their child.

    My four and a half year old granddaughter chose this as her first science project, and it was totally a great experience. Now we want to make more terrariums! This kit has everything you need, and it's easy and fun. Love the movable stickers, the bunny, the mushroom house, and the lid. The light works great as a night light, which makes it very unique.
