Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to other kids' art kits such as basic modeling clay sets or paint-by-number activities, the Grow 'N Glow Terrarium Kit offers a living component that evolves over weeks. While traditional craft kits provide immediate results, this terrarium kit teaches patience and observation. Competitor terrarium kits often lack the special LED lighting feature that makes the Creativty for Kids version glow at night, adding an extra layer of magic.

How to use it

1. Open the kit and lay out all components on a protected surface.
2. Layer the sand, rocks, and soil in the clear plastic jar as shown in the guide.
3. Plant the chia and wheatgrass seeds, then gently water them.
4. Decorate the terrarium with the included stickers and glow-in-the-dark stars.
5. Place the lid on top and set the jar near a sunny window.
6. Mist the soil every few days and watch your mini garden grow over two weeks.
