Root Viewer Kit for Kids - Grow Your Own Plant for Boys & Girls Gifts - Science STEM Toy & Craft Growing Kits for Ages 4-8 Birthday Gifts for Boy, Girl 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Year Old - Gardening Toy

We started a pumpkin seed in it on March 21 and now June 18th have a massive pumpkin plant that's producing flowers. Transferring it out was a little tricky but it definitely thrived in the little planter by the sunny window until it had more roots than room.We just started some corn in it with our own dirt on the 14th and it's already sprouted with leaves.

Basic toy that leads to hours of play. My son is 9 and was able to do almost the entire kit on his own. Everything works just as it's supposed to; easy to use; and looks very nice on his shelf. We could see germination within a couple weeks. I think the price point is great for future birthday party gifts for his friends. He liked this so much he chose it over screen time.

I am an avid gardener and my parents were gardeners as well. My grandson loves working in the garden and having his own little space. Having the root viewer makes gardening even more special and I believe it will help to instill in him, how fun and rewarding growing your own food can be. One side of the root viewer has pictures on it and the other side is clear. In order to see the roots growing you have to plant the seeds on the clear side of the grow kit. Not an issue but it would be nicer if it was clear viewing on all sides.

Grandson has enjoyed watching several different seeds grow in this over the past few months. Very educational and interesting!

Update: the company reached out to me and were so pleasant and professional. I added a star to my review because of the great customer service. I honestly plan on giving other products they sell a try.The planter is nice, but the dirt and seeds did not work out. The dirt became mouldy and the seeds absolutely would not sprout.I tried planting the seeds in different dirt, a different pot, and they still didn't sprout.I got some new dirt and seeds to use with the container, and my son was able to watch those grow. The plastic is clear and seems durable, I wish it came with a drip tray though.Overall I would not recommend the kit because the dirt and seeds were terrible.

Surprise birthday gift for my daughter. I. Elieve she's going to love it.

Horrible product. My daughter and I have potted many plants, even from seedlings. This product didn't even start to sprout. It was even sadder because we could SEE them not sprout.... 🙁Good idea, poor execution.

i just got thisroot viewer today so i dont know how well the seeds will grow as well as the roots to view. me and my 7 year old son did this little project together and it was easy enough for him to do most of it on his own. it came in three different pieces to put together and all you really need is some common sense to know where everything goes, but the directions are very simple if needed also. it comes with everything you need, a sheet of cute stickers that have a garden vibe, the root viewer dome, a stand that drains excess water out, two packets of cilantro seeds, and two disks of soil... which swells to the perfect amount of soil after 30 min. in warm water to fill up your root viewer dome. this was the perfect little summer project for me and my son to enjoy.
