Great value
Super fun little kit! I bought 3 because it was the perfect birthday presents for some kindergarten birthday parties! Seeds haven't sprouted just yet but the solid was the perfect amount and it was really fun to measure out the water and rehydrate the soil block. Great little science project. My little loved the stickers and decorating the box. Even if you want to use different seeds (coriander and onions are what's in the kit) they kit is worthwhile. Might try a few small radishes too

Great educational toy/tool
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.

Great kit, but buy your own seeds
The kit itself is great, and provides a great visual for seeds growing. But I would recommend purchasing seeds separately. Used the seeds within the provided container and in the ground and neither grew much if at all. Seeds didn’t produce anything worth noting.

Take a break from screen time
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.

Germination is abysmal despite seeds being in date. Still glad to have it for usur own seeds
I bought this knowing the likelihood the seeds would not germinate based on other reviews.We planted 20 seeds after following all directions including the seed soaking directions. Only 1 seed germinated.There were tiny spots of mold but it was not too concerning.We still feel like it was worth the money for the container, we will just try other seeds.

Do not recommend
Never worked. This was the enrichment piece to a study unit for my 5th grader and it would never take. Replanted 3 times and nothing. Finally used own seeds and we are seeing something but that makes the idea of this all-in-one kit pretty useless. Would not purchase again.

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