- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2025Style: UnicornVerified PurchaseThese were so fun to do with my 5 year olds and 3 year old. They sprouted in 4 days!
Pros: My kids were so excited and continue to check them daily. They loved making them too. Very straight forward and easy to make.
Great variety and amount of decorations for inside and outside the container. Everything is beautiful bright colors.
Lots of chia seeds! Make sure not to overwater them as I noticed they didn’t sprout as much in the container that had visible pooled water. It does come with a small pipette for watering. I water every few days when the sand looks dry. I also placed them under a grow light for about 6 hours a day. Unsure how they grow outside of a grow light.
Easy and fast clean up afterwards. Which is always great when doing a craft with little kids that keeps them busy and happy.

More than reasonable price. The container is excellent quality and just clicks right together. Ensure you carry from the bottom so it doesn’t spill.
There is no noticed scent unless you take the lid off and smell directly- which is a light, fresh and pleasant scent.
There are no cons. I even bought one as a Birthday gift for their classmate. :)

My child loves it only downside is it didn’t come with the stickers or decorative stones like it said it was supposed to. I had to go buy my own which are the ones you see on the egg shaped terrarium. I gave it 3 stars becof the inconvenience of having to go to town and spend more money.
