Inside the DIY kit you will find a plastic mason-style jar, a blue decorative lid, potting soil, Organic Chia seeds, Wheat Grass seeds, forest themed garden figurines, glowing sand, river stones, stickers and a plant mister to water your terrarium. You just assemble, decorate, water and watch it grow! It’s a fun way to teach kids about science, botany eco-systems and the life cycle of plants. Kids love to see how things work and especially how the magic of seeds, soil, sun and water will blossom into green plants! This educational toy is a great lesson in cause-and-effect, responsibility and patience. The Grow N’ Glow Terrarium will also encourage independent and screen-free play. Build creative confidence and entertain with this at home and indoor activity for kids! This science kit is a unique way to unplug, unwind and have fun while learning. The plants will only thrive if they’re given water each day and when your child does water it, the seeds begin to shoot up in 3 to 4 days. After assembly, there are delightful forest themed stickers and glow-in-the-dark constellation and star stickers to embellish your terrarium further. At night your mini ecosystem will glow in the dark and give your science kit a unique shine! The Grow and Glow Terrarium is the perfect STEAM activity that mixes art and science.

Q: For what age do you recommend this toy?

submitted by Sandy - 2 years ago
  • A: Ages 6 to 96 is what the actual box says but if you help a child that is younger that should be fine as well. Hope this helps.

Q: I have one but it is dying. How do you replant it?

submitted by Balletlil14 - 2 years ago
  • A: Yes, over time your garden will need to be replanted. You can use left over materials that you may have from the kit or purchase new soil and seeds from your local garden center. You will basically take the materials out of the jar and rework the project.

Q: Throw do u care for it after it has grown a lot? Transplant?

submitted by Callahan - 5 years ago
  • A: My daughters planted the seeds provided in the kit. They do not sprout actual flowers but more like a petit grass/ground cover. We did not transplant as there was really no reason to.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grow and glow terrarium is a great idea however the seeds never sprouted. My daughter did have a bunch of fun putting it all together and decorating the jar and after two weeks of keeping seeds moist and nothing growing she is just playing with the figures that came with it
1 reply from Consumer Relations team - 4 days ago
We're sorry to hear of the lack of growth. That's generally caused by under/overwatering or planting all seeds at once - we provide enough for multiple plantings. Please contact us at consumer@fabercastell.com if you have planted all of yours.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Faber-Castell- Glow N' Grow terrarium has proven to be a really cool and fun way to get my kids excited to learn about gardening. This is a great, hands on activity everyone can enjoy together and in just a few days, you start to see the results. I stress the importance of reading all of the directions before you start. We made the mistake of using all of the seeds at once, which created some over crowding and mold. Other then that there were no issues at all. Just a lot of fun decorating the outside, before our plants grew. My kids really enjoyed this activity and the glow in the dark stickers. Super cute jar with star hole lid. I highly recommend this.

I bought this around march 21, it has grown a lot but it also grew something else with it. Mold on the back of the paper it says you might see mold but it is non toxic. It says it is do to humidity and over watering. It give you a spray bottle but does not tell you how many sprays to use. The mold has been there since the 3rd day I got it. I have not watered it since but the mold still grows more and more. It does not tell you how to make it go away other than airing it out. It is cool but it makes me uncomfortable that mold is growing in my room and keeps growing more.

Thank you for your feedback. Watering frequency is dependent on the conditions of the room - sunny, hot, humid, cooler... Spray seeds and soil enough to keep them damp so they will germinate. If too wet or humid, fuzzy growth may appear - remove the lid so the garden can dry a bit; air circulation helps. The seeds may break down naturally as new soil and you can replant with new seeds - we provide enough for 2-3 plantings.

Great mini project with my toddler! We used a LED pen light to first shine light on the figurines, sand, and stickers, then turned off the light. Glowed spectacularly in the dark and my kiddo loved it. Just waiting for the seeds to sprout and I’m sure it’ll look like a cute woodland terrarium 😀

What a fantastic gift! Starts growing right away. Kept my young kiddo's attention right off the bat. Was a perfect way to give her a "garden" in the middle of winter. Highly recommend.

AElam - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
This was a fun activity for my 7 year old and I to do together. Each day he looks forward to seeing how much it has grown. Only gave 4 stars, as there was barely enough soil to make 2 layers. Also, could have used a bit more of the glow rocks.

Bad instructions in the box

1 out of 5 stars
WateryMess - 4 months ago
originally posted on Faber-Castell USA
Unfortunately the instructions say to add 1/2C of water to the potting mix before anything else, which, of course, we did. According to the instructions it was supposed to become clumpy like clay. 1/2C of water was WAY too much, as it never became clay like; it was just a watery mess. And as you might guess, the sand and rocks simply sank into the first layer of that watery mess, rather than laying on top of it like it was supposed to. Ridiculous. So I came to the website only to find that other people had experienced the same problem, and oh, uh, yeah, "we revised the instructions to only add a small amount of water." This should have been REALLY EASY for you to get right. How did this product ever make it out of QA?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kid toys need to work fast, and the plants in this grow quickly! I like that it has so many different pieces to the terrarium, and the light makes it enjoyable day and night. Good pick for a birthday gift or interactive Christmas gift.

Beautiful Glowing Terrarium & lots of fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just love how cute and fun Glow N’ Grow’s Terrarium came out to be. It was so much fun unboxing everything included in the kit to get your little garden started. The kit includes everything you need including the soil, rocks, glowing blue and pick sands, seeds (2 kinds) the white rocks, a cute little container with stars in the lid, a little spray bottle labeled to mist garden, a little raccoon roasting marshmallows, (the marshmallows glow) a little campfire that glows, and stickers. The glow in the dark sky stickers are a beautiful bonus to this little terrarium and I loved the little critters, flowers and mushroom stickers. You can just see how cute this came out. Now, I’m just waiting on it to grow as I water him everyday and look at it glow every night. I highly recommend to kids and adults all ages. Making this little terrarium was so much fun!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My only regret is that I didn't get more sets. My girls loved setting this up and Watching it grow. They (7 and 9) assembled and set it up without any adult help at all. I'll definitely be buying more sets. I love that you can see the root structures after the seeds grow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The kids and myself put together the Grow and Glow Terrarium about a week ago. It came with very easy to understand instructions and everything you could possibly need. My bigger tip is not to use too many seeds, save some of them! It is very pretty and fun and the kids enjoy watering it and now trimming what’s growing out the top.
