The best activities for children are ones which teach them new things while getting them individually involved so that they are personally interested. This Growing Box accomplishes that by letting them help with the germination of a plant, and providing a window into the process of its growth. The sliding door reveals a clear panel that allows viewers to look in on the development of the plant’s underground roots. The dual planters are large enough to grow saplings and shrubberies until they are large enough to re-plant in the ground. And since each side can be used to grow a different seed, you can use them to display the growth of two very different forms of plant life. Students will learn a lot by helping, and since there are so many steps in the process of growing and maintaining the plant that everyone can get involved.
