Fun, Educational, and Perfect for Little Scientists!
This root viewer kit is such a creative and educational toy! My kids absolutely loved watching their plants grow and seeing the roots develop through the clear window — it’s a fantastic hands-on way to teach them about how plants work. 🔹 Engaging and Easy to Use Everything you need is included: the viewing box, soil discs, seeds, labels, and stickers for decorating. The setup is simple, and the instructions are clear enough for kids to follow with minimal help. It’s amazing to see their excitement every day as the plants sprout and grow deeper roots. 🔹 Excellent STEM Learning Tool This isn’t just a toy — it’s a great introduction to biology and plant science. It helps kids understand how roots absorb nutrients and how plants grow over time. The included measurement stickers make it easy for them to track growth and feel like little scientists. ✅ Pros: Clear window lets kids see root growth in real-time Comes with soil, seeds, stickers, and labels Encourages curiosity and hands-on learning Great quality and easy setup Perfect for home or classroom use ❌ Cons: Only includes two types of seeds (would be great to have more variety) Overall: This Dan&Darci kit is a wonderful mix of fun and learning. It sparks curiosity, teaches patience, and gives kids a sense of accomplishment as they grow their own mini garden. Highly recommended for young explorers!

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 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.

Did not work for us
Nothing grew when we planted this kit. We followed the directions but it was unsuccessful. A cute and fun idea, if it had worked!

Seeds sprouted
Got this for my son for Christmas and we planted the seeds 12/26/25, one sprouted January 3rd and another sprout popped up January 5th. So far so good. My son is happy.

Doesn't grow anything
My great granddaughter and I planted this almost 4 weeks ago and nothing. From reading other reviews I see this is common. Don't buy this piece of junk.
