Back to the Roots Kids Science Grow Kit - 2 pk Bean and Watermelon

Never did I expect for them to take off like this. First off, the whole kit is really cool for many different reasons. Getting children involved in the process is important and I think every class, in every school, everywhere, should have a couple of these.Second, such an easy process that my two year old was able to take part in. The soil block is definitely enough. You just need to make sure you soak it long enough and in enough water.Comes with about 8 seeds in each pack. Out of the 8 green beans, 6 sprouted, and 4 of those have taken off (see pics). Watermelon took a bit longer. DON'T GET discouraged. They do sprout. Some take longer than others. I planted the ones in the middle first, waited to see what happened, and then planted the rest of the seeds after I transferred the original seedlings.I'm not sure I'm going to have much luck, due to my lack of gardening experience. But if I can do this, anyone can, especially if you know what you're doing.The value is great due to everything the kit contains. Targeting kids and including both interesting and educational aspects makes this product wonderful. I WILL be ordering more. 😊

This is a nice easy to grow starter kit. It's got everything that you need it is good for children and even comes with a learning kit. If they are brand new to gardening I would start with the snap beans just because those are pretty much impossible to ruin and beans just produce and produce and produce and produce and produce so it'll really boost your kid's confidence in their garden learning. They purposely picked things that were easier and faster to grow. I wish they had a few more choices this is definitely a good starter and worth the money. Plus not only is it a learning experience but it produces actual food you can eat as well. Overall I do absolutely recommend this.

Great and fun for kids

The green beans started growing immediately. The watermelon took a few weeks to even start sprouting though.

Over the years I've bought tons of kits like this to do with my kids to teach them about gardening as well as responsibilities.We always follow directions and this was a complete waste of money and my kids are so disappointed. As am I for spending the money. They don't seem as excited unless it's a kit like this which of corse costs moreThey love to wake up and see how much it's changed daily. Sadly it hasn't sprouted even . Don't bother with this kit!

I got these as a gift for my son and he loved them as a homeschool project. The inside of the boxes were super awesome and filled in fun facts and areas to track growth. They were super easy to use and get started, I'd give it 5 stars but we has some hickuos with the watermelon and they died off. Unfortunately our yard bunnies ate the green beans before they took off as well but they were definitely going strong! All and all will definitely buy it again, was very reasonable priced.

I loved this kit! When I first bought it I only received the pepper kit. I contacted the company and they were extremely helpful and got me the watermelon kit within just a few days! My daughter loved watching as the seeds sprouted! It’s a great kit for the money paid. My daughter and I had lots of fun using it! And it was pretty easy to use! The boxes were fairly smaller than I expected but it’s a grow it not the plant so that’s my fault! It’s definitely a fun buy for the family!

I always admire doing these with the kiddos & so do they. I’ve never gotten one that hasn’t worked & they make everything very simple for you & the kids.
