Creativity for Kids Magic Bean Garden Craft Kit – 3 Magic Bean Seeds

My young ones love this garden. They had fun painting the planter. Planting the 'magic' beans requires a lot of patience but once the plants get start they take off like crazy! I was very surprised how beautiful and healthy the leaves were. This is a fun project for the entire family!

What fun this activity was! My 2 1/2 year old grandson and I worked on this together. He enjoyed painting the pot and planting the beans. Our beans haven't sprouted yet but we will enjoy checking them every day until they do! I love that this kit is not only fun and creative but it teaches children a lifelong lesson about growing plants. Win-win-win!!

We used this kit to teach out three year old about how plants grow. She was insanely excited to get the kit out and go over all the parts. It is very thorough and includes everything you would need to paint and plant the beans and wait for them to grow. It was important for me to wait for them to actually grow well before leaving a review, because she would have been devastated if they had failed to grow. I had no problems following the directions and I set her up with all the paints and allowed her to paint the pot however she wanted. Afterwards, we waited for a day for it to dry. The next morning she picked 2 beans, the instructions specify that you should plant 2 for best measure, not all three. There is not enough soil to do another round, be we are okay with that. She picked the two beans she wanted and we filled the pot with the included soil. It definitely feels much sandier than normal soil but it works so not sure what the real difference actually is. She then pushed the beans she had chosen into the soil and we covered them with just a tad more soil. I gave her a very small cup of water and let her water the plant very slowly, a little at a time. It directs you on how much water you should give it to avoid root rot. We then set it in the kitchen, up and away from her so she did not get so excited that she needed to touch it - she very much wanted to play with the soil. She was a little antsy at first, watching it constantly, saying that it was not growing yet. We had to go over the process a few times to remind her that it would take a few days to grow and even then, it would be slowly. The beans that we planted grew at different speeds, as most plants normally do. I would say it was about day 4 when we say a tiny green stem sprouting just under the soil - it made a little crack in the soil but hadn't broken through yet. She excitedly watched each day as it finally broken through and grew taller and taller, sprouting leaves. A few days after the first bean grew, the second one did. It has been much slower to grow, just today sprouting it's first leaf. She checks on her beans every morning as soon as she gets up and runs through the house telling everyone how much it grew since the day before. This kit helped her learn about planting, watering, and waiting for things to grow. She learned how things start and eventually will learn how they end. She doesn't much care about the symbol on the beans or the words on them after they sprout. She can't read yet of course but to her, the act of planting it and it growing is amazing because it is something she did herself, everything else is unimportant details. I would completely recommend this kit, it was so fun to share this experience with her and teach her about plant life.

This is a really cool product! My kids were so excited to plant the beans and watch them grow. And it's really neat that they have little quotes on them. Plus it teaches my kids how to garden and take care of plants. So I'm definitely pleased and highly recommend!

I love this Magic Bean Garden. I tried to get my 4 year old son to paint the pot, he did some of it. The paint is very permanent. He got it on the table and it won't come off. There is a warning in the instructions about this. The beans are huge! I like how the instructions indicate what kind of beans they are. It also states that you can move them outdoors. It gets quite big. The beans are growing and it still has the message on it. The soil seems to be growing mold though. I must've overwatered it. It still is a very cool set for kids.

My daughter had a great time with this little bean pot. We had to make sure there was newspaper down because the paint got everywhere. I think this is a great educational experience for kids 4 and up. It came with dirt, cup and plate, paint and paintbrush and garden pebbles.

It's a nice kit for the kids to learn some gardening and be creative. Very easy to follow instructions. My daughter planted the beans without any help. Now she's so excited to see the bean sprout and grow. Cool product, I recommend it for any parents with young kids.

This is a cute activity to do with kids. My son and I did it together. The pot on the smaller size, which was perfect for short attention spans. The whole project took about an hour to complete. We are still waiting on the beans to grow, so I cant comment on the secret messages. Overall, a fun project to do with kids!

The Creativity for Kids Grow Your Own Magic Bean Garden is a fun kit. It includes everything you need to grow beans and has a couple of fun perk! First, it has paint pots and a brush to creatively customize the pot. Next, it has colorful sand to put on the top of your planting. The beans have etched messages making it fun when they come out of the soil and grow. The kit includes the pot, paint and brush, 3 beans with message on them, soil and the little bags of stones/sands. This is a nice mix of science and art for the perfect STEAM project for your crafty and creative nature living kids.
