Product Overview

I recently had the opportunity to review the National Geographic Light Up Dinosaur Terrarium Kit and I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. This kit is perfect for children who are interested in growing their own mini indoor gardens, as well as exploring different terrarium habitats.

The wide mouth design of the terrarium makes it easy for smaller hands to set up and work with the provided materials. The panoramic view also lets kids explore what s inside as their habitat evolves. What s more, the light up lid is powered by a USB cable so there are no batteries required. It also makes a great night light for bedtime!

In addition to the terrarium habitat, this kit includes chia and ryegrass seeds, a peat pellet, spray bottle, colored pebbles, rock fossil specimens, river stone, faux succulent, two dino figurines and a reversible laminated backdrop to create a prehistoric look and feel. To top it off, a genuine gastropod fossil is also included to add even more character to your terrarium setup.

This kit is ideal for kids six years of age and older who are looking to bring the world of dinosaurs into their homes. It s an educational yet fun way for children to learn about observation skills while developing an appreciation for nature and wildlife.

Overall I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an exciting indoor activity set that can help grow a mini indoor garden with a prehistoric look and feel! It has everything you need to get started on your own dinosaur world, all in one convenient package.
