My kid really liked doing this grown kit. I just wish that the instructions were a little better. You have to keep this moist at all times if you want the seeds to germinate. I bought these small greenhouses to put the plant in and that’s when the seeds FINALLY started to grow. I also have them under grow lights but this grows SO SLOW! It’s been over 30 days and while it is growing, it has probably another month before it can even be planted in a pot.

It never grew! I bought this for our 4 year old in February. Planted the first week of March and it’s now May and we still have not even a single sprout. The worst part? I can’t get a refund unless I “mail it back”? How am I to mail back a cup of dirt? They clearly did not think this idea through haha.

I ordered it online and the box came empty and they couldn’t replace it so unfortunately I was not able to use it. I’ve been having more troubles with online orders being damaged or missing pieces lately.

My 2.5yo daughter is very excited for her strawberries to grow! It took about 2 weeks for the seeds to start sprouting and 4 weeks later, we have 4 sprouts! This Back to the Roots kit is easy to use and has everything you need to start growing strawberries.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wasn’t sure what to expect when unboxing the Kids Science Kit Strawberry variant. I love the design. The package is laid out to be minimalist (and environmentally friendly). There’s lots of activities to keep kids interested while the strawberries grow. There’s lots of guides you can pull up on your phone and little facts printed along the packaging. I can see this activity working well in schools, daycares, home schooling, etc.
Best way for kids to learn how to grow food

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a great project for the whole family to get involved. This is perfect for kids who want to learn how to grow their own food or just simply love growing plants. My daughter was super excited! Everything in this plant kit was very easy to set up. We've had this strawberry plant for over a month and now we are starting to see a little something growing. I can't wait to see how it looks six months from now. According to the box, there's a website where anyone can purchase more plant kits. I will definitely be looking more into that.
Educational fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun product and my daughter enjoyed planting the seeds. She checks them daily, but still no growth yet. We are hopeful that we will have some strawberry plants in the near future, though!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids and i had fun planting the seeds. The container itself is pretty flimsy and we needed to be sure we were gentle with it. So far our seeds have not sprouted, but a fun activity nonetheless.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids are really excited to crack this open! It’s #1 on our spring break to-do list! Everything looks great. All the supplies are there. Instructions seem easy to follow. It’s been cold and gloomy where we are so we’re hoping that we have warmer and sunnier days ahead for this. We plan on starting this off in our home and transferring it out to our backyard. We’re really excited about this and will probably pick up a couple kits on our own and have multiple sets and see which one of our plants has the best results. Really excited about this!
Great kit but buy a seed starting tray separately

The kit is perfect except for the pot. Makes the soil dry out a lot quicker than if you were to use one of the regular seed starting trays. I've tried both and so far I am having way better results with the tray I purchased than the pot that came in the kit

As a parent, I appreciate the emphasis on organic materials, ensuring safety and sustainability. The kit's focus on strawberries introduces children to botany and agriculture in a hands-on way, fostering curiosity about where food comes from. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making it accessible for both kids and parents alike. Overall, it's a fantastic blend of fun and learning that I highly recommend for any budding scientist or nature enthusiast.

Plants just began to grow as I bought two for my Grandaughter who loves strawberries! Purchased for her Easter basket. Waiting to see how many strawberries grow on each plant so we can eat some delicious strawberry treats! One of the boxes came with broken pieces and Target instantly replaced the damaged box with another. Target, as always, is the best!
Perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed this strawberry project. Shockingly the pre-teen did too! I like how it includes step by step guides and educational information. I felt like it was super easy to follow along and learn as you go. We did end up filling out pot up maybe a little too much, which may be why we haven’t seen anything sprouting yet. It’s been 3 weeks since we planted ours. It may be too early to tell or it could come down to user error. Either way, I will definitely purchase one of these kits again! Give it a try.
