We gave this to our 8 (almost 9-year-old) son for Christmas, and it is a huge hit. He had hours of fun painting the castle, the tower, and the fire-breathing dragon. Then, he planted the seeds and has a blast each day checking in to see how much they've grown. This is worth every penny -- lots of creative fun, and the thrill of growing and tending plants from seeds. Will last well past the holiday. And I love cooking with the basil he's growing -- so there's a little something in it for Mom, too. Three cheers for the Faber Castell people for coming up with a constructive, creative gift that doesn't make noise and gives little guys the thrill of seeing something grow. Highly recommended as an unusual birthday or holiday gift.

Great for a cristmas, birthday, or other gift! Great quality and entertainment factor,along with the eductional factor, is super high! I love this thing. Painting it was really fun, even though the castle was pretty much gray, and the dragon was green. BUT, however i did make my whole garden thing have a silver/purple "theme". I got it on x-mas and today my grass is 1 inch long on most seedlings. I planted the seeds, then watered, then(like most people) expected the GRASS to shoot right up and grow quick. woah was i wrong. normal grass is very quick growing and i though this was normal grass.. well normal for a twelve year old.This grass happends to be wheat grass! The grass seeds given have the apperance of small corn kernalls(how do you spell that dang word?). You water.. you water... you wait a week.. wait another week.. then, in the middle of thinking you did something wrong, the tiniest little green thing is barely showing though the dirt. You fall asleep and wake up the next morning.. 20 green grass blades are bout three cenemeters tall and looking like they have been there for days, maybe a week! Point is, the grass is tricky. With the basil though... same amount of time( i set this up on christmas day) one tiny seed has sprouted, but i don't have much expectations for the basil anyway, so it can do what it likes! Before the grass was sprouting, as soon as i found out it was wheat grass, i went online as found out wheat grass is just very high quality grass.(in the plant world.) I ,gardener exdorninaire,was suprized i did not know this. Anywho,.. This garden is great! It fit in very nicely with my other gardening gifts, a chia frog(fav animal), and a galactic garden.(cool grow-in-gel plant thing). Be aware, i am a very patient pre-teen(12), but this "toy" was apparently made for "younger" "kids"(silly right?) and i would make sure if giving it to a kid make sure they have a ounce of patience in them. other than that, they will love it! I mean, i got a digital camera/video recorder and this was still my favorite gift! hope you buy it, hope ya like it!
