Bring a favourite fairytale to life by growing your very own ‘beanstalks’. Kids will love hearing the story of Jack planting magic beans that grew overnight and relating it to the beans you plant in our Watch Me Grow Kits. They will be enthralled learning about plant growth, being involved with watering them, and watching them transform every day.
