A terrarium is a little garden inside its own home—we’ll build ours inside a special glass container where you can watch it grow, feeling like a giant watching over your own magical land. But before we put the lid on, we’ll add some treasures: You can build your own creature to guard the garden, or add special finds (like shells, favorite rocks, or anything else you’ve collected). We’ll send you home with care instructions, and you’re in charge of your creation.
Ages Grades 3-6 + Tweens & Teens
Class size 10
Tuition $15
