“Jungle Magic Garden Sciencz – Explore the magical world of Botany” Review

My first grader who is almost 7 years old now is learning about plants in her school and it is wonderful to see her taking a lot of interest in them. She first learned about different types of plants and now she is curious about how they grow and she has planted and grown some plants both in school and at home.

She is also full of questions about how we grow our food, cereal crops, pulses etc. and as always I think of this as an opportunity to let her explore the topic herself. I, like many others, believe that just mugging stuff won’t help kids unless they are aware of actual goings on of any subject.

I have got some books for her and was looking for more resources when I landed my hands on just the perfect kit.

It is the “Jungle Magic Garden Sciencz – Explore the magical world of Botany” kit by Piramal Healthcare. So, here is my review of the kit, which will give you a peek of this wonderful product.
