Paint the special planter with the paints (three primary colors included), fill with soil, and then plant the enclosed beans and grass seeds. Then it's time to arrange the tiny fairy cottage, use the green pebbles to make a tiny path, and decorate the garden with the rocks, shells, and plastic animals that come with the kit. As the beans sprout and grow, you can cut and shape them so they look like miniature trees--and for variety, add pepper, lemon, cantaloupe, and tomato seeds and watch just what comes up. --John Longenbaugh

From Parents' Choice®
Children decorate the planter dish, create a landscape and plant the seeds that are enclosed (in the incipient garden). Within a few days they sprout and begin to grow so vigorously that, in a short time, serious young gardeners will consider transplanting. (Ruth B. Roufberg, Parent's Choice® 1996)
