Postcard Seed Kit

Do your kids love watching seeds grow? Mine do, but like most NYC families the closest we'll get to our own garden is the kitchen windowsill. I'll bet they'd enjoy this Postcard Seed Kit from Calliope Boutique. It's a folded card that you can pop in the mail--when it arrives, you just open the 3-D scene, sprinkle it with the enclosed cress seeds, and watch the plant grow (it should last 2 to 3 weeks). The cover design features illustrations by young artists. $13 at Calliope Boutique.
