My family loves terrariums and succulents. We have several throughout our home including these large recycled glass versions. However, Eben really wanted one for his bedroom in our new home. Terrariums are super easy and fun to make with children — they are so simple in fact that your child can do all of the work himself. They are also super low maintenance, teach your child responsibility (they need to be watered), they’re a great conversation piece, and they look amazing while providing fresh air. Every time we have friends and family members over they always check out the terrariums!
You can use any glass container to create a zen terrarium for your children. I suggest checking your recycling bin and kitchen cabinets. We had an old fish bowl and decided it would make a fun terrarium, especially for a kids room — it has a whimsical shape that just screams childhood. Everything else you can find in your garage or potting shed. Jump over to Inhabitots learn how to make a miniature dinosaur zen garden with your kids and get your hands dirty with them this week.
