Where Will Your Green Thumbs Take You Today?

Baby botanists get ready, get set, get digging.

The Young Scientists Club has a new spring kit for little kids to get their thumbs - and the rest of their fingers - dirty. The Science on a Garden Adventure set is stocked with a small plastic terrarium, peat pellets and seeds for spinach, wheat, marigold and zinnias - plus all they need to put together a real science experiment.

There's the makings of a sun dial, mini garden tools for mini garden makers and pH tests to cover all the bases (and acids too).

And in case this is sounding too much like science class, they threw in a few sheets of stickers and a pack of plastic bugs to make this educational adventure a whole lot of fun.

Get the kit from Kid Science Kits.

ABC Kids Expo 2008: Plan City Adventure Set From Plan Toys

Plan Toys are really awesome. They're all made from recycled rubber wood trees, stained (as opposed to painted) and fun to play with. Every kid I think who was at ABC with their parents probably stopped by the Plan Toys booth at one point and played with their stuff. My favorite is the Plan City Adventure Set.

The Plan City Adventure Set is a play set that you can buy in parts, and the great thing about it is the tracks build out into four different levels. I can really see lots of parents and kids playing with this together. All of the parts are compatible with other Plan Toys products, and they're also compatible with Brio and Thomas the Train toys too. In the Plan City Adventure Set they drive cars and not trains (as you can see from the picture) but it you're a train family you can get trains too.

Plan City, Table $220 and Adventure Set is $190. Check out all of the great stuff at PlanToys.com.
