Product Overview

Engino's Botanic Laboratory turns plant science into a build-it-yourself project. Kids snap together 251 Engino parts to build a working greenhouse model, then plant real seeds and watch how temperature, moisture, and light affect growth. The set includes 4 different models to construct one at a time, and is built for kids ages 9+.

Builds a fully functional greenhouse using Engino's snap-fit brick system
Grows real plants inside the model while experimenting with temperature, moisture, and light conditions
Covers photosynthesis, ventilation, and gardening concepts through hands-on experimentation instead of textbook learning
251 pieces construct 4 different models, one at a time

WARNING:

CHOKING HAZARD

Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
