Tickle Me Plant

Easy to grow, inexpensive, and best of all, interactive, the Tickle Me Plant ($11) is a fun way to get even little kids excited about biology. Buy just seeds or a whole kit to start the Tickle Me Plant experience. Seeds start to sprout in a few days, and within a short time will develop those fascinating leaves that quickly close up and seem to squirm away at the touch of your tickling finger! They’ll pop back open in about 15 minutes, but will fold up and go to sleep at night. Experiment to see how your plants grow the best, or even use them for a science fair project.
