Terrarium

Here at Earthling Kids, we love the desert and tundra biomes. We know that it is hard to visit deserts. This is a fun way to bring the desert to you. This terrarium can be personalized to fit your home decor.

Deserts are fun but need a different type of plants.

Supply List:

  • A glass fishbowl

  • Soil

  • Pebbles

  • Activated Charcoal

  • Succulents

  • Plastic spoon

Instructions:

Set-up:

We recommend using a table cover such as the one in our video during all our crafts. This will protect your workspace. You can get this type of table cover in the party section of most department stores for a couple dollars.

Setting up your terrarium:

  1. Take the glass fishbowl and place it in front of you

  2. Add a layer of the activated charcoal using the plastic spoon

  3. Add a layer of soil using the plastic spoon

Planting the succulent:

  1. Make a hole in the soil big enough for the succulent

  2. Take the succulent out of the plastic container

  3. Give the bottom soil a small squeeze to loosen the roots of the succulent

  4. Place the succulent in the terrarium

Personalizing your terrarium:

  1. Place the pebbles on top of the soil

  2. For more fun add plastic figurines like dinosaurs or princesses

Clean up:

  1. Clean up any mess from planting and filling the terrarium

  2. Wipe down and remove the table cover

  3. Put away extra soil, charcoal, and pebbles
