A unique party favor for a forest of one's own - The terrarium kit

The start of the school year means once again, the hunt for creative party favors and teacher gifts begins. Well we've brought you cookies in a jar, dreidels in a jar, and pickles in a jar. Now we've got a forest in a jar-- made by your very own kid.

 

The Terrarium Kit from the Acme Party Box company is a sweet way to bring the outside in. The kid includes everything you need to make one sweet little terrarium-- except the soil and plants, although they include a guide with helpful suggestions so you don't end up with a bouquet of poison ivy.

Add in the soft tuft of moss, pebbles, labels, and adorable vintage German animal and mushroom figurines, and you've got a beautiful and very original party favor, teacher gift, or hostess gift.
