I went to the http://www.TickleMeplant
web site. It's a real fun site and I learned so much about The TickleMe Plant. Am I the only one that never saw a plant move when it was tickled? I love this plant!
I ordered the custom party favors as my daughter wanted to give away something unique and this fit the bill, at a very low cost at that! I can't wait to grow my own!

Here is another fun IN THE GARDEN activity. How about spending an hour getting your young gardeners (and those young at heart), excited about plants and nature? I thought your young gardeners would enjoy an indoor gardening adventure, growing the TickleMe Plant (Mimosa pudica). Recently featured by the National Gardening Associations Kids Store, http://www.kidsgardeningstore.com/14-1030.html If you want to give your young gardeners an experience they will never forget, consider having them grow a TickleMe Plant. This is the plant that will close its leaves and lower its branches when you tickle it. They sprout in days and can be grown indoors any time of year. Just Google TickleMe Plants or go to http://www.TickleMePlant.com for seeds and growing kits. This plant has turned many kids into plant and nature lovers. I know, because I grow TickleMe Plants in my classroom. Your children may never look at plants in the same way and neither will you! Happy Growing

My 5-year-old loves to help with "jobs." My favorite job to give her is to "swiffer" my wood floors. I just give her the dry dusting cloths on the end of my swiffer, and she loves pushing it around the house (I love that crumbs and dust get picked up!) I also give her the cloths to wipe down wooden furniture for a quick dusting. I figure I had better take advantage of her willingness to help while she finds it exciting!
