Green Toys Sesame Street Abby’s Garden

(Green Toys $19.99)

Get those little green thumbs in action with this 17-piece preschool science kit with three colorful pots made of 100% recycled plastic, three seed packets for growing basil, carrots, and sunflowers. Abby's Garden also includes three pucks of soil, plant markers, an activity guide, and stickers to decorate the pots. Of course you'll need to transplant the carrots and sunflowers to a much larger pot or to the garden. The little pots are just right for starting seedlings.

This is just one of the components of a Green Toy line dedicated to the young botanist. Green Toys also has a six-piece Watering Can Set ($19.99 ) with 2 packets of seeds and a small rake and trowel for working directly in the garden. The watering can is available in red, pink and blue. 3-6
