Teen Craft: Pokémon Terrarium

Teen Craft: Pokémon Terrarium

Teen Craft: Pokémon Terrarium

Create a natural home for some new Pokémon buddies, included in the kit.

To make this craft, you will need:

  • Small rocks/gravel
  • Potting Soil
  • Grass seeds
  • Terrarium/clear enclosed container
  • Optional: Pokémon

Fill the bottom of your terrarium with small rocks (keep some out if you want them for landscaping!). These will help with drainage. Spread about 2/3 of a cup of soil on top of the rocks, then sprinkle grass seeds on top. Cover with about 1/3 cup of soil; water and wait for your grass to grow! 

Add rocks, twigs, little Pokémon or other small figures, and other items to make your terrarium uniquely yours. 

No video instruction.
