“I recently got the Little Sprouts Garden Box and my son absolutely loved it! He had so much fun sowing the carrot seeds and sunflowers, and it’s been such a joy for him to watch them grow. The activities, like making a nature wander, made it even more engaging and hands-on. It’s a wonderful way to spark curiosity about gardening and nature. Highly recommend for little explorers! 🌱🌻🥕”
“I came across this subscription box a few months ago and immediately fell in love with the idea. Often, these sorts of things sound better than they turn out to be, but not in this case! The kits arrive beautifully packaged, clearly put together with thought and consideration. My little girl loves getting them in the post and that’s before we even do any of the activities it includes. We have loved planting the seasonal things that comes in each box and learning about Irish mythology, magic and lore in the process. I really could not recommend these more - we love them!”
“I got the fairy activity box for my 6 year old daughter, Ella and she absolutely loved it! The activities were easy to do together and she was completely absorbed making her fairy garden and writing tiny letters to the fairies. It was such a lovely way to spark her imagination and get her outdoors . No screens, just creative fun. We will definitely be subscribing!”
I grew up in a garden centre, studied archaeology and created Little Sprouts to help families share the kind of childhood moments that stay with us.
Growing something, noticing the seasons and hearing the old stories of this island.
