TickleMe Plant

Grades K+.

Tickle this sensitive plant and it moves! Promotes excitement and sensitivity toward plants. When touched, the TickleMe Plant™ (Mimosa pudica) quickly closes its leaves and even its branches move down when tickled. These plants also appear to sleep at night by closing up their leaves. The seeds can sprout in a matter of days and within a month the plant will move when tickled. Adult plants can produce pink flowers. Includes two plant seed packets (each with 10-20 seeds), reusable greenhouse made of recycled plastic, six flower pots, six coco-peat soil pellets, 10 fun science experiment ideas, and instructions.
