Mom and Dad are planning on starting an aquaponic fish farm, so they thought I might enjoy learning about hydroponic plant growing. The listing displays a huge warning that this product is a choking hazard for kids under, 3, but I'm 4 and a half so it should be fine. For some reason, later in the description there's another warning about a choking hazard for kids under 8 too, but that part says 'parent must be present.' Mom didn't seem to worried about it, and she went ahead and added it to our Wish List.She also just noticed tonight that we can 'share' our Wish Lists on FaceBook and Twitter, so she said she might set up pages for my blog, and my brother Michaels' blog so she could share them there. But she said she would have to look and see if she could set up different 'wish lists' for each of us because she doesn't want to share her wishes with people on any pages she sets up for me or Michael.
Anyway, this is what Amazon has to say about the DuneCraft Dome Terrariums Hydro-Dome

There aren't any reviews yet, but Mom says when we get it, we'll write the first one.
Hydroponics is a great way for kids to start learning about gardening. After you get that down, look into aquaponics - its just like hydroponics but with fish!
ReplyDeleteThat's Mom's plan. I think Dad likes the idea of fish too.
