Nice book that covers the components of a terrarium and has 15 projects geared towards putting together as a family. I liked the example projects, and there is good info and lots of photos. The book does talk quite a bit about using succulents, though, and from personal experience and succulent research, they do not do well in terrariums.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A Family Guide to Terrariums for Kids. I absolutely love this book you can build fairy gardens for kids. I might order copies for my grandchildren for Christmas and maybe buy some little things to actually make one for each of them. I loved the illustrations and is a very quick read.

This is a fantastic little book. Perfect for kids, families and even a novice of Terrariums. I am very new to the world of Terrariums and I find this useful. It explains what types of different terrariums can be made, what different types of plants you should use and how to look after them. I also goes through the other things you will need to create a terrarium, the substrate, containers and ornaments etc.

It has step by step guides on how to create about 15 different terrarium projects. This is really helpful and would be fun for kids to follow and create their own masterpieces. Each tutorial has a clear list of everything you need to create that particular terrarium and it also has photos for each of the steps. This makes it really easy to follow.

This is a great book if you are wanting to start out in the world of terrariums and don't have a clue where to start, it is also a great activity to get your kids involved and keep them entertained for hours!

What a great book. Very clear instructions. May be written for kids, but novices like me can learn a lot. I like how the author explains everything in simple, explicit steps. From type of terrarium to the implements needed, and plants to complete. Thank you.

This book looks like a lot of fun for kids and also adults to make terrariums. There was plenty of information on what you need to build different types of terrariums and I thought it was neat that you could keep a pet praying mantis in your terrarium, I didn’t even know you could have a pet praying mantis! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to garden or even to someone who is looking for a relaxing hobby.

This is a fantastic book for families and teachers. It is educational in the fact it tells you about the products you will be using, but it is also fun as you learn how to make the cutest terrariums. The color images are great to show what you will be making and a teacher could use them to show what the class will be making. My daughter is 14 and super excited to try making some of these terrariums. I am also hoping to show this to the teacher in the autistic classroom which my client is enrolled. She might find these fun for the class.

Author Patricia Buzo shares her passion in A Family Guide To Terrariums for kids. The book is well illustrated with easy to follow instructions and beautiful photos for creating your own Terrarium at any age.

I was given this opportunity to read this book for free on NetGalley. I love this book! I just preordered and purchased 2 books from AMAZON.

A very fun and interesting book for kids, but also grown ups. I loved looking through those ideas what I could do with plants and terrariums. Great inspiration and good explanation for this good guide.

A Family Guide to Terrariums for Kids is a fun and practical tutorial guide for planning and creating terraria with the whole family. Due out 15th Sept 2020 from Quarto on their Cool Springs Press imprint, it's 112 pages and will be available in paperback format.

The layout is appealing and unfussy - easy to understand and accessible. It's full of very colorful photos and step by step tutorial graphics showing kids making their own terraria (with some help).

The introduction covers some of the benefits of making a terrarium, selecting plants, and caring for them. The first chapters include a good introduction to selecting a container, preparing the terrarium and selecting planting substrate and other ingredients, plant selection and maintenance and aftercare.

The bulk of the book is taken up with 15 specific project tutorials (including succulent terrarium, marimo moss ball aquarium, carnivorous planting, and more). Each of the tutorials includes a materials list with items listed bullet style in a sidebar, a description, and step by step tutorials with photos. They are all very attractive and appealing and the photos are clear and easy to follow. Most of the plants have both the common and botanical (Latin) names listed for clarity.

The author has also included a short bio, resource list for sourcing plants and containers, and an index. This would make a superlative choice for a family with kids or home study unit, schoolroom or library activity (when/where allowed), makers groups and similar.

Five stars. This is also a great choice for a kid-friendly lockdown activity.
