The long summer holidays are finally here – and for parents wondering how to keep children busy, engaged, and off screens, why not turn to nature for inspiration? 

Outdoor activities might not always be possible, but simple indoor gardening projects can capture young imaginations and offer hours of fun – especially when kids can watch the plants they've cared for grow and thrive. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a quiet morning at home, tending to their own plant projects is a rewarding way to keep little ones entertained. 

You can make the growing process even more exciting with LECHUZA’s OJO planters - designed especially for younger children and their green-fingered grown-ups. 

These playful, eye-catching planters are based on an original design by LECHUZA’s parent company, PLAYMOBIL, and let kids grow fun “hairstyles” using everything from ferns and succulents to fast-growing herbs like chives, parsley, and cress. With their expressive eyes and vibrant colours, OJO planters turn gardening into a game.
