Toy-Sized Plant Growers

The Animal Friend Backpack Planter Makes Growing Things Simple

— September 8, 2012 — Art & Design
The Animal Friend Backpack Planter is ideal for young children, and the plant growers are available from Perpetual Kid.

Their animal bodies are made out of ceramic, but their fluffy little tails are made out of fabric. With the help of these animal friends, you will barely need to do anything to make these plants grow. Their bodies easily attach to a glass, so all you have to do is put some water in and make sure their tail is able to get at it. The tail helps to regulate the water flow into the plant.

These designs are available in three different animals including a cat, a monkey and a dog to make growing plants fun.
