Why the TickleMe Plant Is the Best Interactive Plant for Kids
Have you ever wished you could find a plant that would truly amaze a child?
The TickleMe Plant® is one of nature's most fascinating plants because it actually moves when you touch it. With just a gentle tickle, the leaves instantly fold closed before magically reopening a few minutes later.

A Plant That Makes Kids Want to Learn
Many children think plants just sit there.
The TickleMe Plant changes that forever.
