Caterpillar Garden Box Set
The Caterpillar Garden Box Set brings playful design and practical function to any children's garden planter setup. With bright colors and a friendly caterpillar shape, this set invites young learners to explore planting, watering, and caring for living things in an engaging outdoor space.
Encourage Hands-On Gardening Play
This garden box set for kids includes 3 freestanding planters that can be arranged in a line to form a cheerful caterpillar. Each box offers space for planting flowers, herbs, or small vegetables, helping children participate in meaningful outdoor play and early science activities. At only 12"H, the approachable size makes it easy for children to reach in, dig, and explore while supporting fine-motor development and hand/eye coordination.
Flexible, Colorful Learning Setup
The 3 boxes can be spaced or grouped to fit different outdoor classroom layouts. One planter features a 21-1/2"H caterpillar head, adding character and storytelling opportunities during gardening activities. The green, orange, and blue colors create a visually inviting space that encourages children to return, observe changes, and stay engaged with the gardening process.
Built for Outdoor Durability
Each planter is made of durable high-density polyethylene that's designed to withstand daily outdoor use. Built-in drainage holes help prevent overwatering and keep soil conditions balanced, which supports healthy plant growth. Each box supports up to 100 lb and arrives fully assembled, giving educators a reliable and low-maintenance solution for outdoor learning environments. Each box is 18"L x 12"W x 12"H. Orange and blue boxes are 19 lb; green box is 22 lb.
