I was very excited when contacted about the Tickle Me Plant for kids. I enjoy telling my readers about strange and unusual plants and gardening techniques. The Tickle Me Plant, simply put, is a plant that responds when tickled.Kids love this plant grown from seed sold by the Tickle Me Plant company.

The Tickle Me Plant is well promoted by co-owner Mark Chipman. Mark is a former middle school science teacher. He knows the importance of instilling knowledge through experience and hopes to educate kids through the Tickle Me Plant.

The Tickle Me Plant, also known as Mimosa pudica or sensitive plant, is easy to grow. Kids just soak seeds overnight prior to planting. Plant 2-3 seeds ¼ inch deep in a small flower pot. If you don't have a pot, a cup with a hole in the bottom for drainage will do. Place the pot in a sunny window.

The Tickle Me Plant should emerge in about a week. The first leaves are not touch sensitive. The second set of leaves will react when tickled by moving. Kids get really excited and quickly learn that plants are indeed alive.

The Tickle Me Plant seeds come with science activities for kids. The seeds cost around 5.00 a pack. Also available from the Tickle Me Plant company are mini greenhouses, growing kits and party kits for the Tickle Me Plant.
