Meland FGP004 Purple Unicorn Terrarium Kit with Two Lights and Glow-in-the-Dark Unicorns

Some craft kits are meant to be completed and put away, this one lets kids build a fantasy scene they can keep on display. The Meland FGP004 Purple Unicorn Terrarium Kit combines a hands-on layering activity with a clear jar, miniature decorations, and lights that bring the finished garden to life.

Kids arrange colored sand, crystals, pebbles, and decorative pieces to create their own purple unicorn scene. The lid light and separate light string add colorful illumination, while four mini unicorns glow after absorbing daylight or lamplight.

Technical overview

This indoor terrarium kit centers on a clear, round plastic carry jar, so the layered design and small decorations stay visible when the craft is finished. The scene includes purple sand, colored crystals, a large clear crystal, a white pebble, decorative moss, plants, a castle, mushrooms, and six unicorns. Four of the miniature unicorns glow in the dark after exposure to daylight or lamplight, the remaining figures help complete the fantasy setting.

Two separate lighting elements make the display adaptable: a remote-controlled light in the lid and a multicolor LED string that can be arranged among the decorations. The lighting offers a different way to enjoy the creation after dark, while the clear container makes the colors and details easy to see on a desk, shelf, or nightstand. The kit is designed for ages 5–12. Children ages 8–12 can generally follow the illustrated guide independently, while younger children may enjoy making the terrarium with an adult.

Practical tips

Start by arranging the base layers, then add the decorative pieces to shape the garden before positioning the unicorns and lights. This gives children room to make the scene their own and see how the colors and crystal details work together. The activity is tool-free, making it a straightforward choice for a craft table, a rainy-day project, or creative time away from screens.

For the glow-in-the-dark effect, let the four glowing unicorns absorb daylight or lamplight before viewing them in a darker room. The remote-controlled lid light and the separate string lights provide additional color for display. Once assembled, the carry handle makes it easy to move the jar from the crafting area to a bedroom, playroom, desk, or shelf.

The set includes one clear carry jar, an illustrated manual, a gift card, and two glow-in-the-dark sticker sheets. For the base, there is one pack of sand, two packs of colored crystals, one large white crystal, and one white pebble.
