This plant will bring hours of entertainment to kids of any age. The Sensitive Plant actually moves when you touch its leaves. The fine leaflets open in the daylight, yet when touched will collapse downward. Give them an hour or so and they'll open again. As plants mature, it forms small, pink puffs of bloom adding an extra feature to this unique species. What a perfect way to introduce children to the world of plants!
