Jack traded the cow for a handful of beans and woke up to a stalk in the clouds. This round steel tin gives a child the same beans and a fair chance at the same result: organic Phaseolus vulgaris seed, a garden stake, a pencil, activity and recipe cards and printed directions, packed in a recycled United States steel case with its own seed tin inside.

Pole beans climb fast and keep climbing, so there is something new to measure every few days. The tin is 1 inch high and 5 inches across, small enough to wrap and sturdy enough to keep the cards in afterwards.
