Bobbins Jinglehoof’s Carrot Tops & Wheatgrass GrowTub (Christmas Edition)
Grow magical reindeer treats with Bobbins Jinglehoof — your Growimal Christmas reindeer friend. Perfect for children, families and anyone who loves festive traditions, growing real plants and creating Christmas Eve magic without any mess.
Meet Bobbins Jinglehoof
Ho ho ho! Bobbins Jinglehoof is ready to join your Christmas crew. This frosty-hoofed reindeer loves chilling out with friends, trotting through snowy forests and using special “snow vision” to spot trouble (or cheeky wolves) in the snow. Ice blue is Bobbins’s favourite colour, and Christmas Eve is the most exciting night of the year.
Now Bobbins needs your help to grow a fresh, home-grown snack of carrot tops and wheatgrass, ready to nibble on during the big Christmas Eve journey.
Each GrowTub includes a personal letter from Bobbins, inviting you to become part of the Christmas Crew and help replant the world — festively fantastic and full of growing magic.
What is a GrowTub?
GrowTubs are character-themed growing kits designed to be fun, mess-free and completely zero-waste. Every component is reusable, recyclable or home-compostable, so once your plants are grown there’s nothing harmful left behind — no plastic pots, no rubbish, no plastic waste.
Each GrowTub features a different Growimal with seeds specifically chosen to match their world and story. Bobbins’s GrowTub is a special Christmas edition, designed to help children grow treats for visiting reindeer.
What’s Inside
- Seeds
- Peat-free soil (coir)
- Certified home-compostable inner pot
- Simple growing guide
- Character pot insert
- Celebration sticker
- Mini Christmas decoration stickers for your wheatgrass
Everything is packed inside a beautifully illustrated Christmas GrowTub. Once your seeds are planted, you can reuse the tub in all sorts of creative, festive ways.
What You’ll Grow: Carrot Tops and Wheatgrass
Your Super Seed Pack contains carrot and wheatgrass seeds:
- Wheatgrass sprouts quickly and grows into a lush, bright green “reindeer lawn”.
- Carrot tops take longer, producing soft, feathery greens that reindeer love.
The seed mix is chosen so that something will germinate on a windowsill in December, with wheatgrass usually appearing first. If you start growing them at the beginning of December, you can have a lovely patch of fresh greens ready for Christmas Eve.
Why These Plants Are Perfect for Reindeer (and Nature)
Carrot tops and wheatgrass make a cracking Christmas combo:
- Wheatgrass gives reindeer a fresh, juicy snack after their long night of flying.
- Carrot tops are a classic favourite, turning into feathery greens that look and feel like real reindeer food.
- Both plants can keep growing after Christmas, and if you plant them outside later they will go on helping soil, insects and local wildlife.
Together, these plants turn your windowsill into a tiny reindeer snack bar — and then into a mini patch of nature that keeps on giving after the big day.

Simple Planting Steps
A Grow Guide is included with each GrowTub, with clear, child-friendly instructions. The process of planting a GrowTub is designed for simplicity, joy and circularity — so that each component can be composted, recycled or reused afterwards.
- Add water to the soil (coir) disc.
- Sprinkle the carrot and wheatgrass seeds evenly over the surface and lightly cover with soil.
- Wait while the seeds germinate — and use the QR code to learn what the seeds are doing under the soil.
- Look for shoots after a few days to a week. Wheatgrass usually appears first; carrot tops take longer to show.
- Keep the pot on a bright windowsill and turn it occasionally so everything grows evenly.
- On Christmas Eve, put the GrowTub out somewhere special for the reindeer, then check on Christmas morning to see if Bobbins and friends have taken a nibble.
- After Christmas, keep growing the plants indoors for a little while, then plant them outside in spring to keep the magic going in your garden.
Eco Impact
Growing carrot tops and wheatgrass at home is a gentle way to show children how food grows and why living plants matter. Instead of buying extra plastic-wrapped “reindeer snacks”, you use a compostable pot and peat-free soil to grow your own.
After Christmas, planting the greens outside helps enrich the soil and adds a little more life to your local patch of nature. It turns a one-night tradition into a longer-lasting connection with the natural world.
Why Growing Your Own Christmas Treats Matters
Christmas can create a lot of extra waste — from plastic packaging to throwaway decorations. Growing your own reindeer treats in a compostable pot shows children that Christmas magic does not have to mean more rubbish.
Instead of packaging, you have real plants. Instead of plastic, you have soil, roots and new life. This GrowTub turns part of your Christmas Eve tradition into something that is kind to the planet as well as exciting for children.
How You Grow Matters
GrowTubs are fully compostable, so they return to the soil with nothing wasted. Plastic pots, by contrast, are made from fossil fuels and can last 200–500 years. They outlive the plant that grew in them many times over and shed persistent pollution and microplastics as they break down.
By choosing a compostable pot, you’re creating habitat — not waste. It’s a far better choice for wildlife, soil health and the planet.
Ideal as a Gift
This Christmas GrowTub is a thoughtful gift for children and families who love festive traditions, nature and hands-on activities. Ideal for advent surprises, Christmas Eve boxes, stockings or as a seasonal treat to enjoy together in December.
Explore the full Growimals range to collect every character and grow new habitats and stories throughout the year.
