The only issue we found is not to use cheap batteries as the backs of the gems can come out tacky and will need another cycle in the clamshell.

You can place the enchanted forest background in your jar with coloured stones and grass-green felt. Whist waiting, the stars on the clamshell with flash different colours to let you know it is working.

The youngest is really into making things with polymer clay at the moment, with her latest creation being Harry Potter on a broomstick for her Potter mad older sister.

They can bring their ideas to life by decorating ,stamping, and stenciling pages to see stories transform using the special Bookeez tools. With a few sets in the GEMEX range we were sent the GEMEX Deluxe Creation Station, which is suitable for children ages 5 years and upwards and can make up to 100 gems.The final step is to place the mould inside the central shell light on the creation station, close the lid and press the button. Using these Oaka packs will mean children who may have lost classroom time over the past few years will understand and remember topics more quickly, giving them valuable time for catching up on life in general. DISCLOSURE: We received this product for free for the purpose of writing an honest and impartial review. An excellent set to encourage a child’s creativity and a good way to spend some quality time with them.

One of our jewels also fell off the hair clip after about an hour, although it is possible that we didn’t use enough of the setting liquid so we will try again or resort to super glue. Don’t dismiss this as yet another jewellery craft as I almost did, it’s different from anything else that I’ve seen. The Deluxe Creation Station has everything you need to make up to 100 gorgeous gems and then turn them into hairclips, necklaces, keychains and much more.

Choose the right ones and they can coincide with the topics they’re doing at school and be even more fun.

Using the special trays, create your gems by carefully squeezing the liquid magic into the shapes and adding decorations. We found that taking it out of the mould, flipping it over and giving it another three-minute blast helped and sometimes allowing it to cure overnight really crisps it up.

They love to perform spells and may even grant you a wish as their gem lights up, and their energy levels become stronger the more your child nurtures and cares for them. They’re designed to make cultural education accessible to all children, regardless of background and heritage. Kids get a kick out of pressing a button to open the pop-up straw for effortless one-handed drinking, and they can easily push the spout under the cover to protect the mouthpiece from the elements. The colour-changing LED can act as a night-light, and a special key in the sound compartment unlocks a special code to discover lots of fun, fairy activities online too. If your girls love card games such as Snap and Happy Families they will love these new illustrated playing cards from Sheni and Teni.Once the gems are created you can really start to get crafty by turning them into hairclips, necklaces, keychains and much more. I know that if there had been more key-rings, some sort of alternative ring mould and a wrist band of sorts, where he could add darker coloured decorations and perhaps superhero faces, he would have been delighted.
