Editorial Review

It's a bit retro and takes a little patience, but the Pretty Petals Scented Flower Maker lets children create a sweet little bouquet of handmade plastic flowers. Dexterity and patience are the name of the game here. The creator is required to wrap wire around a mold, place it in the template, paint it, let it dry for about eight hours, and then peel. The scented stamens (which do smell like flowers) are then added and twisted. Don't expect the final creation to resemble exactly what's depicted on the box, but it should be a close-enough facsimile, and there's a certain pride in making one's own creation. Included in the kit are petal and leaf molds, colored flower-molding material, scented flower stamens, stem wraps, plastic-coated wire, a flowerpot, sand, and instructions. With its floral bouquets, this kit is designed for young girls and is a fun project for friends to do together. Parents will probably want to supervise (or at least be available to help) the youngest kids. --N.F. Mendoza

4.0 out of 5 stars absolutely beautiful, March 29, 2001

By A Customer

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

My daughter received this kit for her fifth birthday. Although it is recommended for 6 years and above she was able to twist the wire around the petal molds and around the stamen. She did need help with making sure she used enough paint and covered the wire and with wrapping the stem. She loved creating her own flowers and the waiting to let it dry only increased her excitement as she checked the petals to see how the color of the paint got brighter as it dried. This product yields results that match the packaging. It does require a child to have patience using the wire and doing the painting it isn't a project that can be rushed. NSi makes mamy other craft kits which we have tried and loved.

4.0 out of 5 stars What about the perls ?, July 10, 2001

Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

This would be my second box of pretty petals i bought for my daughter. She loves making them for family and friends.O.K I'll admit I enjoy making them also.Honestly the only part my 6 year old can do on her own is the painting part,but nevertheless she enjoys and takes the full credit for making them.The one and only problem that really upset her was the middles of the flowers,you know the scented things were not exactly what she expected.On the box they were PERLS and all she got was some plastic fake looking thing. ... . Small for me but a HUGE dissapointement for my 6 year old when she opened up her seconed box only to find the same cheep looking middles. poor her!!!
