Toys and Games Reviews of Schylling - Magic Garden
Customer Review: Poorly designed - stick with ToySmith
Summary: 1 Stars
We had a lot of lucky with the Christmas tree from ToySmith and my daughter enjoyed it, so while doing some last minute Christmas shopping I picked this up. It was VERY difficult to get any of the pieces to stay in place, and I LOVE to put things together. Even my husband had problems getting anything to stay in place. We finally resorted to using scissors to get things to be the correct size. The tray is SUPER flimsy (not at all like the hard plastic from the ToySmith Christmas tree), the grass strips are way to long, the base of the trees is too wide to fit in the circle, the slots in the two tree pieces are cut wide so they collapse and do not stay together, the mountain does not fit the couture of the hole provided no matter how you fold it, troughs for the liquid are too shallow, and the whole tray bows so even on our flat countertop the pieces fall over. We put it together (after about 30 minute of trimming and manipulating) on the counter before bed, poured the liquid in the best we could, and went to bed, when I woke up both of the trees had fallen over. ARGG! The flip side is that it did grow, but the snow is not on the top of the mountain (only the lower 2/3), which does not make sense and the middle part of the garden did not grow at all even though I made sure all the piece had adequate liquid. I think I will stick with the ToySmith version. The tray is hard plastic, and the is a perfect x cut in it to put the tree in so it stay. That product can be easily moved - not true of this one. It is headed for the trash. :(
Description of Schylling - Magic Garden
This crystal kit appeals to children's sense of wonder. Amazingly, the garden of paper trees and grass becomes a lush oasis of blooming crystals within 10 hours. The tree branches turn into puffs of pink cherry blossom crystals, the green stalks of grass sprout daffodil and tuliplike blossoms. Even the looming mountain in the distance grows a glacier of sparkling white snow crystals. The set includes a tray for holding the origami-like paper scene, as well as all the tools for making the paper garden come to life. This makes great entertainment for children of all ages, although children under 8 years old may be too young to help assemble this delicate paper scene. --Gail HudsonCraft Kits Toys
