The pink and purple box is pretty large and pleasantly easy to unbox and set up, with clear and step-by-step instructions. There is a section which refers to an alternative piece of equipment which we do not have in this set, and that was the only thing that sent us into a panic of wondering what we were doing wrong. All the Gemex crafts kits parts are interchangeable and the mould shapes are really fun which makes creating them very addictive. Plus you can experiment using different decorations… googly eyes, cooking sprinkles, glitter, coloured sand etc. Did you enjoy this post? What a great list of best presents for eight year old girls. So why not hang around and read a few more whilst you’re here. If you want to get in the Christmas spirit I’ve got several posts you’ll like: Stains on the skin: Wash the skin with soap and warm water. For deep staining, keep going until most of the colour has gone. It may take a few washes for the ink to disappear completely. Once the mould has cooled, you can then pop out the gems and add them to the hairclips or keyring or make jewellery such as rings and clip-on earrings. The gems come out very solid and have a flawless clarity, colour and texture.
The GEMEX sets use gel poured into moulds and with the aid of the magic light transforms it into gorgeous sparkling gems that can be used for jewellery making or decorations for a variety of other crafts projects. My children are 8, 5 and 2 so I waited until my younger boy was asleep (a compromise to them all being asleep) before getting the Gemex set out. If your children have any Schleich toys then you’ll know how amazing they are and just the best quality. And this Schleich Horse Club looks no different. The Horse Club is a whole branch of Schleich toys and this Lakeside ranch is at its centre. It’s the perfect home for character Hannah, her family and obviously lots of horses. The kids will have hours of fun with all these moveable figures and accessories.It’s definitely earned its place among the best presents for eight year old girls. BOOKEEZ The key thing to think about is the age of your child. The torch sets allow the resin gems to be cured in situ where as the magic clam shell requires the moulds to be lifted and placed inside them! This giveaway will run for two weeks, ending on September 16th at 11.59p.m. - a winner will be chosen at random via the Gleam widget.To use Blo Pens simply put one of the stencils onto a sheet of paper, blow through your pen and see your pictures appears with amazing airbrush effects. Add the glitter for extra sparkly details and shimmer. It is recommended that you wear an apron or protective clothing when using BLOPENS® and that surfaces or surrounding furnishes as protected with old newspaper or similar. On receipt of the product and after scanning over the box I realised that there was a strong chance that I would be creating these jewels in secret when the kids were asleep (I’m not even joking) as it looked fantastic!
The Blo Pens Glitter Studio lets you colour and create decorations as well as make a beautiful butterfly mobile. The easel has lots of storage for your pens and glitters so that you have a mess-free work area. As a side-note I would love to see a company make a “boys/unisex version” of something like this as well, to open it up to children’s different tastes. Now when I say this, I am not referring to colour or the decorations necessarily as we don’t have a house of defined girls toys and boys toys. However my son doesn’t want to wear hair clips or a bracelet, so his part of the craft was more concerned with the key-ring and making things for me. 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. This isn’t a criticism in any way, just a suggestion as it is such a fantastic toy. By entering this giveaway you are giving permission for your details to be passed on to the person sending your prize. The water-based inks in Blopens® can sometimes stain skin and fabrics, however these can usually be removed by following the instructions below. Do not wear pre-washed clothing if you are using BLOPENS®Wave your magic wand and make a cute furry friend with the Magic Mixies Magic Cauldron. Experience real magic and be amazed when you see what magically appears from the mist once your child has cast their spell. The Magic Mixies then react to touch and respond to the magic wand. 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. This is definitely one of the best presents for eight year old girls you can get. What’s not to love! ROALD DAHL VITAMINS Extra’s– A small pair of jewellery pliers are useful for getting the jump rings through the gem holes so you can attach them to chains and bracelets What Do We Think Of The Gemex Craft Sets The set is very creative, easy to use and the finished product is very solid and durable. An excellent set to encourage a child’s creativity and a good way to spend some quality time with them. It would also be good for arts & crafts sessions if you are doing home schooling. With very little gel used after our first use, it should last a while, making it good value for money. 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. In the box is: She has not only loved creating her own gems, decorated in her own unique designs, but has really enjoyed the jewellery making aspect to give her creations to elder sister as well and wearing them herself.
