HABA Ambassador review - Creative Workshop Flowers

This is my first review as a HABA Ambassador and my first experience of the HABA range of toys and furniture.

This review is for the HABA Creative Workshop Flowers and it is a kit that lets children create their own accessory designs. Included in the kit are 32 flowers in differing sizes, 5 wooden rods, 2 hair slides and 2 securing pins, 5 decorative caps for the tops and templates to create 2 cardboard storage boxes.

HABA Creative Workshop Flowers kit

I let my 12 year old daughter try this kit with me and we designed a number of wooden flowers using the pre-cut flowers and 2 hair slides.  The flowers were easy to slide onto the wooden rods and also onto the slides but smaller children may need a helping hand from a grown up.  The pieces are well designed and the choice of colours is very good.  The whole kit is of made of good quality materials.

I really liked the quality of materials and the fact that they could be taken apart again to create different designs providing endless creations.  My daughter liked colours and shapes of the petals and although she is perhaps older than the age group this is aimed at, she happily created a number of accessories.  Both my daughter and myself found the templates to make the cardboard storage boxes quite difficult to put together considering it was a simple box but we persevered and got there in the end!

The hair slides were easy to open and close and the flowers attached easily but stayed secured very well although they are a little big for everyday use in the hair.

I think that there is very little that could be improved about the product except perhaps the ability to add some leaves to the rods as well as the petals or perhaps brighter non pastel coloured flowers.  The product would provide any little girl (or boy!) with hours of entertainment making and remaking different flower designs and then being able to store them in their own little box. Great for stimulating creativity and design ideas in your little ones.

All the pieces were packaged in a pretty box that was very robust - a great gift idea!
