Purple Crystal Orchid Mini Crystal Building Block Flower Kit by Wizardi F07M9-10(103)-I2

Build a purple crystal orchid, a mini crystal building block flower kit by Wizardi: two orchids with translucent violet wing-shaped petals and golden hearts touched with red open on upright stems, slim green leaves curl around them, and tiny mushrooms sit in the white planter.

A little builder's folklore: purple orchids are given as a sign of admiration, and builders like to give this one to someone they look up to.

Why this kit: if you want a small, elegant gift, the jewel-like purple petals look far more expensive than the little price.

In the box: ABS building bricks including translucent crystal-effect petals, bricks for the stems, leaves, tiny mushrooms and the white planter, and an illustrated step-by-step instruction booklet. Not included: glue or tools, because none are needed.

How to build and display: press the bricks together by hand following the numbered steps, starting with the planter and its little garden of mushrooms and pebbles, then the stem, leaves and the clear petals. Put it on a sunny windowsill and the crystal petals catch the light; it never needs watering.

Size: boxed in 14 x 4.2 x 19.5 cm (5.5 x 1.7 x 7.7 in), the finished flower fits in a palm-sized planter. A pretty little desk gift, a party favour or a stocking stuffer, and a relaxing evening build for adults and teens. Recommended for ages 14 and up; small parts, keep away from young children.
