Purple Crystal Tulip Mini Crystal Building Block Flower Kit by Wizardi F07M9-10(103)-I5

Build a purple crystal tulip, a mini crystal building block flower kit by Wizardi: a tall closed tulip cup in translucent deep purple with golden stamens peeking from the top stands beside a smaller bud, long green leaves rise around them, and tiny mushrooms sit in the white planter.

A little builder's folklore: purple tulips were once a symbol of royalty, and gardeners say they are the tulip to plant for someone who deserves the best.

Why this kit: if tulips are your favourite, this regal purple pair is a quick and elegant build for a desk or bedside table.

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.
