So she relished the opportunity to do something a bit different by making the Disney Frozen II Crystal Terrarium. “This is a great project for youngsters because it gives them the chance to grow their very own crystal - and learn a bit of chemistry at the same time. The instructions are easy to follow; Isabelle thoroughly enjoyed dissolving the white crystal compound and stirring in the blue colourant, or ‘mixing the ingredients’ as she called it. “She checked regularly to see how her crystal was progressing and was delighted with the end result, which is now displayed on her bedroom windowsill, so the crystal catches the light and sparkles in the sun. “Isabelle is incredibly proud of her efforts, and thinks the Terrarium is very pretty - it reminds her of Elsa’s Ice Palace from the Frozen II movie. The whole creative process gave her a great sense of achievement, so I fully recommend this product.”

Mum Amber says: “Frozen II is a firm favourite with my daughters True (aged seven) and Tamba (aged six). They have watched the film countless times and know all the songs by heart. So they jumped at the chance to design their very own Disney Frozen II Wooden Mirror Chest. “This craft project proved a great success. It kept them busy and quiet for a whole afternoon, which gave me time to catch up on some housework uninterrupted! They spent ages painting the chest and decorating it with the supplied transfers. “For Tamba, the biggest thrill was the novelty of being allowed to ‘paint furniture with rainbow colours like mummy does’ (I’m a keen upcycler in my spare time) rather than limit her artistic energies to daubing on paper. And True is excited by the fact that she now has her own ‘mini dressing table’. She stores her cosmetics in the drawer - two tiny tubes of lip gloss and a couple of little bottles of nail varnish - and uses the mirror to apply her makeup. She feels very grown-up! “This activity is fun and easy to do. It’s ideal for young Frozen fans and I like the fact that it encourages them to express their creativity and imagination.”
