Waste of money
A nice idea but clear from the directions that the makers knew this kit cannot be executed fully. The clay doesn’t dry, so there’s no way it can float around in a water globe. My kids were frustrated with this impossible craft.

Expensive trash
Literally the worst thing I've ever bought. Followed directions, but if you know science at all, you know that filling a closed jar with no airflow means the water won't flow in. So we had to get a seringe just to force water inside. Immediately the water got murky, and it looks like trash. Not worth even $5, but I paid $20. I want my money back and my time back. Disappointed daughter and frustrated Mom.

We're sorry to hear of the frustrating experience. You can find video instructions tips for filling your globes successfully here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B30On5vLqqM&feature=youtu.be. Generally murkiness indicates too much glitter or soap was used. We're not able to assist with a refund, but please contact us at consumer@fabercastell.com so we can assist you with a direct replacement to try again.

The tops on the globes didn’t fit properly and they leak.
1 reply from Faber Castell team team - 29 days ago
We're sorry to hear of your difficulty - based on your description of the issue, it sounds like the clay may have been assembled on the wrong side of the base. The globes will not fit unless the shallow side without the removable stopper faces upward; that is the side that the clay should be built upon. This detail is listed on the front page of the instructions: Place the base on your workstation with the shallow side facing up. This Is the side you will decorate. Do not decorate the side with the removable stopper. Luckily, you can correct the issue by removing and replacing the clay onto the correct side.

Faulty design
It was enough clay for all 3 globes but it would not seal at all! The plastic clear top was too big for the bottoms. It was dissapointing.
1 reply from Faber Castell team team - 9 months ago
We're sorry to hear you had an issue - we've child tested the quantity of clay to complete all 3 globes. As for assembly, it sounds like you may have assembled the clay on the wrong side of the base. The globes will only fit properly if the shallow side of the base without the removable stopper is facing upward. This is the side on which the clay should be built. This detail can be found in your instructions: "Place the base on your work station with the shallow side facing up. This is the side you will decorate. Do not decorate the side with the removable stopper." Luckily you can remove and assemble on the correct side to complete.

Very fun and creative
Me and my 4 almost 5 year old had so much fun doing this. They turned out so cute. I didn’t have any trouble sealing them, but just did this the other day so not sure how they last overtime. For us this was a great screen time- free evening activity that we really enjoyed so worth the price alone on that basis. Had justtt enough clay would have liked a little more did not have enough to make the taffy rainbow, hence the 4 stars.

Cute but defective
I was having fun making these with my girls and they are really cute! Except for the end when the top of the snowglobe literally WILL NOT seal. So frustrating!

Very hard to glue and seal perfectly. Start to leak overtime.
1 reply from Faber Castell team team - 1 year ago
We are sorry to hear you experienced difficulty with sealing your project. We indicate to make sure the clay is pushed all the way to the edges to get a perfect seal once the glue is applied. We do provide drip trays for any small leaks and indicate that they also look great without water added if you choose!

Terrible instructions 😭
It was terrible. I couldn't make it because I didn't know how the instructions were terrible. Also the clay took forever to dry. This toy is a stupid stinker.
1 reply from Faber Castell team team - 1 year ago
We're sorry to hear of the difficulty - this kit features non-drying clay. Our instructions have been updated, removing the need for craft glue and any drying time. The original instructions indicate to "let it dry," this is referring to the glue, not the clay. There is no longer a need to use glue to secure the figurines or wait for them to dry.

Not enough Clay
I bought my 7 year birthday. They give you 5 clay sticks for 3 snow globes and you have to put it the bottom not enough to create the activity. Don't buy!

We're sorry to hear you experienced difficulties. We've tested the kit with children to ensure there is more than enough clay to complete the project. Only a small amount is needed to place on the base.

Crappy present
I gave my 10 yr old granddaughter this for her birthday. Big disappointment. Instructions weren’t clear and it was almost impossible to put together without globe breaking. A waste of time and money.

Bad design
They are very difficult to fill. Thus not water globes. My granddaughter was very disappointed

We're sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties filling your water globes. It is necessary to gently lift the funnel so that some air is introduced, otherwise the water will not empty the funnel. You can find a helpful video on doing so here: https://youtu.be/B30On5vLqqM

Pleased but not super easy
These globes looked nice when they were done, but there were some complicated steps involved in making them. Younger users may find it difficult to do them on their own. Also, the globes took awhile to dry and finish, making it hard to complete during a play date. But, the process was fun and rewarding overall.
