Five Little Forest Animals, RM39.90
At first sight, this set from Djeco is indeed beautiful but lacklustre: kids only need to punch out the design and glue it together? That’s it? The recommended age range is seven to 13 but we think this is one for younger kids to put together with their parents. Your choice of glue is critical. Our attempts to put together our owl with a regular glue stick came unstuck several times. Either help the kids to use fast drying superglue or employ paperclips judiciously until your regular glue dries. The result is a colourful and delightfully twee owl that will withstand (very gentle) play or work as an alternative to the traditional tree topper. Leah O’Hearn
