Why it works
Making a bowl on a wheel is one of the few crafts that impress a 10-year-old. Buki includes a mould that measures out the clay and centres it, which is exactly where toy wheels fail. The piece then dries on the tray and gets painted.
Our verdict
A Reyes (Three Kings) gift for crafty children aged 8 to 12 with an adult willing to help. If there is no tolerance for clay at home, the pen workshop is the better choice.
They will like it if
- they ask for grown-up crafts
- they do not mind getting messy
- they have the patience to repeat it until it works
Bear in mind
- it is messy: it needs a protected table and an adult nearby at first
- it plugs into the mains, it does not run on batteries
- the first pieces come out lopsided
What's in the box
- 2 kg of clay
- Wooden and metal tools
- Paints, 2 brushes, stamps and glitter
- Runs plugged into the mains
- Tray for drying the pieces
