Creative Collage Kits Review and Giveaway with Orb Factory

Esther and William love to get their craft on

They love making things

In all we do they make a mess

A marvellous sensory mess

But often times they are also now able to make an effective end product

I am good at ideas for messy and sensory play

But art and craft ideas, successful ones, mostly come from Daddy

And so I was very excited when we were asked by Bump PR and Asobi Toys

To review a collage kit from Orb Factory

focused william

This is a brand that we are familiar with

As we have used their sticky mosaics in the past

And we actually reviewed them here on the blog

My First Creative Collages are the next step on from My First Sticky Mosaics

We were sent a princess and a dinosaur set

Esther and William were thrilled and keen to get going as soon as they saw them

Each set includes three pictures to make into framed collages

The pictures have sticky back sections where you add the colour coded collage materials provided

Green glitter, purple pom poms, pink foam, silver shimmer

The pictures are easy to follow and it is easy to get a great result

I was really pleased with how quickly and independently Esther and William understood what they need to do

I was also proud of how focused they were on a project that required them to be delicate and careful

concentrated creating

Each completed set gives three pictures with hangers to hang them on the wall

A lovely way for a little one to create a gift or decorate their own space in the home

It is also a lovely activity that lets a child be creative in a controlled way

A structured way

Until they are ready to create collages of their own

The colour coding and the different textures of materials

Makes this a lovely sensory activity

A great way to develop children’s understanding of following a code

It enables you to explore pattern and composition

And discuss reasons for using different materials for different parts of the pictures

Esther and William needed a lot of support and encouragement with their first pictures

By the end of their third, Esther in particular, was adding little touches of her own

She added pink blossom and red apples to the green trees

As she began to understand the aim of making a collage

And the way that the different materials could be combined together

For different effects

delicate intricate detail

This was a lovely calm activity that we did after breakfast

We stayed at the table after we had eaten

Often in our pyjamas

And we got crafty

I think this is something that we are now going to introduce regularly to our routine

An early morning, after breakfast, craft or guided activity before we get down to the business of play

By supplying everything that you need in the box

That makes these kits perfect for taking out and about

  1. My son adores painting, he will paint anything and everything and gets so much enjoyment from it 🙂 x

  2. I like this idea, it would make a great thing to have in the cupboard for when children come to visit ( I am kind of sad like that!), what age would you say it would go up to for how I would like to use it? I get children (boys and girls) currently up to 7 which I guess may be too old – but then again, they like playing with the Duplo still – I don’t know.

  3. We love going to the woods and finding pine cones, leaves and sticks to make crafts with at home, we paint and glitter the pine cones and have made some hedgehogs with some. With leavs they’re great for making fish with or doing rubbings and sticks can be used for all manner of things like making stick insects! 🙂

    • There are other sets to choose from, we chose princesses and dinosaurs as that is what Esther and William like at the moment x They both love both, Esther is just as happy with dinosaurs as William is with princesses x

  4. These kits look great fun, but as previously mentioned it is disappointing that they are so gender orientated. A more gender neutral kit of eg animals would be much more appealing to me than princesses or dinosaurs.

    • These were just the two that we chose, Esther and William each chose the one that they liked the most. There are also birds and monsters and butterflies, sea creatures and more x

  5. My Daughter has always liked painting, using coloured crayons or pencils and playing with playdoh or equivalent
