When I was introduced to The Orb Factory and their line of Products for Children, I was instantly intrigued.
What caught my attention were these exact words: We believe in the power of play. We strive to produce toys that not only stimulate a child’s mind, but their creativity as well. Our kits allow children to lose themselves in a world of magic, imagination and artistic freedom.
They are a Canadian company (another big plus for me) located in Halifax, Nova Scotia with over 20 years in business, sold in over 50 countries with numerous awards and have become a recognized and trusted name in the toy industry.
After receiving a couple of products to try out with my daughter, I can honestly say they deserve all these awards and then some -- so much fun and easy to create according to the child's age and of good quality.
We received The Butterfly Tiara Singles from their Sticky Mosaics® Line and Mr. Monster from their Plush Craft Line.

First off, the website was very well laid out featuring the different Product lines and their own separate locations so that you can focus on the products for that specific line.
They also help make it easier to find a fitting product according to your child's gender and age.
We tried the Butterfly Tiara first.
This is part of their Singles line as it only comes with one single item and it's only $4.99! Great price for what you can do with it. It was quick and easy to make with over 250 sticky mosaic pieces of different pretty colours and styles - perfectly suitable for a princess.
My daughter loves her new tiara. And what made her love it even more was that she helped make it!
The next item we received that I absolutely love, love, loved (yes, that's love x3!) was the ever so adorable Mr. Monster.
I still think he's in fact a she, or just a very pretty Mr. but aside from the speculation, we had so much creating the cute monster.

The best part about these products is that the kits are easy to use, mess-free (BONUS!) and they turn out looking amazing!
Taking everything out of the packaging, it was well prepped and organized to make it simple and easy to get started.
What's included:
- 1 stylus
- 260 fabric pieces
- Interchangeable eyes and mouth
- Fully posable and interchangable limbs
Let's get DIY-ing! I allowed my daughter to start. Using the stylus provided (all their products are safe for use - nothing sharp or pointy), she started punching the lovely fabric into the numbers.
I have to admit that I took over with the punching about a quarter into it because my inner DIY-er had to get in on the action. It was just so pretty! My daughter didn't mind at all as I had her organizing the fabric pieces by colour while mommy went punch-crazy.
Then what's left to do is add the eyes, mouth and stick the limbs on and Voila! MISS Monster.
How cute is she/he?
There was no mess after this was done and it teaches number and pattern recognition. A mother's dream!
Most importantly, my daughter had a lot of fun creating a new little plushy pal that she can keep forever. Miss Monster now has a special little spot on her bed (that's kind of a big deal).
The Plushy Pals Mr. Monster sells for $19.99 and can be purchased online at: www.plush-craft.com or you can contact them here to be directed to a retailer near you that carries these products.
