Use hotglue to help stabilize . We were glad to read other reviews to know we weren't the only ones who found this product to be very tipsy. Before pouring the liquid into the tray we hot glued all paper parts to the tray with small dots of hot glue. It worked really well to keep the pieces of paper from tipping and the liquid was still able to be absorbed by the paper.

MAGIC GARDEN from Schylling Toys Reviews
Poorly designed - stick with ToySmith . We had a lot of lucky with the Christmas tree from ToySmith and my daughter enjoyed it, so while doing some last minute Christmas shopping I picked this up. It was VERY difficult to get any of the pieces to stay in place, and I LOVE to put things together. Even my husband had problems getting anything to stay in place. We finally resorted to using scissors to get things to be the correct size. The tray is SUPER flimsy (not at all like the hard plastic from the ToySmith Christmas tree), the grass strips are way to long, the base of the trees is too wide to fit in the circle, the slots in the two tree pieces are cut wide so they collapse and do not stay together, the mountain does not fit the couture of the hole provided no matter how you fold it, troughs for the liquid are too shallow, and the whole tray bows so even on our flat countertop the pieces fall over. We put it together (after about 30 minute of trimming and manipulating) on the counter before bed, poured the liquid in the best we could, and went to bed, when I woke up both of the trees had fallen over. ARGG! The flip side is that it did grow, but the snow is not on the top of the mountain (only the lower 2/3), which does not make sense and the middle part of the garden did not grow at all even though I made sure all the piece had adequate liquid. I think I will stick with the ToySmith version. The tray is hard plastic, and the is a perfect x cut in it to put the tree in so it stay. That product can be easily moved - not true of this one. It is headed for the trash. :(

MAGIC GARDEN from Schylling Toys Opinions
Awesome Classic! . I've been getting these since I was a little kid and they are amazing!! So beautiful, so cool to watch, a great gift. Of course it's fragile, it's a one shot deal, not meant to last. You do it, enjoy it a day or two, and pitch it. Maybe get another one in a couple years as a kick. My mom had them when she was little too. They're just plain fun. I would highly recommend them.

flimsy . It's neat and pretty, but a constant source of frusteration because the card board trees and other card board land scape figures keep falling over. Once they fall over, the whole thing is ruined. Maybe if somebody glued them up it would work. My daughter loved it while it lasted. (Less then a week.)
Great fun! . My daughter got this as an early Christmas Present and it looked cheap to me and I told her not to get her hopes up. I was wrong.. within 2 hours the first blossoms arrived and then by the next morning we were soooo excited to see what had grown. How fun is this!! I have been taking pictures just to show it's progress.
Wonderful item for my 7 year old as well as the entire family.

Beautiful (when glued) . Use a low temperature hot glue to secure the paper pieces to the base. The low temperature hot glue will insure the plastic tray does not melt. We cut the pieces to fit exactly and glued the tree bases together before securing them to the plastic tray. This was a project for my 6 year old while studying Japan. She LOVED it!! I had not seen her that excited about any other craft activity. The crystals formed just like the photo on the box. The trees are incredible! It has been on display for one month and looks good still.
Cons Review
Tears follow excitement . This garden becomes beautiful overnight. However, the first time someone walks past the table where it is placed, it falls apart! We thought someone had accidentaly crashed into my daughter's first magic garden so we bought her a replacement - same story. This item is so fragile it is bound to dissappoint.
worth it . My 4-year-old daughter got this for a gift. This takes steady hands. The box says 8 and up, and that's true, little ones will need an adult or older child - the paper trees and mountain don't fit very well in the plastic tray and it was frustrating getting them to stand up. In the end half the mountain wasn't in the tray. After the assembly I was ready for the whole thing to be a wash, but we were all surprised when it grew! Totally worth the effort. My expectations were to keep it a couple of days and toss it out, so the fragileness of the finished product doesn't bother me.
It is magical but fragile . I bought this for myself to put in my office and it was great! It's very easy to put together, but as mentioned, it's fragile and can easily fall over. Because mine is in an office, no one bothered it and it lasted for months. Everyone kept coming by to see if it had grown more. I wouldn't recommend it for children because it takes steady hands to make the trees stand up.
Magic in a box! . We loved it! My daughter received it for Christmas 2010 and all of the family was enthralled. The structures can fall over if knocked so I believe the instructions tell you to place the garden somewhere stable and secure. If you do that, then grow the garden, you won't be disappointed. It was really fun and beautiful. Even when one of the trees fell over, (we decided to move it away from the 2 rambunctious cats) it still kept a lot of its 'foliage'. I plan on getting it for other children on my holiday gift list this year.
