Great creative fun.

We gave this to my daughter for her 4th birthday. She (and her older sisters) had a great time with it. The box it comes in is great for storage, but it is a little large. We ended up putting the pieces that are left in a small shoe box and she still gets it out from time to time and makes all kinds of creative things and often gives them away as "gifts".
One of the things I really like is the sticky dots so you don't have to use glue. My daughter can use them all by herself. |
Not what I was expecting

I'm not a very crafty person, and I'm trying to do more with my 3 year old son since I just had a baby and want to spend quality time with him. I had purchased some pre-made craft packages, and thought I'd try this out.
I was rather disappointed. My son had fun playing with some of the items, and we used them to make a few crafts, but I was expecting more ideas for what to do with the pieces. The description says there are lots of project ideas, but all I saw was a few pictures on the box giving you a few basics. I guess I was hoping for a guide or booklet with directions to make specific crafts.
I was also disappointed with some of the materials. I don't like the chenille yarn...it sheds, and I had little pieces of colored yarn all over my house (and the dogs). I would have rather seen some nice pieces of thick wool yarn, which is something I tend to use in our crafts. I also don't like the craft sticks (tongue depressors). Instead of being wood, they are flimsy foam. I find that wood ones work much better for most crafts.
The description also says that when you are finished, you can tuck everything away back in it's box. The box is flimsy plastic with a plastic lid, so it's not the easiest thing to use as a container, especially with a 3 year old boy. To be fair, according to the package the age for this is supposed to be 4+ (Amazon's description says 36 months to 6 years).
Personally, I'd rather go out and purchase some wooden craft sticks, some googly eyes, some thick wool yarn and some colorful pipe cleaners. I ended up buying some craft books, which were much more useful than this box of crafts (and gave me some ideas of what I can do with the contents of this box). I really like Easy-To-Do Holiday Crafts From Everyday Household Items!: Including Crafts for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, and Every Day of the Year! |
Incorrect age recommendation

| I purchased the Big Fun Crafts box for a third birthday present, based on a great price, positive reviews and, importantly, the recommended 36 months to 6 years age range. When I received the box, it clearly shows 4+ on the front of the box. The photo on Amazon is too small to see details on the box. I would not wish for my children to receive gifts clearly marked outside their age range, and accordingly I will be giving this gift as intended. The product does look nice, but the age recommendation needs to be fixed. |
