Some of the instructions are hard to follow for my 11 year old. The designs are super cute. Really fun activity!

Gifted this to niece for Christmas, she loves to craft. She was very excited to receive. Quality looks to be good for the price and amount of product received.

My 7 year old daughter and I had fun making these on a snowy day home from school. I used to make them when I was younger without the kit and instructions. These turned out better. She loves them & clipped them to her bookbag to share with friends. Only recommendation would be to add more instructions on how to properly tie ends of string to keep it secure.

If I'm having a bad day and want to distract myself, but don't have much patience for anything, I can sit down with this kit and make one or two keychains. It is printed out on a piece of paper showing you in what direction to put each string. So it's easy and I feel accomplished and I'm middle aged.

I love that this kept grandkids busy for quite a while. They played with it off and on for several hours. Best of all, not messy.

I was generally a little concerned when they pulled out the initial patterns. It looks so hard and so much more confusing than it actually was. The colors of the beads are very vibrant and there are enough supplies to make all the animals in the kit. My nine year old and I had so much fun with this! The beads are very durable and the animals. It makes are so cute! It is very easy to use and fun even for a very small children. This was very age appropriate.

Loved the fact that this product was able to bring me back to my childhood! However things were better in the 90’s! The instructions in this kit were hard for an adult to figure out. I am worried that the kids I got this for during my daughter’s baby shower in the next 2 weeks won’t be able to figure out the patterns without the help of their parents. I had to look up YOUTUBE videos to be able to get the lizard done. The video shows it made slightly different than this kit shows you. The instructions were not clear at all on how the make the legs or ears of certain animals. Secondly I am a very organized person and if you are OCD about organizing your crafts this is not the kit for you! So many beads and nowhere to store them but plastic bags. The two boxes they give you for storage is only enough room for you to work on your projects with. So now I have multiple color beads in the same squares and have to dig for the color I need. Where other colors are stored in a separate plastic bag. My kit back in the 90’s had a blue suite case that came with that kit and was able to keep everything nice and organized. I am also not a big fan of the metallic pink and metallic purple colors. If you don’t have the greatest lighting they almost look like they are the same color. Had to bring them into the dinningroom table with natural sunlight to realize they weren’t the same color. I also found multiple broken beads in my kit between last night and this morning. On the other hand the amount of items in this kit and how many pets you can make is definitely worth the cash if anything I mentioned about doesn’t bother you.

I think the directions are complicated for a child.I am a taecher, and known none of my 5 to 8 year olds could make these by the directions given.I have made geekcos before and written directions are easier to follow.I bought this kit to teach my students and make gifts for my family.I will have to write directions for my students, and sit with my kids.

Es muy buena actividad para ahora en la cuarentena. Sin embargo las instrucciones no te dicen como hacer los nudos, terminar las figuras o empezarlas. Nos costó algo de trabajo entender lo que había que hacer. Las instrucciones vienen solamente en inglés. De allí en fuera, está bien porque es el kit completo. Los abalorios vienen contados para las figuras.

This was a great craft to keep the kids entertained during Covid when we weren’t able to go out and do things. I only wish that they sent better string because it’s impossible to tie knots and to keep the beads in place. It would also be nice if they sent more variety of colours more beads that kind of thing it seems pretty expensive for a small amount of things. It would be nice if they were ad on things to add to it.
