Cheap Ancient Sailboat 3D Woodcraft Construction Kit Review
Craft supplies, doll furniture, chipboard shapes and kids play sets.
I bought this item as a Xmas gift for my 1/2 year old. She loved it. The first thing she wanted to do was make a necklace for one of her classmates. We found the beads to be large enough to easily thread. I was a little dissappointed with the thread. It looks like a very long shoelace which means you have to put many, many, many, many beads on it to make it look full and nice. Also, there are "anglets" at the end of the string which makes it difficult to knot. The string looks like a 4" or 6" shoelace. We could have knotted it better without the anglets. I think it is meant to be tied somehow.
The box is very attractive but it does not come with a lid. Do not open if you do not have a large ziplock bag to put in. Or at least another box to put the beans into.
I like making craft items and found this product very easy to use.
My five-year-old was fortunate enough to receive Lauri's Crawling Critter Lacing Kit for his last birthday. After using the kit with him, I can understand why Oppenheim's Toy Portfolio gave it a Best Toy Award. Encouraging the development of fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, creativity, and make-believe play, this toy comes complete with 3 precut felt insect bodies; yarn for lacing; safe, easy to thread, plastic, ball-tipped needles; and remnant felt for decorating. Crawling Critter is perfect for the busy parent who wants to nourish her child's artistic talents, but lacks the time and energy to gather and purchase the necessary materials. Just add scissors, crafting glue, and your child's imagination to make adorable, reusable puppets! With very little mess and supervision, my son made two of the puppets on our extended road trip vacation. He spent many content hours quietly lacing and decorating his creations in the car on his lapboard. Along with the provided felt scraps, we used glitter glue, lace, buttons, and bows to embellish the puppets. The results were so great, we had several tourists ask us where we bought such "unique puppets!" Unlike some art projects that are made, then quickly forgotten, stashed in a drawer somewhere, these lacing puppets will be played with long after they are created. If you have a child, like mine, who loves insects or children who are "bugging" you for something to do on a rainy day, this craft project is for you!
I bought this for my niece for Christmas and it was an immediate hit. I like the simple but useful packaging and the terrific price. My niece wasn't supposed to open the packaging on gifts until she got back home (to avoid messes at Grandma's house), but we found her hiding behind the tree coloring with her new stamp set! She's very happy with it, and the box it came with means she hasn't lost all of the pieces.
