5 out of 5 stars great birthday gift!   May 30, 2008
These are great birthday gifts for little girls ages 6-8. They love making the jewelry and the colors of fun. Still have to be careful for baby brother not to choke on the beads, but the beads are a bit larger and more durable. Great price for a nice gift.


4 out of 5 stars Keeps 'em busy   December 17, 2007

Bought 2 of these kits to keep a very antsy 4 year old entertained at a grownups Thanksgiving table - and it did exactly that! She played with it for ages, making and remaking necklaces for the adults and herself with little need for our help (which meant we could enjoy a leisurely meal!). Colours and patterns of the beads were really cute as well, and the storage box kept things nice and tidy. Only slight disappointment was that several of the beads broke in half with normal usage - but this is truly a minor issue.

I gifted this set to my niece and she was overjoyed.
Not to mention she used her creativity to put together beautiful necklaces, although the first one she made, she gifted to her dad.
However I do caution that this set is not for children below 3 yrs, since there is a risk that they might pop the beads in their mouths.
I would recommend adult supervision.

I just sent this to a friend's almost-6-year-old as an early birthday present. I got immediate rave reviews from her mom, who said she had just enjoyed an hour of quiet while the 6 year old and her younger almost-3-year old sister made necklaces together without any fighting!


5 out of 5 stars Lovely Beads for a Child's Craft Kit   September 28, 2007
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

My 5 year old daughter has strung many a cheap plastic bead in her day but these cheerfully painted wood beads are much prettier and sophisticated than the usual tacky plastic ones. With this kit she made 3 long necklaces for herself with some of the product left over.

For young children this is a great craft to build fine motor skills. This also became an educational opportunity when I started teaching her the words "pattern," "symmetry" and "asymmetry."

One evening when helping my daughter choose which bead to use next we compared sides and made a symmetrical patterned necklace. Then on her own she said she was going to make an asymmetrical pattern. All the necklaces turned out beautifully.

The packaging of this bead set is very attractive and would make a great birthday or Christmas gift especially for a girl. The price nice too.
