Cute crafty gift for a little girl.

I purchased this for my 7 year old daughter who's more into art's and crafts kind of things then Barbies. She seemed happy to get it and had fun with it. The gift is pretty self explanatory so the only thing I would add is they the actual item is not as brightly colored as the manufactures stock picture shows.



It's not the bright "Lisa Frank" like colors it looks like in the main photo. The wooden box it's in it actually more of a light pink color then the hot pink color they show but the beads are a bit brighter. I added a personal photo to Amazon's customer images above to help give a better idea but even that picture seems a bit more colorful then the actual item in hand. These color variations are not a big deal but I just wanted to make a note of them so people would know.

A Must Have

I ordered this stamp set for my 3 year old. I was concerned when I was ordering it that it might not be up to the job of withstanding a 3 year old due to the low price. When we recieved it we tore it open to find the box was made of sturdy wood as well as all the stamps. And yes the ink really is washable! You just put the stamp under warm water and the ink just rinses away. It comes out of clothing walls and just about anywhere else toddlers may think to put it. And the rubber stampers that are attached to the wooden blocks are very clear when stamped. There are no broken lines or unwanted blotches. I recently went to a local craft store looking for more stamps and found the prices to be overly rediculous. This kit is definately worth more than I paid. My son asks to play "dino stamps" all the time and I don't mind pulling it out for him because it really is washable. The colored pencils are wonderful as the ink dries fairly quickly so you can use them to color in the stamped outline. I most definately recommend this to anyone!More detail ...

Okay!

I was very pleased with the food sets we purchased last year for Christmas. My daughter loves to play with them.



One note worth mentioning is that the "patty" started peeling paint. I know my daughter isn't chewing on it so I really don't know what caused this.



With all the lead-paint scares I promptly threw it away. This product is manufactured in China. I'm not saying that it may have lead paint or anything like that but it's better to be safe than sorry.



All in all they're very durable food items and fun. Just regularly check for chips in the paint to be safe.More detail ...

Love this!

My son recieved this toy for his 1st Birthday and he LOVES it! He walks all over the house pulling it along behind him. There's nothing cuter than saying "Walk your Froggy!" and seeing him run after it and walking his frog! This has proven to be his favorite birthday present and it's such a high quality toy I can definitely see passing it down to future siblings! =)

One thing to watch though the pull string is a bit too long he has already wrapped it all the way arond his neck twice! That can easily be fixed by trimming it down and knotting the end if needed. More detail ...

Great activity for quiet time

I bought this for my 18 month old because she is really into books puzzles and stacking blocks. She picked up the beading concept right away and was thrilled with this new toy. I think the bright colors and variety of shapes are interesting to little ones and it's a great activity for teaching hand/eye coordination. The beads can also be used for stacking. We do this activity before naptime or bedtime as a quiet transition. This will be a perfect toy to grow with her as she gets older and starts learning patterns and color families. Another great product from Melissa & Doug.More detail ...

My daugher LOVES ths sticker book

Got this for my daughers 5th birthday and she has played with it nonstop for over a month. (The one we got her only had 700 stickers.) Such a wide range of stickers and theme's it's giving her a chance to use her imagination. She even started making little notes for her classmates and including the stickers on the notes. Her classmates LOVE them. Now as a parent you do have to pick up your fair share of stickers all around the home. But it has been a great project for her to play with on her own. They even have doll stickers you can dress up with clothes. If your kids love stickers I would highly recommend this. They will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. More detail ...

Great alternative to usual craft activities

We gave this to our 5 year old for Christmas and she still uses it. The box keeps all the stamps and stamp pad together and makes cleanup a breeze. This turned out to be a nice change from her usual crayons and not as messy as paints. It has enough stamps for her to create many pictures and stories and really keeps her interest for about 45 minutes at a time (which as any mom knows is fantastic). Overall a fantastic value for the price.More detail ...
