Cute and easy for beginners
The needle felt starter kit exceeded my expectations in introducing me to the world of needle felting. The kit comes with everything needed to get started – a variety of colorful wool, felting needles, and a foam pad, and finger covers, and eyes. The quality of the materials is excellent, and the wool is easy to work with.

Great starter kit for needle felting!
Comes as pictured... has all the things you need to get started with needle felting. I have wanted to learn to needle felt for some time now, and was happy to find this starter kit online. I have made all but the green dragon so far. The written instructions are in pretty broken English and I could not fi d the videos, their links go to the company's website which is also not in English. The pictures are easy to follow And a few beginning videos online were enough to feel confident getting started. I like that there are a variety of techniques presented to learn how to add limbs, surface features etc. There was plenty of wool for each project, so much so that I probably could have made mine bigger (my finished pieces have all been about 1.25in in diameter)I purchased this kit to dabble and see if I liked needle felting and I do, and it gave me a good idea of what supplies I would need. I have sense purchased other supplies, but this was a great starting spot that was inexpensive enough to feel comfortable trying it out.

Decent kit, poor instructions
This kit seems fine for a beginner. The materials work and don't seem to be particularly poor quality (other than the foam pad, which the kit does make a point to inform you is not just part of the packing though it may appear to be) considering the price. The finger protectors are very tight if you have chunky sausage fingers as I do and at the same time rather bulky. However, I have gotten a few good sticks from the needles so far, so it's probably worth using them if you can manage. The included glue stick is for a hot glue gun, so be aware that if you want to use it, you'll need one. (Personally, I haven't found the glue terribly necessary and so far more mess/trouble than its worth).As for the needles, you're provided a variety of sizes, but they are in no way labeled. I'm not sure if this is standard. From what I can tell as an absolute beginner, this isn't a huge deal and I'm able to eyeball the sizes well enough to figure which will be appropriate after a little trial and error. You are also provided with an awl for inserting the included eyes and phone charm hardware. Don't be a dumb dumb like me and mistake the awl for a felting needle then proceed to waste 5+ minutes wondering why nothing is happening.The wool provided in the kit is plenty enough to complete the projects without worry...especially if you're like me and misunderstand the project size on your first attempt and make the world's tiniest green monster! I have fully enough to make a second, properly-sized version.The only problem I have with this kit is the instructions. They're clearly an at-home print job, which in and of itself isn't a problem, though the image quality is mediocre at best. The issue is that the written instructions are in google translate-level English. This is good for a laugh but not great for a beginner trying to learn. Helpfully, each instruction sheet includes a QR Code!...to a youtube channel that does not have the included projects and is fully in Chinese. Well, can't win 'em all.Despite the poor instructions, this craft is very beginner-friendly and you can find a lot of great online beginner tutorials in your desired language. Honestly, you can probably work it out from the slightly shoddy pictures and broken English provided well enough that those aren't even necessary. I would definitely recommend this kit for a reasonably resourceful beginner! I'm very pleased with my projects so far and am having a lot of fun learning the hobby.

Great for beginners and super fun!
This is my first time attempting to felt. I watched some basics videos as suggested by the other reviews. This kit gives you everything you need for felting. When you're done creating these 4 cute cactuses, all you need is more wool for more cute creations! The instructions videos don't have any verbal instructions. The videos show you how to do it. It was enough for me. It takes some practice and lots of patience. The first one I made is the one with three cactuses. It definitely helped make my second one better. Don't be stingy with the wool like I was with the first one haha. Super satisfying hobby! :)

needle felting... not for everyone
Relatively easy to make and cute but dear lord is stabbing wool a million times not appealing to me. I made all four animals because I'm a completionist virgo and my only advice is to roll the initial body rounder (more like a circle than an oval) than you think. I think rounder is cuter. For some I made mine too long and ran out of wool to round it out. They looked weird. Better to go rounder imo.Anyway. This hobby is not for me. But 5 stars because this kit is completely self contained and great for someone who just wanted to try (like me).

Thorough and easy
Cheap craft kits are a crap shoot and you often end up with missing supplies or very vague instructions. What a surprise that this kit came with everything plus a few totally unnecessary random tools, AND the instructions were complete with pictures and videos. My kids (10 and 12) spent a rainy day on this (though I did go buy a second needle and foam so they both could work). They turned out super cute!

No instructions
I got this as a kit to hopefully make more items however it didn't come with any so you have all the tools and a bunch of wool but still nothing to make. Other downside is it doesn't really fit everything it came with when you start working with items.
