CraftoramaSewing Kit for Kids, Fun and Educational Pets Craft Set for Boys and Girls Age 7-12, Sew Your Own Felt Animals Craft Kit for Beginners, 165 Piece Set

I bought this kit for a craft project to do with my grandchildren. Those participating were ages 6-11 years old, 4 girls and 1 boy. My goal was to entertain while also teaching them a basic sewing stitch. It did require my help to get started and guidance to complete, but not more than I expected. We ALL enjoyed this craft and they have asked to make more.The kit came with everything needed to complete the project. The instruction booklet is easy to understand.Because I was working with several children, I copied and printed the instructions for each character.My photo shows two completed by a 6 year old.When you consider that you get eight characters to make, this is a good value. We will be buying another set!

My daughter has a pack of these, and we purchased one as a birthday gift for her friend. My daughter started with these kits when she was 5 and just needed a small amount of help along the way. The holes line up well and everything works perfect. It gives her a mostly independent creative outlet and works her fine motor skills at the same time. We love these sewing kits!

I bought this kit so my granddaughter and I could stitch together. The box holds all the contents well. Each animal is packaged in its own cellophane bag, so you don't have to search through pieces to get what you need. There are plenty of needles. The thread looks just like DMC, but it's not. There are numbers on the paper tubes that keep the thread neat, but I don't know if they would match DMC. The directions are outstanding. The only thing I could not find was how many threads to use. However, the holes are pretty large so just cutting pieces off the skein works. All-in-all it's a really nice kit and great for someone who wants to build muscle memory of simple stitches. Running stitches are hard to keep the same size, so the holes in the firm felt pieces help to get the "feel" for them--and them being done evenly. I'm super happy with my purchase!

It was perfect for my 6 year old. I was worried it would be too difficult and she would need assistance, but it came with very well explained directions. Lots of picture tutorials, perfect for a young child. Comes with all the material you will need and it’s great for ages 6-12.

My nine-year-old granddaughter absolutely loved this sewing kit. She sewed all but one in one day she’s nine years old ;; the only thing I had to help her with-was tying the knots and she could do the rest of it. I would highly recommend as I have already ordered her another kit.
