My 3 year old loved this kit! She needed a little help lining up the pieces of fabric and keeping the protective mat under the dress but she figured it out quickly. I like how the fabric pieces were a little see through so you could see the holes underneath (although it’s harder to see under the darker colors). The princesses are made of a thin piece of foam which I think should’ve been a little thicker but maybe it’s better that it’s thinner for smaller hands. The instructions were clear and then size was perfect. I loved all the color options and that they were a little grippy. I wouldn’t say it’s exactly mess free, considering my daughter kept calling the fabric pieces confetti and throwing it everywhere HAH. But I will say I’ll take that any day over messy glue. Anyway, good quality craft kit, well thought out and toddler approved! Highly recommend!

These are perfect for kids who love to focus and stay busy. It’s a bit tricky to push the paper through the holes, but any kid over 3.5 should be able to do it. My daughter absolutely loved the colors. It’s a bit of a hassle to pick up the supplies for cleanup because there are so many pieces. But overall, it’s a great value for the price and a lot of fun for kids!

These are easy crafts yet beautiful to make. They encourage fine motor skill development and take just the right length of time for 4-8 year olds to focus. I bought one set and was really pleased with the outcome so just recently bought another for use at my house, and I gifted one to a friend who was having a 5 year old visitor.

I got this kit for my 4-year-old granddaughter, and she loves it. However, she doesn't have the patience to fill the shapes with the fabric squares like it shows on the front of the box - she just spaces some out all over the flower shapes and calls it good. She wanted me to do it with her, but about half-way through, the plastic poker that I was using snapped into half a dozen pieces. I wasn't pressing any harder than it took to push it into the foam, so it doesn't seem very sturdy. Also, the non-pointed end is shaped like a wood chisel - the edge is not comfortable to press down with the palm. If I order another kit, I'm going to order some thick pencil eraser toppers to put on the end, to make it more comfortable.

This item was bought as a gift for my 5 year old granddaughter. She enjoyed the activity. Her mother liked the ability to remove the pieces and start over. The only reported problem was that the stand for the princesses did work well.

It looks like my granddaughters will get a lot of fun making the craft.

My granddaughters loved it. The actual item is true to its description.

Very fun no mess activity for kids. Easy and kit contains everything you need and presented in a very organized manner. My four year old granddaughter loved it. I was hooked on it too.
