4 out of 5 stars Nice kit for a girl's sleepover   June 29, 2008
A. Underwood (US)
I bought these for my daughter for her birthday sleepover so the girls would have something that they could make for each other and then take home. The kids loved putting their own creations together. They are somewhat simple to put together for little hands.


2 out of 5 stars Not great   December 5, 2006

I bought this for my 11-yr-old niece and she quickly discovered the holes in the beads were so small the thread wouldn't fit through several of them. So now I'm off to Michael's in search of some finer thread. Grrr!
