4 out of 5 stars Good for older kids   November 27, 2008
A. Arnal (Vista CA)
I bought this for my 3 yr old niece who loves to put together things like this but she would have had more fun if it was just shapes I think. The product overall is great and it is educational if you want to teach your child how to spell their name or mommy. Thats what we did.


3 out of 5 stars Stores conveniently? I disagree.   November 15, 2008

The description states "stores conveniently". In my opinion, it is not convenient to have hundreds of beads in a shallow box with no lid. I really like Melissa and Doug toys, but lately I've been buying a lot of little storage containers for my various Melissa and Doug toys. It's getting expensive and time consuming. I just wish these things would come with a sliding piece of plastic or a cardboard box. Something to contain the contents.


5 out of 5 stars TONS of FUN   October 17, 2008

We recently gave this set to a family friend on her sixth birthday - they have raved about what fun it is! Both the little girls and her three year old brother have played with the beads and had a great time - it kept them occupied for a LONG time, too! Mom says it's great for dexterity and for learning shapes, colors, and letters.


5 out of 5 stars Great fun for little kids, big kids like to play with them too   June 22, 2008

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!   June 15, 2008

I got these for my niece, she's nearly 6 and loved them. She is learning to read now and it was great to see her sounding out names and putting the letters together to spell them on the necklaces. It's evident that she'll be playing with these for a while as she discovers that you could actually load up the strings instead of having only a couple of beads in the middle. That said: you might want to get some extra beading string right off the bat; we were out in a very short time with lots of beads left in the box. The beads are sturdy, cute and easy to put on the strings. The box has a nice lid and keeps everything organized and easy to put away.
