Kids' Arts & Crafts - Product Reviews

digitaldiva - (June 23, 2009) We got this for my 3 year old for Christmas, he loves to take pictures with my "old, spare" digital camera and actually does a pretty good job for his age. He doesn't like the dual view finder on the Kid Tough Camera, and the button to take a picture is in an odd location as well. He always wants to turn the camera around backwards to use it. The pictures are very low resolution, and the flash doesn't work that well. Considering the price, I would probably have thought of getting him a "real" camera that was cheap and see if it lasted a while instead of spending the money on something that doesn't take a picture worth looking keeping.

Nectarfizz - (March 19, 2006) This kit was a ton of fun for the money. The color transfers pretty easily and the art aspect is wonderful. The only drawback is the small size of the foil sheets. I found that once the sheets were used 3 or more times the stickers were harder to keep from having blank spots. I reccommend buying extra Assorted Embossing sheets to go with the kit, expecially if doing this as a party tool (which I think was a lot of fun) When doing the craft it is best to set the papers up ahead of time with the color side up so no one gets confused by the embossing side. I loved that the stickers have sections that allow you to control the transfer process. Customers should be very careful to take the sticker

purplekitty10 - (November 26, 2005) My child loves to draw. We thought this would be perfect. She was interested for a very short while and drawing on the mat was very awkward because of the size of it. She had to lie down on the mat to get to the middle. The drawing didn't last very long before it disappeared. It is too large to move around so the child has to move all around it. After she finished it had to be laid out to dry and all the pens and stamps also had to be left out to dry. Actually putting the mat and drawing accessories away had to be done the next day to allow drying time. This was very inconvenient to me.

traceybrown - (08/13/2009) My seven-year-old daughter, Millie, has just finished 'building' her Sticky Mosaics Princess Palace and I felt I should share what a brilliant experience it has been. When you unpack the box there are lots and lots of sticky foam and jewel like pieces, so I insisted she organised the project rather than just dive in. Although she was a bit frustrated this approach paid dividends in the long run. One of the best things about this toy is that even though we have now built it we are still getting plenty of play from it - in fact its the centrepiece of the carpet village at the moment! So, I definitely recommend this toy - very good value for the play time it has already given us, and I think there's much more still to come.

cindy0586 - (02/24/2009) I have two sons, 5 and 7 year-old. They love to draw on this Color Explosion Glow Board so much. This Color Board is helping my kids exploring their creativity and imagination. This is a great educational and fun tool for us.
