OUR THOUGHTS…When the kit arrived my 10 year old daughter and I were excited to try out a new craft project together. Because the kit I received was for a review and recommended for 8 and up, I told her to read the instructions and then try it out first. Not too long afterward, she came back with a  puzzled look and a bit of frustration. I read the instructions and thought, “oh this is easy, here’s all you have to do…” and then…my hands started cramping, threads were tangling over time, and the bracelet when “half-way” through looked NOTHING like the design it was supposed to be. I put it away for awhile and took it back out in hopes that it would be easier….I still couldn’t get it right and my daughter gave up.

This kit is perhaps better suited for the older pre-teen with a creative flair and patience.
