Review on Craft-Tastic Bunny Friend Sewing Kit - Create Your Own Adorable Stuffed Animal With Clothes And Accessories - Easy-To-Follow Instructions Included by Stephen Burgstaller

Revainrating 5 out of 5

4-year-old can do the fox/bunny!

I bought the fox, the bunny, and the learn-to-sew kit. And I give them all 5 stars. They are great kits.I bought the learn-to-sew kit for my 8-year-old (who already knows how to use a sewing machine because of an after-school club, but doesn't have any real experience with hand-sewing). It's a really nice kit with reusable patterns and a booklet with instruction for extra projects beyond the materials included in the set. i.e. it's not a set that you would use up. The book and the patterns will always be useful.But on to the part of this review that I hope will be most helpful . specifically whether you can push the limits on the age range (which is one of the biggest reasons I tend to read toy reviews . ). Well, I got the fox and bunny kits for my 4-year-1-month old daughter. I had to help with the accessories, but she was able to do the primary sewing. The kit uses a blunt plastic needle with pre-punched holes in the felt. It wasn't much harder than those sewing cards that are a common preschool toy. She is very proud that she made her own stuffie. She really did do the stitching with hardly any help. The finished product is so adorable that I'd think that she could make something like this as a gift for grandma. It's got that sort of "darling" appeal to it that could totally fit in on a shelf full of grownup kitch/decor.

Pros
  • Encourages empathy
Cons
  • The quality of the fabric may be low and easily wear out over time
