Review on Origami Flower Lights Kit for Kids - 4M Kidzmaker by Dawn Fischer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

fun difficult and just no fun.

If you're looking to piss off the whole family, get this set! While it might be great if you have origami experience, if you don't, it's not a fun craft kit at all. And to say "from 5 years" is just comedy gold, because that was very difficult for both of us adults. One of them has a GREAT handicraft experience! More importantly, our 8 year old was just bored after many failed attempts. The problem from the start is that you get bad instructions. For example, look at the image below, which is the first page: although it may be obvious after a few folds, it doesn't tell you right away which side is UP to start with (printed side or non-printed side). ?). .This is what immediately irritates the engineer in me as it is the easiest level of instruction. This only adds to the complexity and lack of clear directions in the instructions. Before you buy, do yourself a favor and cut out a square piece of paper and try side 2. If you like it then this might be the set for you, otherwise save your money. I think it's a great idea and it could work with better performance but currently it was just something we gave up after a while.

Pros
  • Adult supervision recommended
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
