Review on Unleash Creativity with ALEX Discover Giant 🎨 Busy Craft - Perfect for Kids' Imaginative Pursuits by Jeff Jackson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Liked the product. Minimum Instructions!

This box contains high quality "ingredients" for building projects, however the instructions provided are only written for each of the four types of projects. There are clay animals, paper bag animals, framed cardboard scenes, crepe paper on cardboard animals, etc. However, instructions are provided for only one of the items in each category. As a follower of the guide I find it difficult to manage my 4 year old's creative juices as there is a box of supplies but no guide for 3/4 projects. Sometimes the box shows one of the designs so we can try to reproduce it, but other than that I'm disappointed. It would be great to have written instructions for all 16 items instead of just having me guess what consumables are used for each one. Many Thanks. Update after purchase over a year ago: I'm changing my rating from 4 stars to 3 stars. I've been using the designs in this box for a long time, and while I really like the designs and the quality of the materials, I now have a bunch of extra 'pieces' and unfinished projects because there were no instructions for 12 out of 16 projects . There aren't even pictures showing which parts went with which project. A photo wouldn't hurt either. So the kids just chose the pieces they wanted to use from the box and ended up taking the pieces from multiple projects. While it's "creative," it messes up the rest of the parts. I would say that out of 16 projects we have completed 10 and 6 are left with a bunch of consumables and parts that don't match.
