Review on Creative Fun: Unleash Imagination with Melissa Doug's Decorate Your Own Wooden Princess Kit by Anurak Grubb

This is not a craft that can be done in one sitting. I was fine with that, but my daughter was a little less patient. First you have to wait for the glue on the stick and the star to dry to make the stick. Then you can start painting the base layer. Then you should wait until it dries. Then apply glue to one side for the gems. Wait for it to dry. Then apply them to the other side. Wait for it to dry. Then apply glitter glue. Wait for it to dry. Then you can tie the ribbons and play! And if you want it to be darker, you need to apply a few coats of paint. We applied two coats and it turned out great. The first layer was clearly not enough. This is a fun toy at a great price. My 5 year old loves it.
