Review on Enhance Bedtime with Thames Kosmos Moonlight Elephant Illuminated: A Magical Nightlight Experience by Jeff Long

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Much harder than expected

I had to believe the other reviews that it was very difficult to assemble but like many people they probably thought I said "But I love collecting things!" How difficult is it? DIFFICULT. The plastic is very hard and difficult to work with. The pieces are very difficult to put together, to the point that my hands and fingers ached when I finished assembling the "lantern". As others have pointed out, the instructions are images only and may be difficult to follow on more complex builds. It looks really cool when everything is put together and the (very very bright) lights added, which deserves more than one star, but there is no way a child could put it together, especially a small child 6+. Overall I wouldn't recommend this as a gift for a child or someone who gets excited easily. It would probably be good for those who really love the challenge and unique lights.

Pros
  • Videos with step-by-step building instructions for the models included in the set (Elephant, Fox, Kangaroo and Safari Lantern) are available online.
Cons
  • Some issues
