Watch broke within an hour!
My 6 year old daughter received this as a gift.The watches are cheap and fall apart easily.The bands are difficult to tie and to lace through the watch.These do not make good watches although you can make cute bracelets with the beads. ... Read more

My Heart Box
My 7 y.o. received this kit as a b-day gift from a friend who knew that she loved crafts, as well as hearts.This was the PERFECT gift!It kept my daughter busy for hours, between the sanding, the painting and the glueing with the glitter, marbles and a few favorite pictures.The finished product is adorable and now my daughter keeps her "special" keepsakes in her heart box.She had so much fun doing this project for herself that she wanted to make another one and give it to her Grandma as a gift, for her to keep her special things in as well.Great kit to give as a gift as is, as a finished product or just for fun at home!Would also make a fun party idea...to do this as a craft, then the kids have a souvenier to take home with them (better than a party bag!) ...

Gift for my Sister
I ordered this kit for my sis for Xmas with the knowledge that she is very into artsy-craftsy sorts of things.I figured that it would be a great time for she and I to spend some time together, figuring out what we wanted to draw for each of the twelve months as well as what special dates needed to be put on the calendar.Seems like it might be a great gift for any child interested in art - nothing like seeing your drawings, paintings, and photos meshed into a functional calendar that you get to use all year...And, like I said, a great way to spend some time with a family member, while you're putting together ideas and sketching out pictures to send in!
1 3/4 thumbs up!

It's great item
I loved it so did my son he is almost 6 years old. We were very happy to make a special calendar to give his Nana for X-mas.
But there are 2 things I wasn't very happy about it that are actually related.
When I ordered I thought that the calendar was inside the box all ready to use and all you have to do was draw or glue some pic or stickers at the top part of it. But NO with the kit it only comes with the papers for you draw or whatever and you want then you have to mail the papers to them or upload to their site to get the calendar made for you.
That's my second problem with this kit even tough the envelope to return the pictures to them it has a free stamp on it they'll charge you $2.95 for S/H (more if extra calendars are ordered). Also it takes 3 weeks from when they receive plus 3 to 10 days for the delivery time. Of course the Rush delivery is available for a $12.95 still will take 3 weeks for them to get ready maybe even more time during X-mas time or the end of school year. So if you want this calendar for this X-mas or any special date that you need fast forget it.
The good thing is you can order extra calendars with the same order for only $14.99 each( instead of $19.99)also have cool options like laminate,Print speacial notes at special dates, extra months, make it bigger etc...( all that at extra charge including printing special dates/each).
Overall I think is a great item great to give as a gift or to make as a gift we have fun together and will give his Nana a special gift this X-mas (even it might get there late. Hope that helped

The coolest product.
I love this kit.We got it so we could make a gift to give to all the relatives (even though you can start your calendar with any month, we're giving it as hoiday gifts). My kids drew pictures, we added photos, stickers, poems.We included everyone's birthday, anniversary etc.My one son even wanted his report card added to one month!It's not like some of those other calendars you get where you just slip a picture in a folder.This is a real printed up calendar that's bound together.The quality was excellent.We'll do this again. ...

It looks like a rectangular lunch box made of yellow nylon cloth, but rip open the sturdy Velcro fastener and this cleverly designed art pack rolls out flat and becomes four zippable, see-through compartments for 50 felt-tipped pens. The first two compartments contain 28 simple stick pens in colors that cover the basics, but also include pink, gray, and several different shades each of purple, brown, and orange. The third compartment has eight stubbier, thicker markers. Best of all, the fourth compartment has a dozen "brush tip" pens so flexible they can make a line vary from very fine to almost a quarter-inch thick. A lot of color for your money. --Richard Farr ...

Markers dry out very quickly!
The case these markers come in is great!However, the markers themselves are of very poor quality, they dried out within a couple of weeks, and my daughters kept the caps on them.

Won't Wash off!
My daughter received this as a gift for her 3rd birthday.She loves it. There are thick markers and think markers. The variety is endless. However, the ink will not wash off of clothes.Be warned.I would love to find asimilar set that is washable. ... Read more

Low Price, But Not Very Necessary
First, this bag contains exactly what it promises. Read the production description. Click on the picture to view a larger version. You are told exactly what is in the bag.
The only problem is that you could get these things separately, and the duffel itself isn't really necessary.
Still, the price is low and it is cute enough to hold a child's attention. The duffel, of course, can be reused.

Missing pieces
I am very disappointed with this product. The amazing art duffle bag came in almost empty. Promised bags of modeling clay, stamping markers, stickers and the activity booklet was nowhere to be found. Then I started reading the other reviews about this product and sadly realized that I was not the only one... I can't believe Crayola continues to ship the product half empty. It is about time that someone takes an action...

Do Not Buy
This seems like a "Bait & Switch" ... The picture shown, as well as the written decription, portrays a fun filled (and I do mean FILLED) bag of art supplies, when it is actually filled with mostly air.The missing supplies included three packages of modeling clay, 10 washable mini stamp markers, the activity booklet, of the 15 sticks of sidewalk chalk promised - it came with only 6.There were no washable markers - there are 10 non-washable markers.
This is an extremely disappointing purchase. ... Read more

This toy is excellent for young kids and is a great help for occupation.It is a wonderful toy.

Where's the Camera?????
This is a great kit for a little girl, would be much better if it was as advertised.Once again I order a gift for a little one, and the write up is incorrect! Write up states ..."1 beginner camera"....There is no camera in the kit.This is the second time this has happened (in as many orders) to me.I am about through with Amazon.com.You have quick delivery, and a good selection, however, when there is false advertising about an item, one begins to wonder.!!!

Memory/scrapbook kit
My 5 1/2 year old daughter received this kit from her grandparents for Christmas. I give her photos and she crops, pastes and decorates as she chooses.Everything you need (other than the camera) is included.My daughter likes it so much, we are giving her school friend the same kit for her birthday this week.This kit is a great way to start little ones on preserving their own memories! ...

Editorial Review

Your first efforts as a paleontologist have been wildly successful. After laboring tirelessly to excavate your find from the site (i.e., opening the box), you have been rewarded with the complete skeletal remains of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The 51 pieces of this Jurassic puzzle are spread out before you and, with the help of your excavation site map, you carefully begin the process of reconstructing this notorious prehistoric carnivore. Made from Baltic birch, the interlocking pieces in this puzzle kit require no hardware or glue to assemble. An excellent exercise in shape recognition and spatial reasoning, assembling the puzzle requires patience and careful attention to detail and, possibly, the assistance of an adult. But the rewards are great as you transform a pile of scattered "bones" into an impressive model of a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton. Once the puzzle is assembled, you can leave it standing as a display piece, or disassemble it for future use. A wooden "rock hammer" and sandpaper have been included to aid in the assembly process, but you may pick up a few splinters putting this wooden puzzle together if you're not careful. Educational dinosaur booklet and scientific fact file included. Measures 24 inches tall by 36 inches long.--Chris Burns ... Read more

Editorial Review

Budding abstract artists can get their start with the clever and highly entertaining Wacky Roto Art kit. Kids spin a sturdy plastic wheel while squeezing two plungers filled with paint (includes red, yellow, and blue). The square of paper attached to the wheel is spattered, squirted, and sprayed while it spins, creating abstract art worthy of Jackson Pollock (well, almost). Sounds too messy? Fear not! A transparent plastic shield protects the immediate environs from becoming installation art. Do take note: attaching the shield--and keeping it attached--is no easy feat. However, for families who are sick of battery-powered toys, this kid-powered alternative (kids not included) will be worth the potential for a little mess. Includes spinning wheel, plastic shield, spray plunger and paint cups, 10 sheets of paper, three little tubs of paint, and one paint brush (in case children want to venture out beyond splatter art). --Emilie Coulter ...

Just Not Worth It- Even On Sale. Not Even If It Was Free!!!!
Wish I could give this negative stars. The reviews don't lie on this one.
The shield doesn't stay on, it was frustrating to put together, one of the sprayers didn't work, The paper is small and gets drenched after a second, you can't change the paper without a huge mess, the toy is messy in general, the spayers turn around enough so it can get sprayed outside the sheild....need I go on?
this went right into the trash after a few minutes of use!!!

No fun for kids or adults!
My 4 year-old daughter received this as a birthday gift.She loves the Spin Art by Roseart we already had, so I thought she'd like this as well.We quickly opened it and assembled it.During the spinning, the shields kept falling off, the paint was everywhere, and missed the paper!

I quickly returned it-- get the Spin Art by Roseart instead-- I think it's about $10!

It's Wacky all Right
Don't waste your money!My hands are blistered from the assembly and the sheild keeps falling off.In ours we had two blue paints and one yellow instead of blue, yellow,and red.It was huge mess.The paper was quickly soaked and fell off the holder.It is obvious that Crayola didn't try this ill-conceived thing out before they sold it!
