Woodland Animals Kids Sewing Kit Offers Hours Of Artful Fun For Girls & Boys Ideal Kids Craft Party Activity Sewing Kit Includes All Craft Supplies & Easy Instructions For Ages 7 To 12

Nice little kit. Had to provide kiddo with real needle. Other than that all the supplies were there and she was able to follow instructions independently with success

My seven year old had been asking for a kids sewing kit for awhile, and I had been looking for one that he might like when I came across this one. He's huge into animals, so this was perfect. It comes with the materials to make five woodland animals - a fox, a chickadee, an owl, a rabbit, and a bear, as well as the tools to make them (minus the scissors). He was very impressed that it had pins and a pincushion in addition to all the rest of it, since that meant he had his own pincushion like his older sister. The majority of the set is very well made - nice felt, nice embroidery thread, nice materials for the animals in general. The box itself is also well made, and he's taken to sometimes carrying it around even when he's not going to make an animal right then. (He's made two of them so far.) The only complaint I have with it? The needles - our metal needle broke the first time we tried to use it, and most of the plastic needles bent and/or broke even with the holes punched into the felt. (They're not very big, and not really lined up to sew the animals the way the instructions tell you to.) That being said, if you have any quality needles at home, you'll be fine. We just ended up using one of the needles from my sewing kit that I have to make repairs and so forth. And even if you don't have needles, they're easily obtained at craft and/or sewing stores for cheap.The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. My seven year old did need help sometimes, but he had no sewing experience before this kit and did better with the stitches when shown them. It was much easier to get the two animals we've made so far sewn once I got out a better needle, as like I said before, the holes don't necessarily line up. He's very please with this kit, and I'm happy to have found it. It's definitely a 4 1/2 star sewing kit - better quality needles would make it a definite 5 star kit. But even with the needles it has, I'd still recommend it.

Purchased for my 6 year old as a in bed craft after surgery. She loves it. She got the hang of it really fast. All we needed in 1 box, a cute box! I love that the sewing needles are metal not plastic!!! Holes line up on the fabric.** we are using backstretch in order to make it look like photos. Straight stitch is missing leading. My only complaint. I did have to reference YouTube on how to start a blanket stitch* but even with that? Still a 5 star kit!

I bought one for my 5 year old girl and my 9 year old boy wanted one of his own. Good quality materials but it won't look quite like the pictures on the box. The pre-made holes don't allow the stitching they show but if you just work with it the animals turn out fine. They're cute, relatively easy to make - with a little adult help -, and seem to hold up pretty well. It's been a fun project I can do with my daughter. My son wanted to do it all himself and that will be more of a learning experience, I'm not sure his first one will stay together: it's as much glue as stitching.

I bought this for our granddaughters, ages 11 and 7 who had no hand sewing experience. The little one had very little interest at first. The older one was thrilled. After showing them how to make the stitches, they made three animals in an afternoon. The needles are blunted and barely penetrated the pincushion but then, the straight pins wouldn’t penetrate it either. I’m not sure what’s inside the pincushion but a simple polyester stuffing would have been better. Otherwise, the punched holes lined up and the kit contained sufficient supplies to complete all of the animals. Very entertaining and they didn’t fuss with each other while making their animals.
