This helps so much! My eight yr old can make cool bracelets with very little help from me. All the other kits required my almost constant assistance. With this i set up the looms and let her weave away and only assist when she doesn't remember where she stopped or wants to add beads etc.
Needs Improvement, but fun
The thread that came with this kit is horrible--it unravels, tangles easily. I can't imagine a child using it. When using the square looms, the most important step in the directions (pulling the cross threads tight) is in the hints section. I have had the round looms for several months and figure out patterns by trial-and-error then try to remember what I did; it is so much easier drawing them out on the grid that came with the squares. Is there anything like that for the round ones? The square looms work well with round cording--the patterns are much easier to discern. I use these bracelets as incentives for improved classroom behavior, recognition for a great job, excellence, and thank-yous.
A Fun Gift for the Grandchildren
This is a well made and well thought out product. Our granddaughters have a great time making bracelets.
Fun for Girls age 6+
My daughter received this kit for Christmas, and has really enjoyed making bracelets. The kits comes with a full rainbox of colors, and the instructions are easy to follow. The addition of beads makes things a little more messy and complicated, but the end result is worth it. A great gift for girls between the ages of 6-15.
Wonderful toy!
This is a really great bracelet-making kit. My 6 year old picked it up very quickly, and it makes some really amazing patterns (hearts, flowers, several variety of stripes and checkerboards). It takes about 5-10 minutes to get a new bracelet "set up" on the loom (that's the only somewhat hard part) but then once you get going on the weaving it's very quick and easy. My daughter had tried some other bracelet making kits (the kinds with only string and instructions) but she would forget where she was in the pattern, get knots in the string, etc. This kit makes it much easier for her make very intricate patterns. She loves it! Can't tell how durable it will be yet, but I think it will be fine. It's worth it to spend the money for the kit with 2 square looms and 2 round looms to get a wider variety of patterns.
