Alex Toys Friends 4 Ever Bracelet Making Kit Reviews

We bought this for our daughter seven years for his birthday, in hopes of an interest in a new hobby that stimulates their creativity (and keep your hands busy). The manufacturer declares that this product of 8-12 years and am in general agreement (based on dexterity and attention span). However, some younger children, especially those who have the attention span and can be repeated a pattern with very reliable hands, being able to control this activity. Our daughter is 5 1 / 2 years was given the opportunity, but need help from time to time, when it leaves the structure.

We've noticed that girls do not have much problem with circular looms. However, they had difficulty bracelets Square trades consistently. Seems to be a matter of learning to maintain a uniform tension on the silk weaving and consistently. It is not difficult, but it just takes a little care and practice.

The "suitcase" containing four businesses foam (2 seats and 2 rear), 22 Skiens silk, 2 small containers of beads (clear and colored), the needle heels, and instructions.

* Every job has two models (one on each side) for a total of 8 models. The final design model is printed around the center hole of the trade, and the grooves are painted with colors to create the proposed model. It is easy to change colors to create your own color schemes. After several months, we noticed that the paint starts to rub the notches in the foam business (which occur over time). Back to paint with nail polish may help, but have not yet responded.

* The Skiens silk can learn fairly quickly (only 22). We found that the seam of a shop / prepare a package of 50 sells for about $ Skiens 10.

* We used needle bearings, so I can not comment there. The accounts, however, are the right size for silk and fingers of children (aged seed beeds smaller than grains of horse). My girls have not shown much interest in the formation of grains in their projects. Seem to be trapped in the rate of tissue and forget to use. I would caution that the containers do not guarantee covers the bottom - to escape. I suggest finding another container with a tight lid or tape the lids to prevent spilled grain.

* The instructions are pretty easy to follow. As has been mentioned by others, YouTube videos are useful, especially for those who learn best by watching others. A ruler to measure the floss is printed on the folding instructions, so all you need is a pair of scissors to cut the wire and a pen or pencil (to create the first loop).

* Materials are preserved, trades and supplies in the "bag" that has proven durable.

As our daughters have used the product, we have found for the round of trades and bracelets. I think it's because (1) the rate of tissue is continuous on circular knitting machines, (2) is easier to maintain constant tension on circular looms, (3) the constant stress produces a more uniform and finite product research, bracelets rings (4) are generally faster to complete (our experience has been 1 1 / 2 to 2 hours for the round of bracelets, three cons of the plan bracelets), and (5) to the girls drawings of hearts and flowers produced by circular knitting.

Our girls had a fun time creating bracelets for friends (boys and girls) and themselves. Planning seem to appreciate the colors and try to invent new models. I agree with critics who would have liked to see more models. We also used silk to create our own knots / bracelets braided / woven designs using elsewhere on the web.
