Price wise, I consider Amazon's price reasonable. I probably would have to spend more if I gather the supplies myself and would have the hassle of dealing with all the leftovers.
Personal reasons and pricing aside, I am actually quite impressed with the quality of the stuff inside. The quantity for each project is either good or on the generous side. Everything is bright/colorful and printed on quality paper. The projects create surprisingly little or no mess. All age appropriate -- some clearly require a longer attention span than my kid has or greater dexterity. That's ok; I help her with some stuff or let her finish the project in a couple of sittings. I can also try to challenge her, making up related stories/asking her decoration preferences while we do these projects and encourage her to keep at it a little longer to expand her attention span. These projects would work best for 2.5-4 year olds. I like the individual packaging for most of the projects. That way, I can efficiently take one out at a time w/o letting my kid sees the rest and get distracted.
There are only two things that I would change: the box came with just one instruction sheet that shows how some of the projects are put together. For those of us who like reading instruction manuals, the only way to get an idea of what the final product look like are the images on the big box. Like I said, my kid gets distracted and wants whatever she sees, so I would have preferred not to have the box in front of her (albeit with all the content removed) while we do a project. Second, I noticed that I did not get one of the projects pictured on the box but something else of the same type of activity. That's kind of a disappointment because I really like the fish tissue art instead of a star tissue art; plus, I believe in you-buy-what-you-see. I don't know how frequently Alex products make substitutions like this.
This was a worthwhile investment. I love seeing my kid getting so excited during and after finishing a project. So proud and eager to hang up her latest masterwork!
It was larger than I thought and just one box contributes a lot. Even my slightly older children liked it. I was a little surprised because many reviewers recommended this for toddlers and preschoolers and I was trying it out on my six year old. But my 8 and 9 year old boys dove right in too. And of course my littlest one wanted in too.
You just plunk it down and there are 16 crafts in it, so there is enough for a whole morning with several children. (Or quite awhile with just one child.) Everything from just sticking stickers on a picture to paper bag puppets. Nothing fancy, but I really appreciated how all the crafts worked and looked like the ones on the box. No crazy parental involvement to get tricky parts right, or waiting several hours while glue dried, or whatever. It even included a big glue stick so you wouldn't run out halfway.
Now the directions are not so great... just a couple visuals, so a parent would have to help a preschooler. And our box seemed to include only directions for 5 of the crafts, so my kids had to look at the pictures on the box for the others. But for an average kindergartner, that's probably not a problem. And the great part is that all the craft projects come in separated bags, so as long as your little excited one doesn't rip them all open at once and dump them out (which is incredibly tempting to do since there is so much stuff in there!), you are all set.
It comes with several plastic bags with the special papers in them, four or five blobs of playdoh, stickers, a frame, and everything else required. As long as you have a pencil, you can take it with you to Grandma's or on a trip, or whatever. Like all art projects, the crafts aren't particularly durable, but they are very good quality materials. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Wow!! So impressed. What an improvement. I was so happy to see that all the projects were so nicely separated into its own sleeves!! It also came with a colorful instructional sheet that lets us know whic sleeve to pull ad what additional pieces we need to pull from the separate box of accessories like the glue, ad what not. My just tuned four year old didn't have any problems doing the frog puppet this morning and my newly turned 2 year old finished the pizza project without my help. I wish I knew of their new packaging before the deal because I would have bought a few more as gifts. Oh well.
Even though I got it for half price, I definitely think its worth the full price. It comes out to about $2 a project and though some may not seem worth $2 in materials, if you consider the fact that they are pre-cut and ready to go, it is worth every penny.
