User questions & answers

Question:	What do I do if there are no clasps in the box
Answer:	I'd say its probably a bit juvenile for a 9 year old. My 6 year old barely touches them anymore, and when she does, it's usually just to make play jewelry that she also doesn't touch.
Question:	I'm confused on clasp: Are we supposed to use the cone-shaped bead like the pic? And how do you press them together
Answer:	I don't see why not. As long as the input is via a 1/4 inch mono plug. It is an amazing little practice amp but don't expect it to reproduce the sounds like a more powerfulamp and 12 inch speaker.
Question:	This was given as a gift to my kid. There are no clasps. What should we do
Answer:	If you are expecting any kind of real bass feel, this amp won't give it to you. I would rather spend the money on a bass-buddy, it's like a little personal guitar amp. It clips to your belt and you plug your guitar in and then slip on the headphones. For the bass, it gives you several bass setups like 'slap' or 'fretless' . If you don't want to use headphones, run the headphone jack from the bass buddy into a stereo input and you'll find a better sound.
Question:	IS THIS OK FOR A 9 YEAR OLD
Answer:	You can use it normally. It's plastic but it's well built. However if you use it in extreme condition you have to protect. But If you use it normally..be care only in front part where you can find speaker. In fact speaker could be demaged. But this problem is for all amply big and small

Answer:	It was a solid gloss white

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the wooden box has a lid
Answer:	I gave this to my almost 3- year old last year and it was just a bit too soon. But honestly, don't buy this. The stickers don't stick to the bracelets. The adhesive isn't strong enough, and the bracelets are too slick. They don't really even stick the first time you try to apply them. If they do stick, they'll pop off in minutes.
Question:	Worth buying
Answer:	I would return it.
Question:	The instructions mention 'clasps'. I found none in the package
Answer:	There should be plastic clasps in there that break apart. If you look on the back of the box it will show you how to thread the cord & tie it through the clasp. I put one end of the clasp on before beading. Then when LO finished, I put the other end on the of her bead string. Does that make sense?

Question:	How big are the beads
Answer:	I'd say 3 to 5. Although 3 may be a little young, (my 3 year old grandson can't do it by himself, but he had no patience whatsoever!), and 5, a little old (my 5 year old grandson does them in one minute!... but they are very different in their development...I think the 5 year old could have done it when he was 3...). So it really depends on the child... 3-4 years old seems the best age range.

Choosing the Best Toys

Increasingly, doctors and child development experts around the world are recognising the value of hands-on, imaginative play.

And it is these skills that are crucial building blocks for success and personal fulfilment in adulthood.

User questions & answers

Question:	is this good for a 4 year old
Answer:	It would probably be ok for a 4 year old. My granddaughters were older (11 & 13) and they enjoyed them. They got them for Christmas so I may not remember everything in the kit. I think they had stickers to decorate the bands & that's all I really remember.
Question:	Do these stay on well? Thinking about using to help separation anxiety in my three year old but won’t help if fall right off
Answer:	They stayed just fine on my daughter,but she's almost 8. I did notice if the Velcro on them get dirty they don't last long.They're to small for adult wrists if you are planning to wear one. But she loved them and that's all that mattered to me.
Question:	Is it made in China
Answer:	I got these as a gift shipped directly to the recipient, so I never got to actually see the product. But my niece loved this, apparently. I did some quick research and found this product meets ASTM D4236 - 94(2011) Standard Practice for Labeling Art Materials for Chronic Health Hazards (but I'm in no way knowledgeable about what that standard meets). My research also found that most of their products are made in China or Vietnam, though they originally manufactured their products in the United States.
Question:	Is eight years old too old for this
Answer:	It depends on your child! I do not see why not! They are very adjustable and fun to decorate! My three year old granddaughter had adult supervision whereas an 8 year old would not need this.

Simple, frustration-free process.

Four reversible bracelet bands in eight glittery colors are ready to wear right out of the box...but what truly makes them one of a kind is the creativity that comes next: This stylish set lets children add even more glitz and glam with glitter stickers and shimmering gem stickers to arrange on the bands. The coordinating colors and simple process ensure confidence-boosting success as children see their designs come together, creating cute accessories they’ll be proud to wear and share. The finished products--four reversible bracelets--are even easy to wear: Simply fold them around the wrist and press to connect the adjustable self-stick closure.

Adjustable and reusable.

An extra-long self-stick closure adjusts to just the right size for any wrist--from child to adult. Simply press the ends together to create a secure closure. Too tight or too loose? Open, shift, and close again. The hook-and-loop tabs mean each bracelet can be removed and re-worn countless times. And with four reversible bracelets in eight unique colors, the easy removal means easy fashion revisions as kids choose a favorite to wear, arrange a colorful bracelet bunch, or flip the bracelets over to change their whole look.
