User questions & answers

Question:	I would like a kit exactly like this but with a child friendly needle. Would a plastic needle work with the materials in this set
Answer:	A size 24 tapestry needle, the type used for cross stitch would work well. It does not have a sharp point so it is child safe but it is meal so it is sturdy enough to pierce through felt.
Question:	Is this a regular needle or a more child friendly needle
Answer:	It is a regular needle.
Question:	What projects are in this kit
Answer:	I purchased this kit for my 10 year old granddaughter. The kit had easy to read instructions and she has learned basic stitches. The projects are: pouch, stuffed animals, book cover. My granddaughter loves it.
Question:	Is this kit gender neutral or will my son think I've given him a "girly" gift - he really wants to learn how to sew
Answer:	I admire your son that he wants to sew and that you are supportive of that. I am a sewer myself and I found that just going to a craft store and buying sewing equipment (needles, thread, scissors, buttons, felt, rick rack, etc.) is a little better quality than what is in this kit. But, the projects are good. There are some books with beginner projects though that can tell you what materials he would need with directions on completing the projects. With my granddaughter, I ended up just showing her how to make the stitches and she designed a blanket (making a hem) and pillow for her dolls. I also taught her to sew on a button, which she used to decorate the pillow. The kit has patterns for making animals, which we didn't get to because we live far apart and ran out of time. Good luck!

User questions & answers

Question:	Could you please tell me the dimensions of the paper bag
Answer:	Dear Customer, Thank you for your question, for your problem: Is glue or glue stick needed. The product included double sided tape, you can use tape to stick the picture. I am so sorry for the inconvenient, we will update this information on our listing page.
Question:	Is it genuine
Answer:	These are not individually wrapped however all the pieces for one animal are on on sheet so if you were doing it for a party you can give the right colored plate and the sheet with the pieces to each person easily. One thing I will also note is that they do not come with the sickies on them, you get a roll of double sided tape that you have to put on each piece and cut for each piece. That is the ONLY thing I really did not like about it.
Question:	Is the glue nontoxic
Answer:	I dont know the actual dimensions without measuring it. but its like a big picture book, the picture is pretty accurate.
Question:	How many bags do you get
Answer:	They are made out of felt.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this be too complicated to take on a plane to occupy a preschooler
Answer:	Not too complicated and I think sitting on a plane would be the perfect place to focus a child's attention on the craft. My only suggestion would be to provide a ziplock to contain the squares of sticker sheets.
Question:	Is this a one-time project, or can the stickers be used multiple times
Answer:	It's a one time project. I don't think the stickers can be reused
Question:	Are these single use pictures or can the activity be repeated
Answer:	Single use only. I highly recommend this engaging craft.

Question:	What is the "frustration free packaging" like for this product? Is it appropriate to give as a gift
Answer:	I don’t remember exactly, but large enough for a toddler to hold, but not small enough that they’d put it in their mouth and swallow them.
