Toys and Games Reviews of Alex Friend 2 Friend Friendship Bracelet Kit
Customer Review: Great toy for kids and adults!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for my 8 yr old. I love it so much that she hasn't had a chance to use it yet because I can't put it down. Unlike some other reviewers, I didn't think that the instructions were hard to understand. The wheels make 4 different bracelet patterns but the procedure is the same for all 4 patterns. All that differs is where you put the colors on the wheel to start. The bracelets are made by repeating just a couple of simple steps over and over again. The hardest part is that you move two strings, turn the wheel, move two strings, etc and if you look away from the wheel and then look back it can be hard to tell where you left off. My daughter may have trouble with it because it does take some concentration and you have to remember to mark where you left off before you take a break. The wheels are made of durable foam so they are very lightweight. I would recommend this for ages 8 and above.Customer Review: Great activity for all ages!

I bought one of these for myself (just for fun) but the two wheels were quickly taken over by my 6 and 9 year old kids. There is only one set of four motions required to make all the brackets (the pattern is set by the initial ordering of the threads, and the wheels are color-coded to help you set up 4 different, very cute patterns: hearts, flowers, diamonds, and a four color barber-pole stripe) With a little tutoring even my 6-year old was able to produce bracelets as long as I was there to provide the occasional reminder. The bracelets take a while to produce so the child you purchase this for should have a good attention span, but the end product is very nice. I'm buying one for my little girl's friend. I hope she likes it as well as my kids do. Now I just need to get another for me!Customer Review: Fun for a lazy afternoon

We bought this kit for some summer fun. It was difficult to follow the directions (even my older teens had trouble - the bracelets do not come out like the patterns show) and it made pretty chunky bracelets. Also, if you make the floss lengths as directed, the bracelets are pretty short (will fit younger kids better) - they won't stay on the "loom" long enough to make them longer. Also, the loom isn't very sturdy and would bend and the slots got frayed after a few bracelets. My kids would have liked to make some skinnier styles but the kit only came with 4 wide patterns. It takes a lot of floss to make a bracelet so plan on buying extra floss if you want to make more than 4-5 bracelets. All in all, it was a good purchase but not something that will be used over and over again.Customer Review: Love it, Love It, LOVE IT!

This project is so cool. When you first look at it you would never believe that it would make a bracelet, but it does! I have done a little research and people have said that this product is based off of a old Japanese loom-type-thing. I think it is amazing and my grandmother couldn't believe it either. The only band thing is the embroidery floss. It does not come in many colors, it has a knot tying together the two ends that is very hard to get undone, and in the middle of my first project a piece broke in my hand so I had to start all over again. Luckily I had already ordered embroidery floss that should be here soon.Customer Review: .bracelet maker
