Toys and Games Reviews of Faber Castell Big Fun Crafts
Customer Review: Not what I was expecting
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not a very crafty person, and I'm trying to do more with my 3 year old son since I just had a baby and want to spend quality time with him. I had purchased some pre-made craft packages, and thought I'd try this out.
I was rather disappointed. My son had fun playing with some of the items, and we used them to make a few crafts, but I was expecting more ideas for what to do with the pieces. The description says there are lots of project ideas, but all I saw was a few pictures on the box giving you a few basics. I guess I was hoping for a guide or booklet with directions to make specific crafts.
I was also disappointed with some of the materials. I don't like the chenille yarn...it sheds, and I had little pieces of colored yarn all over my house (and the dogs). I would have rather seen some nice pieces of thick wool yarn, which is something I tend to use in our crafts. I also don't like the craft sticks (tongue depressors). Instead of being wood, they are flimsy foam. I find that wood ones work much better for most crafts.
The description also says that when you are finished, you can tuck everything away back in it's box. The box is flimsy plastic with a plastic lid, so it's not the easiest thing to use as a container, especially with a 3 year old boy. To be fair, according to the package the age for this is supposed to be 4+ (Amazon's description says 36 months to 6 years).
Personally, I'd rather go out and purchase some wooden craft sticks, some googly eyes, some thick wool yarn and some colorful pipe cleaners. I ended up buying some craft books, which were much more useful than this box of crafts (and gave me some ideas of what I can do with the contents of this box). I really like Easy-To-Do Holiday Crafts From Everyday Household Items!: Including Crafts for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, and Every Day of the Year!
