Description of String World Activity Set

With the String World Activity Set, kids between five and 12 years old can create unique string artwork and jewelry that will surprise friends and impress adults. Kids use the special glue filled pens to trace pattern overlays on a large, plastic workstation. As kids trace, the pen dispenses colorful string that hardens into place with the help of the glue. Once the glue dries, kids can wear and display their colorful string creations.

What We Think

Fun factor:
Durability:
Educational factor:
Novelty factor:

The Good: Kids too young for cross-stitching will enjoy tracing patterns with string.

The Challenging: String and glue mixture can sometimes harden inside of the pens, making it difficult to trace.

In a Nutshell: Child-safe activity set empowers kids to create and wear their own unique string jewelry.


The pen dispenses colorful string that hardens in place, so kids can wear and display their creations. View larger.


The workstation features an internal compartment that is designed to hold all the pens, patterns, and pieces. View larger.

Special Pens Dispense String as You Trace
The String World Activity Set lets kids create custom jewelry and decorations out of string -- it's like cross-stitching, but with a pen instead of a needle! Creations take shape on a large, plastic workstation that features a removable pegboard. By tracing around the pegs with the pen, kids can weave the string into the shapes of necklaces, bracelets, heart shapes, or stars. Because the pens contain glue, the string stiffens in half an hour into jewelry you can wear or display!

Custom Jewelry and Decorations Galore!
Featuring 20 paper pattern overlays, two miniature dolls, and a mold for making rings, this activity set will stimulate kids' creative imaginations. An included key chain lets kids take their string dolls with them wherever they go, and two blank pattern pages challenge them to create a string design from scratch. Because each of the four included pens contains a different color of string, kids can simply retrace their designs for a multi-colored masterpiece!

Clean and Reuse the Workstation, Again and Again
While the string creations depend on glue to hold their shape, parents can rest assured that this activity set won't leave a sticky mess. The string is mostly dry, and any leftover residue on the workstation can be removed with a little soap and warm water. The workstation also features an internal compartment that is designed to hold all the pens, patterns, and pieces, so kids can tidy up the room after they're done. The workstation's convenient carrying handle makes it portable, too, so kids can easily take it to a friend's house.

When using the activity set for the first time, younger children may require the help of an adult to understand the instruction manual. Additionally, because the string has a tendency to harden inside of the pens, adults can help by pulling the strings to loosen them when necessary.

What's in the Box
Workstation, blue overlay, pegboard, string cutter, ring form, bonus key chain, four string pens, two dolls, 20 patterns on paper, eight curve forms, two pairs of eyes, and instruction manual.




String World Activity Set comes with string cutter, ring form, bonus key chain, 4 string pens and more.
