Toys and Games Reviews of Orb Factory Sticky Mosaics: Dinosaurs
Customer Review: A great project but needs some improvement
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this set for my 5 1/2 year old twin boys who loooove dinosaurs and crafts. We have never done any mosaic work nor have we purchased anything from Orb factory in the past. We were very excited to get to work!
Upon opening the box - a nice sturdy box with a handle-we had 4 different dinosaurs to work on and a bag that contained all of the mosaic tiles. The first thing I noticed is there was absolutely no labeling of the mosaic tile pieces. They were all in one bag and NOT number labeled. Now this may not sound like a big deal; however I found it odd and confusing. Many of the colors were very similiar and it was difficult to discern the differences. The bag contained only a tiny sheet of picture directions and tile size pictures of the actual tiles with the numbers. The pictures of the tiles were slightly off in color as well. To work around this issue, I took out a sticky note pad and made my own number labels and separated the tile squares by color and labeled them myself. They ideally should have been separated at the factory and packaged in individually numbered bags or the tiles could have been on a single sheet backer with the number printed on it.
My second observation was that the dino pictures had the tile numbers printed on each square; however the colors they used at times did not match the mosaic tiles. This became confusing for one of my sons. He would forget about the number matching and start matching the tile with the printed color on the dino picture. Easy to do - no? I really have no idea why orb factory would do this!? We ended up having to take off all of the tiles he had color matched and of course damaged some of them and thus they could no longer be used. That leads me to my next criticism. No extra tiles. Why?? Just about everything for kids has some extra pieces. A few extra tiles in each color would be a vast improvement.
We completed 2 dinosaur pictures thus far and really like the finished product. We are going to hang all 4 when completed, in the playroom. The boys were able to complete the dinosaurs on their own after some initial help described above and they truly enjoyed the project. I also purchased the Christmas set when I ordered this. I have not opened it yet to see if we will have the same problems we encountered with this set. I hope not.
I would still recommend this product; however,at this price point we should not have the issues I mentioned.
