After recieving the kit in the mail from The Mac Rak I opened it up to take a look.
I pulled it out today and with the help of my two girls ages 9 and 7, we set to work. The instructions were well written, and easy to follow. Everything needed was included in the kit, which is great so I don’t end up running around to find stuff needed to finish products. Overall I like the craft, and especially like it’s Bible base as a way to let the kids learn about God while having fun. We did encounter some hitches though. The information said that this product is not recommended for children under 3, but even a 9 and 7 year old had problems getting the pieces placed correctly. It would be a great help if the background piece (the shamrock) was a little bit bigger, so it wouldn’t be quite so hard to get things placed right. We had much the same problem getting the word banners placed without overlapping the symbols. However, for a retail price of $4.25 per kit, I can’t complain too much. I think it’s worth the money, even if the placement is a bit persnickity.
You can find this product, and several other ones at The Mac Rak. You can also visit that website to see some pictures of other craft kits.
