This "Flower Power Jewelry Kit" is perfect. It contains a lot of wooden decorative beads, and five cords that can be cut to the desired length. The only complaint I can come up with is that my child could probably use up all five cords and all of the beads in one sitting. That's not really a complaint though, because it only tells how much fun she's having. If they have larger sets with more beads and strings than this one, I would say go for it!
The description says that the beads are a choking hazzard and not for children under three years old. I'd say the perfect age for this would be 3-1/2 or 4 years old and up. My child may not have been ready for these at 3 years of age.
We've had several sets of these beads. They are so much prettier than the plastic ones and can actually be worn with my girls' little outfits and look fashionable. Also makes a great party activity / party favor. Great for coordination, color recognition, etc.
This review will begin with my own experiences with these beads, and later will include opinions of it as a toy from the perspective of a childless person. I have started the new hobby of beading. This kit includes beads I can use for making jewelry. The only disadvantage of them for jewelry making is the holes are very large in the beads. (This would be an advantage to children, I would think.) I have solved the problem of the big holes by either knotting stringing material and slipping the beads over the knots, or inserting a smaller bead inside the wooden one.
I was pleased with the quality of the materials and the value for the cost. (The wooden box alone is worth half the cost of the kit.) The colors are very bright and the beads are smooth.
The strings included with this kit are like thin shoestrings. They would be very easy for a child to handle, I would think. They can be "un-knotted" when a child is ready for a change in pattern.
I bought this bead set for my 5yr old daughter. The beads are nice and the cords are easy to string. She has enjoyed making necklaces and taking them apart. This is definately a good toy for a kid who will enjoy sitting and stringing beads.
My niece lives in a different continent and I had this shipped to her for her sixth birthday. She loves crafts and drawing. And has fallen absolutely in love with this set. I always wanted to buy her something like this when she was little.
But now that she is six and her brother is four it is safe for me to buy this for her. Since she has opened the box, I hear that she hasn't stopped making bracelets and what not. I am sooo thrilled that she has a present she will always cherish and remember. We get to hear about it on the phone all the time.
Now I haven't seen the present myself, just read the reviews and had it shipped. But the good thing is my brother or her father would never allow her to use it unless it was safe and practical to use. So if they have allowed her to use it, I can trust its a good present to give a six year old.
My 5 year old daughter has strung many a cheap plastic bead in her day but these cheerfully painted wood beads are much prettier and sophisticated than the usual tacky plastic ones. With this kit she made 3 long necklaces for herself with some of the product left over.
For young children this is a great craft to build fine motor skills. This also became an educational opportunity when I started teaching her the words "pattern," "symmetry" and "asymmetry."
One evening when helping my daughter choose which bead to use next we compared sides and made a symmetrical patterned necklace. Then on her own she said she was going to make an asymmetrical pattern. All the necklaces turned out beautifully.
The packaging of this bead set is very attractive and would make a great birthday or Christmas gift especially for a girl. The price nice too.
My son who is 3 1/2 makes jewelry for his aunts and grandparents with this. He is so proud of it and its the few moments of the day that he sits still concentrating on getting each bead just right!
My 3 yr old, loves strings and anything that is "so pretty". This product covers both of those things. It entertains her for long periods, and she loves to share it with her cousins. I plan on purchasing more of these products in the future.
We have several boxes of these Melissa And Doug bead sets b/c we just can't get enough of them! My three children (twin boys - one girl) love to sit and make necklaces over and over again! YES! My boys love this too!!! It's a great exercise for their fine motor skills! The patience they have all developed to sit and string these small beads together is wonderful! It's great practice for them as they create different patterns with each new necklace. I suggest getting a few boxes - especially if you have more than one child playing with them at the same time. Our favorite set includes letters so they can each spell out their own name or other words.
**Not suggested for small children who will mistake them for pieces of candy.
