| The contents of the box... |
We had a quick read of the instructions and then they found all the pieces to their animal.
We then got stuck in making the animals.
The first time we used it the pieces fell off, we thought we needed glue but then we realised we need to push the pieces on with a firm hold and they soon got the hang of it.
First to finish was my daughter with her butterfly and soon she wanted to try another animal so she did the fish.
They enjoyed playing with this and making the butterfly, fish and lion and am sure they will make many more things over the coming weeks.
They have already asked what other things they do in the range, so am sure it will end up as one of the items on their Santa list..
The only negatives they had were minimal being a little disappointed that all the pieces in the right colours were not in the box.
What they provide though is extra pieces of fabric for you to cut out and make your own shapes and inventions.
I think for little ones its quite difficult to cut out the fabric into the shape they desire, so some adult supervision would be recommended.
My daughter has started using the fabric to accessorise lots of her favourite toys and her furniture. So thinking outside the box with this toy, gives you many extra hours of fun.
