 Terrific for the craft-lovers and ballet lovers, ages 5-8.Jan 12, 2010
I have now given these to three girls ages 5-8 and got to see the level of enthusiasm, interest and absorption the kit generated personally. An 8 year old ballet-lover spent the evening after her birthday party enthusiastically working on these glittery images (among all of her presents). For my craft loving 7 year old (who isn't into ballet but likes glitter and artistic poses), this was among her favourite Christmas presents (along with her make your own pop-up-book and her my little pony set, which might help you identify the target audience). She was so proud of her mosaics she took the rare step of attaching them to the wall herself. Even my husband admired them! I also gave it to a five-year-old ballet lover, who is not typically into time consuming, attention demanding activities. She was thrilled and worked through half of the set in the few days I was there. She had no difficulty with the stickers which I thought might be fiddly for five year old fingers, and had no difficulty following the instructions. I had also been afraid it might be too boring for 5 year old sensibilities. Not at all! She was very proud of the beautiful picture emerging under her fingertips and kept showing it to us with amazement as the pictures developed.
A critic might say this is not as creative an activity as an open-ended art project, since it is mosaic by number (so in a way it is fine-motor task); however, the result is so pretty that it still appeals to the child's aesthetic sense. In my view, the only con to this product is that when the child peels off the little white squares at the back of each sticker they inevitably end up on the floor. There are a LOT of squares in each mosaic so a lot of little white bits on the floor. At least the clean-up is a quick sweep rather than scrubbing. Finally, while it is true that some squares get dropped or accidentally stuck in wrong places, there are loads of extra squares so finishing the pictures is not an issue, and I found them easy to peel off the floor when they ended up there.

My 5 year old niece loved this gift. It was easy to do but time consuming. She really enjoyed it.

I bought this toy for my granddaughter who's 5 years old.
It's great to develop coordination and it's big fun.
We both enjoyed it a lot.

Our four year old Grandaughter is all about princesses and ballerinas; this was the perfect craft for her. She loves to do crafts; this is basically like "paint by numbers" only it is mosaics which are sticky. She can spend hours of quiet time just playing with this..it's not for the younger set. The child needs to have good motor skills and know be able to read their numbers to do it, but what fun they will have! This was a new product to me..and I recommend it!

my 6 year old loved this project! the only draw back being the little sticky squares sometimes get on the floor and aren't useable for the art
