    Great tea set
    My seven year old niece had a tea party theme for her birthday, so this was a perfect gift! She worked on it with my ten year old daughter, and they completed it in one full day. The finished product is great. This is not a cheaply made tea set that's going to break the first time you play with it. My only complaint was that every color of paint was too thick so we had to add water. I should have taken the advise of another reviewer and only added a few drops. I made the yellow a bit too runny.

    Great To Make and Use!
    My daughter and I just finished our tea set a few days ago, and I felt this is a product that truly deserves a good review. I should start by saying that my daughter is MUCH younger than the recommended age and still was able to really enjoy this project.

    Using the example on the cover of the box as a guideline for our tea set, we set out, with my daughter painting all the solid color on the plates and cups (I just smoothed it out a little). My first thought was that we were probably going to run out of paint, but as it ended up there really was enough paint included. Some of the colors were a bit too thick, but adding just a drop or two of water solved this problem. Warning: Don't do what I did and add too much water. Our orange became runny.

    This isn't a project you are probably going to finish in one sitting. We did ours over a three day period. The paint dries pretty quickly, and I'm sure it's possible to do at one sitting, but probably not with young children who have a hard time keeping their hands off of not dry enough paint. Besides, stretching it out made it even more fun for us.

    When it came time to make the paint permanent by baking it in the oven, I realized we had lost our instructions. We e-mailed and left a voice mail at Creativity For Kids. Not only did they e-mail back right away with the instructions, but they also called a couple of days later. WOW!

    Our tea set turned out very cute and my daughter is really having a good time serving tea and food to me and her stuffed animals and dolls. This is definitely something that we will keep and treasure.

    Tea Parties are Lots of F - U - N
    This tea set is the best.. If simply having tea wasn't enough fun.. Now you can use your creative talents and make every tea party a festive affair..

      great birthday gift
      My 7 year old girl got this as a birthday present. The butterflies that come in the kit are very pretty and basically all the children have to do is decorate them. There were 3 butterflies included and my 4 year old also easily decorated one. We hung them from the ceiling in their bedrooms and they look very attractive. This is a one time do it craft project but I think anyone will get nice results.

      Highly recommended
      Great art project with parental supervision. We decorated my 3 yr old daughter's bedroom in a butterfly theme and these mobiles are perfect. She loves to paint and use glitter glue so this was fun. Make sure you cover the surface you are using because the glitter paint does glop and drip through the mesh of the butterfly, and let it dry overnight before touching. It was not very educational for her and she can't play with them, but the butterflies look beautiful hanging from the ceiling. She loves pointing out which squiggle lines she did herself and in what color glitter paint.

        Lots of Fun
        My grandaughter Dalisha got this as a gift from Toysrus.com/Amazon.com for Christmas and she loved it, her biggest problem was picking the colors and working on it without the help or input of her brothers.


        Groovy Ceramic Lamp
        Made by Creativity for Kids
        Age Group: 7 - 12 years
          Amazon base price: $19.99
          List price: $24.99 (that's 20% off!)
          Too many craft projects end up in the drawer; this paint-it-yourself electric bedside lamp kit can light up a room. Included are a small ceramic lamp, a plain white shade, and the basics for decorating them. There's a six-pot set of mixable paints, and also a 20-inch strip of pink pompoms for the shade's fringe, complete with glue. Obviously, these can be supplemented with other craft materials of your choosing. The lamp and shade together are 10 inches high and a 15-watt candle-style bulb is already included. --Richard Farr

          Great Project!
          I bought this lamp for my 7 year old daughter when her baby sister was born. She decorated the lamp for her sister and put it in her nursery. She was very proud of herself and it was a great way for her to be included in getting ready for the baby. Her sister is 2 now and her lamp is still on her dresser. She had a great time putting it together and it is very well made as well. A great project for girls!

          looks cool!
          I gave it 4 not 5 because I don`t have it yet. It looks really cool, and I bet it really is all the box shows! which is more then I can say for alot of toys these days,sadly. Well I will do another review if I get this.

          TERRIFIC !! We buy this for gifts too. GREAT PRODUCT !
          I can't say enough about this lamp. It's QUALITY, a good project for a child 6 years and up. We bought one for a gift for an 8 year old too and she loved it. My granddaughter has a lamp that we made together, for her bedroom. What a good feeling she had when it was complete. By the way, the ONLY thing I did with her was help with glueing on the ball fringe. The only thing I would recommend is that Imaginarium also include other color fringes, like white, black, blue.....or ?? With a PINK fringe, it's clearly earmarked as a girl's project and I think a boy would enjoy a lamp too. I could see a camo lamp with a black fringe too.
          GREAT PRODUCTS COME FROM IMAGINARIUM. I HAVE MANY ON THE CRAFT SHELF!


          Wee Enchanted Garden Kit
          Made by Creativity for Kids
          Age Group: 7 years and up
            Amazon base price: $21.99
            For kids who want to experience the magic of growing their own garden, this kit is a fun and inventive experience. It contains everything you need to grow a small terrarium complete with an entire community of tiny fantastical inhabitants. Paint the special planter with the paints (three primary colors included), fill with soil, and then plant the enclosed beans and grass seeds. Then it's time to arrange the tiny fairy cottage, use the green pebbles to make a tiny path, and decorate the garden with the rocks, shells, and plastic animals that come with the kit. As the beans sprout and grow, you can cut and shape them so they look like miniature trees--and for variety, add pepper, lemon, cantaloupe, and tomato seeds and watch just what comes up. --John Longenbaugh

            Best toy in the world!
            I think that this toy allows fun and education into children. It gives them a craft to play with when they are bored, and is fun for anyone to play with. I defenitely recommend this one of a kind "Wee Enchanted Garden Kit." My child Jessica who is 10, just loves crafts! I also teach in a school and bring crafts for them to do all the time! They seem to really enjoy it a bunch! this is totally a five star kit!

            Color In Tattoos Kit
            Made by Creativity for Kids
            Age Group: 6 years and up
              Amazon base price: $12.99
              Express yourself by designing your own temporary tattoos. Apply the enclosed tattoo outline transfers and color them in using the washable skin markers (and your imagination). Or use the markers alone and work freestyle to create your own body art masterpieces. Tattoos last one to three days. They can be removed with rubbing alcohol or soap and water (and a little elbow grease), or peeled off using adhesive tape. This kit includes over 50 tattoos. Both markers and transfers are made from nontoxic, water-based materials. --Alison Golder

              Tattoo with your child
              Kids love tatoos and my daughter is no exception. Short of actually letting her go get tatooed, this is great. It's fun...you get the hang of it after realizing you can't put in too much water. Enjoy...even my husband was tatooed, so I think it's fun. They wash off in the bath.

              No worth the Money
              It doesn't come with enough tattous. They run out pretty fast. You are just buying 6 markers to draw and color your own designs.

              Good
              My mom bought this set for my four year old son last week. At first I thought it might be a little advanced for him, but he got the hang of it in no time. Now he is tattooing the whole family. They are pretty easy to rub off, but that's probably a good thing, since he covered my daughter's face with flowers right after she got out of the bath! For the price, this is a great toy.


              Beeswax Candles
              Made by Creativity for Kids
              Age Group: 6 - 12 years
                Amazon base price: $16.99
                How can your kids make funky, practical art while learning all about everyone's favorite insects? Beeswax Candles & Bee-havior spreads the word about the little honeymakers and includes five brightly colored, 8-inch-by-8-inch sheets of their finest wax, ready for candle-making. The instructions are clear and simple while leaving room for creativity; the only parental supervision needed is in cutting the wicks (and lighting the finished products, of course--beeswax burns hot!). --Rob Lightner

                Great Craft
                This book is a great introduction for making candles. While it is targeted towards kids, I had a lot of fun with it. I've been doing crafts for quite a while now, but this was my first candle making effort. The beeswax sheets were easy to use and the candles turned out better than I had hoped. If you are looking for an easy way to get into candle making or just want to make a few for gifts, this is a great way to get started.

                Not a good idea
                I bought this for my 10 year old daughter who is quite creative. These candles looked terrible when she completed the project. What a waste of money.

                Natural & Educational
                While I didn't get one for myself, I did give one to a dear aunt and her family and one to a dear friend in CA and they both love them. I have made my own beeswax candles and should buy one for myself. My friend liked learning about the bees and my Aunt Beverly said that they burned nicely.


                Two Glass Plates for You to Paint
                Made by Creativity for Kids
                Age Group: 8 years and up
                  Amazon base price: $18.99
                  Create your own decorative plates with this simple and easy-to-use craft kit. The kit consists of two glass plates, measuring 8 inches and 6 inches, a set of nontoxic acrylic glaze paints in eight different colors, a fine-point paintbrush, and a brief, illustrated instruction booklet. The booklet shows how to mix paints to create new colors and offers suggestions for creating a design. Once you've come up with a design, you simply paint it on the back of the plate using the reverse glass painting technique explained in the booklet, and then allow the paint to cure for six days (or for 30 minutes in the oven) to make it permanent. Your one-of-a-kind decorative plate is great for display, and you can eat off it too, though you'll need to wash it by hand since it isn't dishwasher-safe. --Elisabeth Fredrickson

                  Waste of $ and time
                  My 2 daughters spent a long time painting the plates and did some beautiful designs, only for them to start coming off as soon as the paint dried. The painted plates are useless, if even a drop of water hits the paint it comes off --Since the product is using glass plates which only older children can handle I think they would be responsible to handle proper glass paint as well. WHat a waste of our money and our daughters' time. The initial "fun" factor was higher but quickly dropped to zero (but I had to select at least one star!) after the girls realized the artwork wouldn't last

                  Fun With Two Glass Plates
                  Painting the plates is a fun activity because you can be creative. The only problem is that you have to be careful or they could crack or break.

                  Fun to Paint...but does not last
                  This was so much fun to paint...BUT, once we let the finished product dry...the paint came right off. Did not stick to the plate. My daughter (7) was so upset, she worked so hard on it. I won't tell you NOT to buy it...but just wish you more luck then we had. Sorry paint a plate company...had to be honest.

                    Your diary is a place to keep all of your private thoughts and feelings safe from the rest of the world. It's meant for YOU alone. That's why diaries come with locks on 'em. With the Create Your Own Secret Diary and Pen kit, you can add a whole new dimension to your diary by also expressing yourself on the outside of it by decorating it uniquely. With the sparkling stickers, brightly colored cord, and fluffy feathers in the kit, you can bring the plain white diary (with lock and key, of course!) to life in a whole new snappy way. Don't forget to jazz up the pen, too! --Alison Golder

                    Don't buy this!
                    This diary is a nightmare! We made the mistake of making it a gift from Santa for our 7 year-old. Now, we have to explain why Santa would give such a lame gift. The diary, itself, is smaller than my hand. The pages were all stuck together. I actually had to separate them page by page. It looks NOTHING like the picture on the box and, most annoyingly, the lock is absolutely impossible to open. Even the directions warn you that the lock is very difficult to open with the key. We're going straight out to buy a good old-fashioned diary. Shame on this company for promoting such a disappointing product!

                    Poor Quality
                    This book is not anything like what it showed on the box. I was hoping for a larger diary and the dimensions in the descriptions were mis-leading. The diary is not that large. The pages are thin like tissue paper. I plan to return this item. It's way overpriced. I have seen better quality at the "Everything's a $1.00" store!

                    The lock did not work.

                      No allowance of creativity
                      I was very excited to receive this scrapbooking set, but I was dissapointed in it. First off, the kit doesn't give kids (or anyone using it) enough creativity. All it really is, is telling you what to glue where, no real thinking or creative aspect involved. I would recomend just going to Joann's and picking up scrapbooking supplies to fit YOUR needs. This way you can guarantee you will put everything you buy to use and you can stay within your own budget.
