A really nice gift but...
"I loved the packaging and the name of this art jar. It is filled with lots of fun crafty stuff however there was too much shredded paper filling so it's only about half filled with arts and crafts and the rest is colorful shredded paper."

"I liked the art jar, but found it came with a little too much of the shredded paper and not enough of the other things. It is a good purchase, but I expected a little more of the other items."

Crafty Idea for Crafty Projects
""Santa" brought this to my daughter last year when she was almost 5. Together, we made all kinds of cute puppets, birthday cards and she made many random cutesy art projects. The only issue we've had was getting things to fit back in the jar from time to time when cleaning up. But the fun this Art Jar has produced has definitely outweighed that. She enjoyed making things from the book of ideas that come with it as well as creating her own arts and crafts. This would also be a great birthday gift for their friends or cousins! : )"

So much fun!
"I bought this for our daughter last Christmas, and it has lasted through a year of fun crafting! It is a one stop shop of craft supplies. Our biggest craft was an alphabet wall, we had all the supplies we needed in the jar. Great purchase, I will buy another when my youngest reaches preschool age."

Love love love
"This is an awesome gift. My 4 year old LOVES this and it is fun to see him get creative. It is great for rainy days or cold days. He likes to just mushle through everything and then he gets inspired and literally can sit for hours working with this. It is awesome and I buy it every year for Christmas gifts or birthday parties."

Looks great but..
"it is mostly shredded paper. There are only a few unique things in the jar. I was disappointed because it looked so great on the outside. I ended up throwing all the paper away because it was just making a mess."

full of possabilities :)
"My daughter really enjoyed the variety of art supplies in this jar. I had to help her come up with ideas, but afterwards she had fun trying to use up as much of the pom-poms as she could on every project. Nice to refill when you run out of one of the items too quickly."
