""Santa" brought this to my six year old daughter and it has been a gift that keeps on giving! She quickly learned the basic stitches from the illustrations provided and made a cute little kitty from the pre-cut felt. She has gone on to make the dog, purses, pillows and doll beds all creatively embellished with the felt cut outs and buttons, also included with the kit. Our neighbor, who is two years older, made the elephant out of our kit then went home to beg for her own. The orange case is sturdy enough to store sewing supplies long term and fun enough that it's also been a doll suitcase and a picnic basket. This kit continues to come out for play time and my daughter is wonderfully, creatively engaged. Well worth the money."
