I accidentally ended up ordering two boxes of birds, but who cares? You can't have too many birds, and this kit had lots of my favorites. They're fun for adults as well as children, and were exceptionally easy to stitch together. I had no problem with removing the backing from the larger adhesive pieces, but the eyes were impossible. That, however, was an easy fix: get yourself some good fabric glue (the kind that you can use for rhinestones and that you should have in your sewing box anyway), put a dot down where you want the eye to go, place the eye on the dot (don't move it too soon), and everything's fine. This would make a terrific gift, but don't forget to give the recipient a tube of fabric glue LOL! Big bonus: while you will be sewing the birds, tree, and bird houses together with all six strands of embroidery floss in the giant plastic needle, you will no doubt end up with extra floss that you can use for other projects. One can never have too much embroidery floss.

This is the best craft kit I have ever purchased. I bought it as an activity for my grandkids. I got it out today for fun with a six year old granddaughter. She loved it!! I was so surprised by the exceptional quality. There are many, many birds included. Each one has its individual parts packaged neatly in a cellophane wrapper. No searching through a mass of pieces to find what you need, and each bird has its own instruction sheet. The felt is sturdy and colorful. Die cuts are absolutely, spot on, accurate. Needle holes are evenly spaced and cleanly cut. You receive a package of full skeins of embroidery floss in multiple colors - way more than you actually need. The birds, birdhouses and tree are a nice size, perfect for little hands. (See photo for relative size laid out on a one inch square grid.) In the end a six year old was able to do most of these on her own. Younger children would need more assistance but could still enjoy this craft. If you are an adult and need some cute birds to decorate a classroom or Sunday School room, this would be perfect. The entire kit is packaged to make it perfect for a group project. Five large plastic needles are included. There is even a child safe scissors, although an adult cutting the floss with a sewing scissors would work out better! Only one improvement is needed: As many have stated, it is really difficult to remove the backing to adhere the wings and other stick on felt pieces to the body. If you aren’t very careful you will remove the adhesive. I was unable to come up with a good trick that would work for this. But once you are successful the adhesive itself is firm and tight. You just have to be patient in finding a spot to lift the backing. A child cannot do this part.

Great for my 7-year-old. I used it for her birthday party. You’ll have to match the pics/directions for each dog to the materials. I highly recommend doing this and threading the needles before passing it out to a group of kids. (I bought extra needles). You’ll also want glue on hand. The stickers were plenty sticky, but some of them were impossible to remove from its paper backing and so they needed to be glued onto the dog. Overall, highly recommend! The kids loved it and they all came out so cute! Great value and quality!

We used these for children in the library for a summer program. The children loved learning to sew - to tie knots, to create stitches and to have an adorable final product. One thing we didn't know, (although if you look at the instructions before you start, you would know ;), was that any branch or big leaf is NOT a stick-on. Those actually need to be incorporated into the sewing as you go along. If this is too complicated for the child (as it would be for many beginners), you can always stitch those on separately afterward. Our only real problem in the assembly was that the white paper on the stick-ons is REALLY hard to get off, even with fingernails, even for an adult! I hope the manufacturer can work on this to make them more child-friendly. Otherwise, it's a really wonderful kit. All parts were present and there was sufficient stuffing and thread for everyone. One thing to note: there are only FIVE needles but EIGHT sloths. It would be worth a few extra cents to include one for each sloth.

This came quickly and my great nephew loved it! We have a lot of sewers and quilters in our family and he wanted something to work on himself. This was perfect!

Easy to follow instructions and cute final product. I had my family help make some over thanksgiving so I could make a cute garland for my baby’s nursery. Great craft for adults during the holidays!

Grandkids loved this! Maybe need to be at least 7 or 8 to do without constant assistance, but a lot of fun.

My granddaughter (7 years) loved these. Was able to make them with a little help. We'll worth the price.
