Woodland Animals Craft Kit

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.

Adorable kit that my 5 year old loves. Great quality and so many cute birds! This is a great gift idea for any crafty kids in your life.

Great craft idea for kids 7 years old and up. My grandkids were all able to do it independently with very little help. Stuffies turned out great. Went together perfectly with all holes matching up. Good quality fabric provided. The only negative is that the pieces that are applied after sewing is completed do not stick very well. These pieces need a stronger type of glue adhesive so that they do not pop off. Still rate them a five star.

I got this for the kids I work with and it was a big hit! They are older 12 - 16, so if you are looking for ways to get a tween/teen off their phone/consoles you should try these. Both my girls and boys liked the process, especially since the items came pre cut and with punched holes. Beginner friendly and such cute options. It also comes with instruction packets for each sewing project which is a plus, none of my kids used it but it is good to have the option. I will note that the needles are a bit too big for the holes, mainly the eye of the needle. I know it is so it's easier for beginners to thread the needle, but because of the size you have to use a little force to get it through the holes. Also the adhesion for the accessories is weak on some of them. Some had a strong hold and others fell off even when we laid a heavy object on it to get a good seal. Also the sticker you need to peel off is a bit difficult to get off on many of them. However I still recommend them! *I also bought the arctic version and my thoughts on both were the same*

They are so cute. Good for a first project. Easy to use. Fun!

Wonderful kit. Can easily be used with groups, as each dog is packaged individually. The scissors aren’t the best though. Even appropriate for teens.

This was a gift for a 7 year old and she loved it, she needed a little help or guidance. The birds are very pretty and sweet.
