These are great, come a sturdy wooden box and it a great big kid little kid sharing "show me" toy.

I got these for my niece, she’s nearly 6 and loved them. She is learning to read now and it was great to see her sounding out names and putting the letters together to spell them on the necklaces. It’s evident that she’ll be playing with these for a while as she discovers that you could actually load up the strings instead of having only a couple of beads in the middle. That said: you might want to get some extra beading string right off the bat; we were out in a very short time with lots of beads left in the box. The beads are sturdy, cute and easy to put on the strings. The box has a nice lid and keeps everything organized and easy to put away.

Great starter beading for young ones. Much more durable then the plastic ones and the strings with the covered ends make it easier on Mommy!

The beads are just the right size for little hands, the box is great for storing the beads and string, and there is friction between the wood beads and the round-shoelace-type string so the beads stay on the string. This is a great toy. The box is less than an inch high so it is friendly to those of us with small homes.

I bought this one for my nephew. When I told my kids, they protested because they mistakenly thought that I had given theirs away.

Only problem: It is slightly tricky to get everything back in the box so that it closes. It is not too bad though.

Overall - I highly recommend this toy. I plan to keep it for my grandkids when my kids are done with it.

I purchased this to go along with Melissa And Doug Decorate Your Own Jewelry Box….and, it is wonderful. Allows creativity and pride in making something that is their very own! So cute, a lot of variety and durable. Melissa and Doug products are so long lasting and promote individuality and creativity.

 

Picking Party Favors For Your Event

Posted by admin on June 7, 2009

Many hosts find that they have a hard time deciding on the right party favor to give out at their party. Sometimes they just can?t decide on the party favor they like best, sometimes the ideas just fly out of their heads when it comes time. There are also a lot of in-between problems that can cause small annoying difficulties with picking out party favors.

Its best to peruse the many different kinds of party gifts there are, so that you have the most information at your disposal when you make your choice. There are lots of party favors out there. You?ll find simple items like personalized pencils, pens, beads and glow sticks are cheaper, but they aren?t very big and won?t fill in a loot bag very much. Other gifts like wrap around sunglasses and fuzzy dice work well for a summer event while being of a good size for a party favor. Then there are the larger party favor items. These are the feather boas, and party hats of the party gift arena.

Guests just love the whole loot bag idea because they get lots of little items that kind of add up to one big item. You can also save money by putting together a loot bag, because it?s easy to fill with mostly candy or cookies. Mix up the loot bag selection a little by filling the loot bags with different kinds of items or with items in different numbers.

Also pick out party favors that match up with your party theme. If you are having a casino parties then get some decks of cards and dice to put in your guests bags. A Halloween party or Fourth of July party loot bag can benefit from the addition of glow sticks, bracelets, and necklaces. Even the bag that your favors go into can match up with the theme. Black or orange for Halloween, and Red, White or Blue for Independence Day.
