Stores conveniently? I disagree.
The description states "stores conveniently". In my opinion, it is not convenient to have hundreds of beads in a shallow box with no lid. I really like Melissa and Doug toys, but lately I've been buying a lot of little storage containers for my various Melissa and Doug toys. It's getting expensive and time consuming. I just wish these things would come with a sliding piece of plastic or a cardboard box. Something to contain the contents. 2008-11-15
TONS of FUN
We recently gave this set to a family friend on her sixth birthday - they have raved about what fun it is! Both the little girls and her three year old brother have played with the beads and had a great time - it kept them occupied for a LONG time, too! Mom says it's great for dexterity and for learning shapes, colors, and letters. 2008-10-17

Excellent!
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. 2008-06-15
Great craft toy for 6 year old
This is a fantastic toy/craft. My 6 yr old daughter loves it. She has finished all the necklaces you can make. I would suggest the mfr. add more string for the necklaces. I will be getting more colorful string at the fabric store to use with the remaining beads. I highly recommend this as a gift for you child. 2008-03-03
