Fun rainy day activity! Our newly four year old needed some help doing the project, but did enjoy doing it! It’s a cute idea and the story line with the names of the animals really connected my daughter to it. We definitely weren’t able to get our animals as cute looking as the animals in the pictures, but I think an older child would have no trouble. My four year old also didn’t notice or mind. We needed to add an extra dollop to stick the legs to the body to stabilize the giraffe which isn’t mentioned in the directions. Again, I think an older child would have done a better job on the legs or have an easier time keeping track of the legs, but our daughter would lose them so we attached.
We had some trouble getting it to work initially because we use rechargeable batteries, and I wasn’t sure how long it took to warm the plastic so I wasn’t sure if it was going to work. Turns out our batteries just weren’t fully charged. I would have loved if they stated in the directions how long to expect before it worked or if they stated that a green light would come on when it was ready. This isn’t really an issue likely if you’re using regular brand new batteries.
Overall, it’s a fun little toy and we are focused on some fine motor skills (like using scissors) at this age, so it was a nice new way to improve those skills!
