  • Easy to Follow Instructions; Additional Reinforcement May Be Required if Used as Toy Afterwards
Style: Panda
This Yarnimals Panda is an entertaining kit for elementary aged students who enjoy crafting but require more fine motor skills to understand more difficult forms of needle crafts. It would make for a decent gift, especially for a birthday party where you are unsure of what the host would enjoy. However, if you intend on buying this for anyone older than age 10, I would recommend purchasing additional yarn and exploring methods of reinforcing each stitch (perhaps a slipknot stitch each loop). The provided yarn easily frays and creating a consistent loop can be frustrating, especially with the method outlined in the directions. The basic process outlined in the instructions is very simple to understand and grasp. After cutting a section of the yarn to the outlined size, you "hook" the yarn piece through the hole and continue on until the yarn runs out. This kit uses a crochet hook with an ergonomic handle; a great way to introduce younger children to holding and hooking yarn. There is a paper ruler on the directions so that if this kit is brought along on long trips, you do not need any additional tools. A practice heart latch is also included and can be placed inside of the completed animal or kept separately as a keychain. By all accounts, this is an easy craft and brings back the classic "latch rug" projects, in a unique and engaging form. Instead of just a display piece, this can be played with after creation if a more secured form of looping is utilized. The level of enjoyment really depends on the person completing this craft. If they are very interested in projects of this sort, they will be entertained for a long time by this kit. However, if the person receiving this gift is prone to frustration or has very little interest in crafting, they may opt to give up when the yarn frays or the loops begin to pull out. ... show more

  • More Difficult than I thought
Style: Penguin
The idea is cute and maybe sometime we will make it but it’s too difficult for my 8 year old and usually she is really good at crafty things. I got frustrated as an adult and gave up.

  • Not latch hook, not easy, not durable
Style: Penguin
I thought this was going to be so cute, but it's actually awful. It's not a "latch hook" craft at all. It does include a hook, but it's a small crochet hook, not a latch hook. The yarn is also not cut into small pieces, and you aren't asked to do so. There's no color guide printed or indicated on the penguin's body. There are a lot of the small holes, so using the printed guide on the instructions and counting the holes is tedious, frustrating, and nearly impossible. You are supposed to pull the yard through the square holes and form loops. There is nothing to hold the loops in place, and they are all connected! One wrong move, and some or all of the loops you have already made will be gone with a domino effect. You have to judge/decide for yourself how long to make the loops -- a very subjective thing to entrust to a kid. You or the kid will probably want the figure to be identifiable at the finish, and loop length will affect that, too. You're also working on a 3D form, making the loops close-up, one-by-one. So getting the loops even is not easy, even for an adult. And, since they are actually big strings of connected loops, you cannot even trim them like you would with a traditional latch hook craft. Also, you need to make sure you don't make the loops too big because you could potentially run out of yarn! The yarn is not a good quality/type for this project, and it is too thick for the included hook. It gets pierced easily, and just falls apart when that happens. It's also difficult to pull the thick yarn through the tiny, inflexible holes. If you put the plastic "practice" heart inside the penguin, there's a chance it will catch on the yarn, and destroy your work. Even if something pulls on one of the loops from the outside, your loops can be destroyed. Overall, this is not the fun kit I expected. Even though the body form is decent quality, and the completed project should be cute, getting to that point takes a lot of work and I predict there will be more tears and anger than smiles and laughter by kids trying to make this penguin. ... show more

  • suitable for older kids
Style: Panda
The kit comes with everything you need to create your very own stuffed panda. This kit encourages creativity and imagination. But it is a little bit hard for small kids and requires patience. Some of the instructions were a bit unclear, and it took a bit of trial and error to figure out some of the steps. ... show more
