Simfunso Friendship Bracelet Making Kit, Toys for Girls Ages

Currently priced at 14.99. I opted for this as I used to make friendship bracelets when I was younger using embroidery threads and found it very relaxing. It was very simple in those days though – threads attached to my school tights or skirt with a safety pin and only one knot design!! I thought I’d like to do it again and develop my knots as a mindfulness activity and this kit provides a board and step by step instructions as well. It comes with threads, stickers, and elastic which can all be kept in the peg board. It’s well made, good for a Christmas or birthday gift and fun but I’ve dropped a star because it is for age 6+ and I found the instructions quite tricky! Having had a go at making the first bracelet in the book I’m actually not sure from the instructions whether I should have used elastic or coloured thread as the starting point! I think it is also probably quite fiddly for a little one. I’d say it would likely need adult help to make the bracelets depending on the child’s age and I’ve started with a fairly simple design compared to some of them! Overall though I’m looking forward to using it with my embroidery threads and with some patience and help kids will be able to make fun bracelets for themselves, friends and family. I think based on the quality of the kit it is fairly priced but instructions could be better in my view. You do need scissors and glue and they’re not included.
