Light-Up Lantern

My daughter loved this it was a super first build for her.

Bought the lantern for my 8 year old who loves using the real camping lantern around the house. Daughter loved it and assembled it in about 15 minutes with no assistance.  She has been carrying it around at night since she built it. 

The final product looks exactly like the picture. My nephew (7) and I put this together over the Christmas holiday. He's a good reader and has the mind of an engineer, so assembly required only occasional adult intervention. I was more of an assistant and trash collector. He was so proud of his work!

A bit long, repetitive and tedious build for my almost 5 year old's attention span. She lost interest around half way through and I had to finish it for her (and I was tired building it too, tbh). Nonetheless, the instructions were easy to follow and the result was awesome. My daughters still play with it a few weeks later. I just wish the internal lantern's on/off switch was easily accessible from the outside without having to unscrew the jar each time.

This is a great little project! Loved it all. Bought two, one for each of my kids. Good challenge on the instructions for them and they loved the end result. Only complaint was that the entire project is essentially held together with foam stickers which sadly didnt stay stuck together for long once we hung the lanterns up. Had to use elders glue to keep together.

It was easy and fun but you have to open the whole jar to turn ON/OFF the light.... not for a practical use. 

Very cute lantern. My son loved building it and can use it when camping!

My 5 years old daughter built this lantern all by herself ( include reading the instructions), she loved every process and hanged this lantern on her Buddha pray room. 

Love that this is functional and nice to display! My 5 year old needed a little help putting it together but she enjoyed the process and was so excited to see it work!

Another fun project with my 4 year old daughter, I have been getting things above her recommended age because they seem more like things she would enjoy. This one was harder for her because  of how accurate you have to be with sticking the foam pieces around the holes so I had to help a bit more than I expected but it’s still a fun toy for her (: 

He really liked this project, we camp so he really enjoyed putting it together.  Great project.

Make-and-Play Fort

Well designed and sturdy enough for its intended purpose and so cool!! Our 3 year old LOVES it!

AWESOME!

My niece and nephew absolutely love this fort. The cannonball launcher can be attached to the fort, making lots of opportunity for fun. They hang out in it for hours! 

Love this fort!

Easy to assemble, great activity for some one on one time and group play or individual play later. 

Not as sturdy as imagined, but with some care shou

This fort is so much fun - we have repurposed as a restaurant, a photo booth, and other fun imagination games.  My only wish is that it were a little sturdier - the cardboard pieces seem like they might fall apart after awhile. if you have kids that like rough play, this may not hold up. 

So Much Fun 

We liked the size of the fort and the project was perfect for the intended age group. Could have used more velcro strips though.

Great size and perfect for target age group

Kids love this fort

It sucks I want a refund you put it together with tape and rubber bands

It sucks I want a refund you put it together with 

We all loved the fort, but were surprised by just how large it is.  We had to move furniture in the living room when we built it, and when it moved to Kaden's room, we ended up getting rid of some furniture.  I don't recommend this if you live in a very small apartment or house.

HUGE Fort!

This fort has already been reimagined into a puppet theater and a doctor's office to check up on their stuffed animals. It's great to see that my kids can enjoy continuous play with all 3 projects. The cannon had a great design but the adhesives could have been more sticky. Lantern was fun to construct and hang onto the fort.

Let your imagination run wild!

My kids loved putting the entire project together. The cannonball launcher shot the balls far and had very clear instructions. The kids wished the button on the lantern worked instead of unscrewing the jar to turn the light on or off, but it was still a fun project and my kids repurposed the lantern as a nightlight.

Really fun to put together!
