CiyvoLyeen Wild Birds Sewing Craft Kit Animal Sewing Kit for Boys and Girls Beginners Set of 12 Sewing Projects Gift for Kids

This is the best craft kit I have ever purchased. I bought it as an activity for my grandkids. I got it out today for fun with a six year old granddaughter. She loved it!! I was so surprised by the exceptional quality. There are many, many birds included. Each one has its individual parts packaged neatly in a cellophane wrapper. No searching through a mass of pieces to find what you need, and each bird has its own instruction sheet. The felt is sturdy and colorful. Die cuts are absolutely, spot on, accurate. Needle holes are evenly spaced and cleanly cut. You receive a package of full skeins of embroidery floss in multiple colors - way more than you actually need. The birds, birdhouses and tree are a nice size, perfect for little hands. (See photo for relative size laid out on a one inch square grid.) In the end a six year old was able to do most of these on her own. Younger children would need more assistance but could still enjoy this craft. If you are an adult and need some cute birds to decorate a classroom or Sunday School room, this would be perfect. The entire kit is packaged to make it perfect for a group project. Five large plastic needles are included. There is even a child safe scissors, although an adult cutting the floss with a sewing scissors would work out better! Only one improvement is needed: As many have stated, it is really difficult to remove the backing to adhere the wings and other stick on felt pieces to the body. If you aren’t very careful you will remove the adhesive. I was unable to come up with a good trick that would work for this. But once you are successful the adhesive itself is firm and tight. You just have to be patient in finding a spot to lift the backing. A child cannot do this part.

This product is well worth the money. It includes absolutely everything you need to complete each craft. Bold colors, birds are a perfect size, individually wrapped sets...wow! As a retired teacher I am often disappointed with the organization and quality of kits, but not this one. What a time and probably money saver, not any waste of materials.

I bought this for my 94 year old arthritic mother. She is an avid birdwatcher. It’s a great gift for young and old. My mother used to sew and do crafts but now her abilities are limited. This kit is perfect. The instructions are simple and easy to follow. The quality is excellent. She can complete a project in a day. It keeps her occupied and interested. It’s absolutely perfect. She loves it. It would be great for young children. We are hanging all her finished items on a branch near the window so she can see her work.

Pretty easy to construct, but artistic ability needed for these to look nice and not like a 2 year old made them. Take your time and set out all the supplies and you'll have fun and produce something beautiful.

Easy for a second grade student , good craft, very entertaining.

The attached pictures should give a good indication of contents (we're restricted on comments about packaging). The black marker numbers on the items indictate quantity. The 2nd picture shows you the difference in size between the Woodland Animals and this bird kit. The pros are the vibrant colors, quantity of items and scenery pieces like the bird houses and tree, and separate instruction booklets if more than 1 person is completing the kit.. Unlike the Woodland animals, these do not have those hard plastic ball screw eyes that need to be capped with a hard plastic plunger cover on the back of the shaft. These have glue on eyes.Cons: this bird kit has separate instruction booklets for each item rather than 1 comprehensive instruction sheet, so it could be easy to misplace 1 or more booklets. The instructions are minimal at best so you rely on the picture of the piece to place the small adhesive items. Ditto regarding the other comments regarding adhesive backed items: felt too firmly adhered to adhesive sheet so that you can inadvertantly tear felt pieces while trying to remove the backing. Also adhesive is variable at best, not constant with each item. Even some of the eyes were missing adhesive.mSince I sew, I always keep a small tube of fabric glue which remedies some of the stickiness problem for these pieces.. You can still get a small tube of fabric glue at Walmart for $1, usually located on wire shelving at the end of one of the craft/ fabric aisles with other dollar items like tape measures or variety needle packs. I revised my rating after finally completing the kit due to adhesive issues. Pointers: for those hard to separate pieces from the paper backing-carefully pick at the edges with your nails all around the stubborn piece until you find a spot where the release is easier, usually at corners or pointed areas, the carefully separate. Keep the plastic bags to store each individual thread with any cut pieces to keep them together-dont forget the circular tab with a number on its because it's the dye lot for the color if you need to get more for another project. Hang onto the adhesive sheets where you removed parts, you may need it to repair or replace an item. I lost a beak for one bird but I was able to create a new one with the pieces I saved. Also with the remaining adhesive stencil skeletons, try creating a collage for a new project

A high-quality craft my grandchildren really enjoyed putting together.

I liked these sewing kits for kids. Wow. They come already organized in individual cellophane baggies with instructions - both visual and verbal. I'm teaching sewing classes to kids ages 4 on up and I also run a preschool program. I'm going to use these and order more! I purchased the forest animals, birds, puppies. Oh my gosh they're beautiful. Can be used for hand sewing and machine sewing. Comes with plastic safety needle, kid scissors, and all the details you see on the designs. This is a winner!
