We recently received the Snap Fashion Jewelry Studio for review. My 10-year-old daughter always enjoys a good craft kit, and this one was no exception.
Actually, that may not be entirely true . . . I think this kit IS an exception, simply because she loved it so much! It took her no time at all to decide that this kit was something pretty special and she quickly created all the included “snaps” using the material provided. Then, she started making up ideas in her head of other things she could create using this kit; and she’s been carrying the accompanying book around with her for days, just perusing it and chatting about it!
We even went out and bought extra material for her to use on the snaps. AND, she raided her dad’s closet for an old tie and swiped a scarf from her older sister – all to feed her addiction to this kit! She enjoyed sharing her creations with my mom the other day – showing off the things she has created. It’s been fun to watch her excitement.
But, alas, the kit is all used up. We searched online for a refill kit to no avail. So, I e-mailed the company, asking if such a kit is available. I got a very prompt reply (I e-mailed over the weekend and heard back from them first thing Monday morning). They are currently working on developing refill kits. That put a smile on Gracie’s face.
One con to this kit is the circle template that is included. It’s hard plastic and snaps onto the bottom of the “snap maker”. However, ours went missing the first day and we have yet to find it. We easily created a new one with cardstock; but, obviously ours isn’t as nice or as durable. I wish it would have been something that would have fit into the little “pockets” on the top of the product, rather than on the underside.
