Review

Definitely NOT the usual assortment of basic supplies, these are whimsical things that pop with attention getting, vibrant colours and fabulous “I want to touch them” textures. Just looking at it all makes you want to grab the glue and scissors provided, then fold your box and decorate it with all the fabrics and papers, flowers, butterflies and ribbons, sequins and even feathers.

It's great that everything is provided - even scissors, quality Podge-style glue, and a foam  glue "brush". It does however, make the kit a little pricey, so that it really is a special occasion craft - perfect for a cherished gift. 

Tester Feedback

I could have made any type  of a box, but I like the idea to make a tooth fairy box.  I like that I had all my materials in one place, it was easy to stop and clean up.  I like that I can be creative and make the box whichever I want.  And the glue has glitter on it, it's like magic when it dries.  My box is now on the side of my bed, it's really beautiful. I have lost 2 teeth since I had my box and the tooth fairy seems to find my tooth easy. 

Magic in a box.  Great if you want to pick something up for vacation as it really does contain everything you need.  A little pricey otherwise especially as you generally have scissors at home already.  We loved the selection of odds and ends...unbounded creativity.  Wonderful idea.  Amy CharleChiu, Parent
