Alex Felt Picnic Review

I bought this for my almost six year old. I wanted to get her some play food for her kitchen and thought this was a great choice. She needs some help from me but not too much that it feels like my project. I would recommend this to anyone with a child about her age - not too much younger.

Alex Toys Sew Fun Review

We got this sewing machine for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas. The kit comes with materials to make a skirt and a handbag. We have done the handbag, and my daughter had fun doing it. She felt a great sense of accomplishment sewing her own bag! I did help her through the project though. This is definitely an item that requires some adult supervision (and patience!) depending on the age of the child. I would not buy this for a child any younger than 8 or 9. My 10 year old is young enough that she can have fun with it, but old enough that she can grasp the basic concepts of sewing and using a machine. I had to go step by step with her through the directions, but the included patterns are not overly challenging. I am somewhat experienced with a sewing machine, so someone with little to no experience might find this toy a nuisance. Overall, the machine itself seems well made and easy to use. It comes with a foot pedal and power supply. My only complaint is that there is no light. Even in a well lit room, we found it difficult to see our work area. I found a desk lamp in the basement and we had to set that up next to the machine. Overall, a fun toy for an older child.

Alex Toys My First Sewing Kit Review

This is a nice introduction to sewing for about ages 5 to 9. The project ideas are pretty cute and the fabric and trims are colorful, so most kids will be excited about making the stuffed animals and the bag, at least. (We didn't have a book of the correct size for the book cover project, but used the fabric for something else.) The projects aren't too complicated for beginning sewers but are neat enough to interest a (slightly) more experienced young seamstresses. My one criticism is that the scissors are just toys, and do not cut at all, and the "thimble" is also pretty useless if your child really needs to push a stitch through.
