We purchased the Giant Art Jar Kit and found that the jar is mostly filled with colorful paper confetti, so that it looks like you recieved a lot of craft items. When you open it, and rifle through, you will find that the actual craft items only require the bottom quarter of the jar. We were disappointed.

I was greatly disappointed when my granddaughter opened the jar. 90% of its contents is shredded paper. There were only 10 sheets of paper, a few feathers, pipe cleaners, pompoms, popsicle sticks, and lots of sequins. There should be a lits of the items contained in the jar. I cannot understand how people could have given this item five stars. I would give it two (2).

this was a christmas present for my granddaughter. It was not exactly what was expected. It was kind of chinzy. Had lots of cut up tissue paper but not much else.

The art jar is a total waste of money. 90% of it is shredded paper which quite frankly a child can't do much with. I will use it to stuff gift bags. It shows projects on the outside but they certainly aren't projects you can do with the items in the jar. You are better off buying supplies at a craft jar and creating your own craft jar. It is stuff with about 15 pom poms, 5 pipe cleaners, rolled up thin colored paper, a small roll of streamers and a small bag of feathers. Plus a wad of shredded paper. Save your money!!

Sadly, at Christmas we got two arts and crafts gifts and we returned the Big Fun arts and crafts kit to the store before we opened this one. What a ripoff! If I need paper confetti in a big plastic tub, I could have cut up some tissue paper! The real art contents of this jar could be contained in a about two yogurt cups. What a ripoff!

This "art jar" is practically worthless. Sure, there are a few pieces of paper, a handful of pipe cleaners, and other miscellaneous goodies, but this jar, no kidding, was filled at least 2/3 full of shredded colored paper! My son was so disappointed.

This Art Jar is packaged beautifully, but once we got it home we realized that it was mainly shredded paper. Great idea, but very deceiving.

I must have missed the review on this, I guess, because it really is horrible. I cannot believe how much confetti is in it. I should have taken a picture! There are a few, and I mean few, small packages inside, and little else but confetti. This is usually an excellent craft company, so it's amazing that they do this.

I agree with other reviewers, this jar is filled with confetti. I wish I would have read the reviews before I purchased this. I was excited that it was eligable for free shipping because it wasn't before. So I just put it in my cart. I would rather have picked out things separately at a craft store..pretty junky.

As other reviewers stated, 80% of the jar is filled with paper confetti. The value of the included items is probably less than $10. That being said, my three year old son loved it - he didn't seem to notice that there wasn't that much included, but I had expected a lot more. It was very disappointing.
