My daughter received this kit as a gift (she is 3 and a half). She really enjoyed making these with me. Everything is included, and each girl (and her parts) are individually bagged, which is good, because you can just make 1 at each sitting. She likes looking at them, and sort of plays with them.

Our daughter received this on her 5th birthday from her sitter. Together they spent the next few days creating all four dress up dolls. It was a fun activity for them that kept them busy for days as they created a doll a day. The dress up girls are sturdy and the pieces that make up the outfit are really cute and well thought out. And because of the quality of the dolls, after the dolls have been created, they can be used as decorations for a girls room - rather than simply discarded as happens with many *crafts*.

From all the very positive reviews, I was ready to love this set. My 3.5-year-old daughter enjoys crafts, and she was excited when she received this set as a present.

On the plus side, the set is very cute, and I like how each doll is separately packaged with its own accessories. On the negative side, the instructions for the assembly of some of the accessories are not clear, such as making a paper flower with a doily, and it's definitely beyond the ability of a preschooler. However, my main complaint is that the pieces don't stick particularly well. It's frustrating to glue something, to have it keep falling off repeatedly. It especially takes away from the playability of the dolls once they're decorated.

We've only worked on the first doll so far. We'll try using stronger glue for the remaining dolls, so hopefully that will solve at least one problem, so my daughter can play with them more easily.

My almost 3-year-old daughter and I enjoyed making these craft projects. Actually she wanted to make all of them at once, so I should stop her.;) But only one thing bothered me. The four girls should be different, but mine had two same girls, which means one girl was missing. My daughter wasn't even bothered but I was a little annoyed when I found out about it. So if you recieve this, look for them closely if all four "different" girls are included before you make anything first.

My three year old has loved all the Alex Little Hands Craft kits (we've had several), but this one was her favorite! She loved making each girl and we loved that each of them took her a while to create! Great kit!!

My daughter got this as a gift & I now buy it for other girl's all the time! Love it! And it comes with everything you could possibly need.

My three year old daughter loves this! The package contains four self-contained projects. The glue is strong enough so that things stick to the dolls. No complaints.

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loved this art project. She wanted to do them all at once. She called them her friends for the next couple weeks and would walk around the house with them. You'll definitely need to help if your child is under 4, but it was a lot of fun. Word of advise, get some sticky glue dots since the glue stick doesn't work for some of the heavier items like purses.

My 4-yr -old loved this activity. It comes with 4 paper dolls about a foot tall. I like it b/c the parts are big enough for little fingers to grasp. We received them as a gift and then bought some for gifts too. Great product and nice for a family with more than one kid since there are 4 dolls in one box. Have fun!

For any child who loves crafts, this is a great toy. The dolls are much larger than I thought they would be, and make for a very fun creative play.
