Purchased for my 12 year old grand-daughter to provide play time other than TV or video games. She learned this weaving-craft or "scoubidou" as she calls it, at school and Girl Scouts several years ago and thoroughly enjoys weaving the colored strands to make key chains or bracelets for family and friends. Very worthwhile and good for getting kids away from TV and electronic games. Would buy again.

This review is from: Alex Toys So Much Lanyard Kit (Toy)

The throw ins are nice, but the lanyard itself is garbage. For the record, it's scoubidou, not boondoggle, which is fine in itself. It's that this kit is garbage. As an aside, if you want actual boondoggle, the flat lanyard, Rexlace Plastic Lacing 200 Feet-Assorted Colors is what you're looking for.

The peices in this tube are unevenly dyed and blotchy. It looks like these were spilled on, didn't take the dye properly, whatever, making them unsuitable for sale. The peices are about 2 foot long, which is a problem given most pattern call for around 5 feet per peice and joining just isn't a good idea. The size sugests to me these are mill ends. If I had to guess, these were destined to be thrown out as junk; then someone got the great idea to package them all together as a tube of super junk and sell it.

If your kid wants to just make long runs of whatever and then throw it out, they'll enjoy this, but there are lower price, higher quaility alternatives out there. If your kid wants to make actual projects, they will be disappointed.
