4.0 out of 5 stars My 5-year old loves showing off her artwork!, October 4, 2008

My daughter received this for Christmas, and could not WAIT to get started decorating it. The kit came with quite a bit of crafting/scrapbooking supplies, so she was able to get started right away. The designs fit into pockets on the inside of the umbrella, and are relatively protected from the weather. She loves making new designs to put in the pockets, and uses everything from construction paper to feathers to sequins to photos of she and her friends. She even used some of the left over wrapping paper from Christmas for a while!

As for the umbrella construction itself, it is a clear bubble type umbrella like I had when I was a child (why can't you find these for adults?) It seems pretty sturdy, and has held up through very strong winds. The clasp that holds the umbrella open or closed is childproofed, so no chance of pinched fingers. There are pink polka dots and handle, so not quite appropriate for boys. My son would love to have one for himself in boy-colors.

If your daughter is crafty or artsy, this is a great item. I will be getting one to give as a gift.

(PS: tried changing FUN to 4 stars on my daughter's recommendation, but couldn't)

This was a great craft for my 5 year old daughter. After a year the umbrella has come apart where the spokes meet the plastic ends. The pictures do not stay secure in slots when the umbrella is carried upside down by handle. However somebody more crafty than myself could figure a way to make them stay. We've received many compliments on the umbrella.

We bought this umbrella for our daughter for Christmas. We loved the creative aspect of it and she had fun filling the slots with photos, drawings, etc... Unfortunately, it broke after ONE use! The sliding opening/closing device slid past where it should and made the umbrella unusable. We thought it was just a clunker so we bought another one and one for our daughter's friend's birthday. Today both girls brought the umbrellas to school and the same thing occurred to BOTH!!! Do not waste your money!!! Very disappointing.
