Product Description

Editorial Review

Horse-lovers will enjoy painting three wooden horses, which can be used as refrigerator magnets, hanging sculptures, window decorations, and toy figurines. The kit includes three 5-inch handcarved horses, nontoxic acrylic paints in five colors, shiny varnish, and a paintbrush. Each horse comes with a press-on magnet, hanging accessories, a suction cup (for window use), and a small gift tag. An easy-to-follow instruction sheet includes compelling facts about the history and nature of horses. Colorful photos on the box show horses in their habitats, serving as the artist's guide to authentic renditions. Children may want to give these items as gifts, use them to decorate their rooms, or simply use them in creative play. --Joan DeClaire

As a parent of two horse lovers, i found that it is hard to find a good horse gift/toy. This is really an exceptional kit. Our girl and boy painted the 3 horse carvings (they are 3 dimensional wood)with the paints. They attach the included magnet onto one and made ornaments with the other 2 for their grandparents with the gift tags included. the pamphlet was interesting and educational and the box has many horses to paint as reference. they loved it. the only suggestion i would add is to have another kit that is a "deluxe" version.

I bought this kit for my niece who is 11. She really enjoyed painting the horses as she loves horses and crafts, so the combination was fantastic. I think the kit is great fun for most children, but I was a bit surprised at how little there was to the kit. My only complaint is that these horses are very fragile and can be broken quite easily. She broke one of hers while painting it. Another was also broken right out of the box. I would recommend you keep that in mind when purchasing it. Make sure the kids are very careful with them, and you might want to inspect the box before giving it to them. All in all, a great craft kit in my opinion.

This kit is Great for any horse lover! I bought four of my children a kit for Christmas. Two girls and two boys, ages 5 to 14 years old, they all loved painting the horses. Would really like to see a delux version, because they have already painted all three horses that came in their kits. They used the pictures on the box for reference. They had a blast painting them, a couple were even given away as gifts on Christmas Day! Excellent Craft Set! Lots of FUN! I would recomend this item for any age group! If your child loves horses and painting they will ADORE this set!
