We bought this toy for our son for the holidays. He enjoyed designing his monster and it allowed him to use his creativity. However, when my wife carefully followed the iron-on directions it did not work. The iron-on body parts (eyes, mouth, etc.) either did not stick at all or only stayed on for a day or two. In the end she had to sew all the body parts onto the monster and it took at least two hours to do so.

My 8 yr old son and I made this kit several months ago, and I can't say enough good things about it. It was so fun for my son and he really enjoyed designing it himself. I helped a little with the cutting out (and the ironing, of course), but for the most part, it was his project. I was confused by the other review... We had no trouble ironing the felt pieces on and they have stayed on so far. My son even brought his finished monster into school to show his friends (so I'm sure it was handled a lot.) You do have to peel the paper backing off of the felt before you iron it on (this was a little confusing because the directions don't tell you either way and it doesn't clearly look like a paper backing.) You may have to leave the iron on a little more than the time listed, but for the most part, it was really easy. The finished product is so much more special than a stuffed animal you buy in the store!

My son was very excited about this arts and crafts project, but we simply couldnt get it to work. Having never done any iron-on felt activities before, we needed additional guidance that the instructions did NOT provide. Do you peel the paper backing off the felt or leave it on? If you peel it off, there is a slightly sticky part - does the sticky part face down or up? What kind of cloth do you put over the pieces during ironing? We tried a paper towel, a wash cloth, and finally a pillowcase When we first tried we couldnt get the pieces to stick AT ALL to the felt monster. I mean, not even a little bit. They stuck to the cloth, they stuck to the iron, but not to the monster. After a long struggle, we got some of the pieces to stick to the monster but most just refused to stick, probably because we compromised the glue already. In any case, my kid was quite sad that this didnt work, and I was frustrated. I am actually thinking of buying another and trying again because we both liked the idea so much. Oh yeah, and we ruined an iron which I know need to replace. Oh well.
