5.0 out of 5 stars So much fun! February 14, 2011

I just recently did my 1st make a plate with my 2 boys and my 3 nieces and it was so fun! The kids got to be creative and make something that moms and dads can keep forever, and I do mean FOREVER! I know several members of my in laws family have been doing make a plates for the last 20-25 years and they have a stack of about 10 plates that have been through rigorous use and through the dishwasher a ton and they still look great!

When the kit is purchased it comes with 1 free plate (you do have to pay a $3 processing fee) and then each additional plate that is purchased is $7.95 + $3 processing fee. The kit comes with enough supplies to make 5 different plate templates, just color your picture on the provided paper and mail away the designs. I will also add that when my 5 plates arrived, one of them had a bit of a blister on the top and I was worried that it might affect the durability. I called makit products and they were super friendly and very apologetic, she had a replacement sent to me in less than a week! Great customer service is always a plus!!! I highly recommend this project!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a good idea July 26, 2007

By S. Alexandroff

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 5.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

My son loves art so he loved doing the drawing. We sent off his design and in about 10 days (long enough for him to have forgotten about it) he received his plate in the mail. Every time he uses his new plate he smiles. We liked the toy so much we bought it for his friend's birthday gift - a good idea and good value.

2.0 out of 5 stars Jipped August 19, 2010

By Sarah

Of course they do not mention how you have to pay extra for shipping and handling and processing. It cost me a lot more. I would not have gotten it if I had known I had to pay 6 bucks per plate for processing (I have 3 children) plus 10 more dollars for shipping! It is not worth all the expense... I will not use this product again and I will beware of this companies products...
