This piggy bank is much smaller than the 5 inches listed on the product dimensions. The box that it comes in is 5 inches tall and the little piggy bank is only 2 inches tall, barely large enough to hold 2 dollars worth of change. So think of it as a fun craft, but not as a useful piggy bank.

My kids; 3 and 7, love projects. This was perfect for them. They got to paint, re-paint, and paint it again until all the paint was used. It was a project success - it was easy, it had lots of paint, it still looked like a pig when finished, and yes, it could actually be used as a piggy bank after. There was pain of a lot of differant colors and some with sparkles (everyone loved that part). I also washed the pig once prior to the paint drying and had the the kidski paint it again!

We did't test how well the ceramic pig would hold up on a drop-test onto our stone floors.

The not so great. The pig is really small - a few inches at best. This didn't matter in the least to us.

If you want to create an heirloom, this may/may not be it. If you are looking for something fun to do, quick and easy, and can benefit from little supervision, this is a great one-time project.

This is practically useless as an actual piggy bank. It's tiny - not more than 2 1/2 inches from head to tail. Perhaps it would make a cute party favor or something, but even then - at this price, I don't know that it would be worth it.
