my 5-year-old daughter sits and works on these things for long periods of time and really enjoys doing them; I like the fact that they aren't messy like other art projects, i.e. paint. The stickers come off and then stick back on if you make a mistake.

My daughter loves art projects and I thought this would be perfect for her. It is exactly as it's described- a bunch of multi-colored square foam stickers that correlate with numbers on cardboard-like "sticker by number" pictures of fairies. The trouble is, it's not really an "art" project but rather a following directions exercise. You can change the colors to suit your taste but you might not be left with enough colored squares (mosaics) to finish all the other pictures. Since each square has to be carefully peeled off from the backing, my 4 year old grew frustrated. Fine motor coordination is a must for all that peeling. My hands started to hurt after awhile. In the end, she lost interest and we probably won't finish it for some time. I think this is suitable for older kids who can't really draw but love art and fairies and want the end product. If you're a true artist, it's all about process- this kit fell short.

We own 2 of these---Amazon has a decent price compared to the specialty stores that sell them for $25. This is great for kids 4+, maybe 3--I have one for my 5 & 8 yr old, they can work on it a little or a lot. Peel and stick the little blocks that coordinate with the numbers and you have a beautiful picture. Great gift!

My six year old daughter had a blast which is no small feat as craft projects usually only keep her entertained for a total of five minutes!!! It has been a lifesaver for rainy days and because each of the four included fairies takes a minimum of an hour for little hands to complete, it was also a sanity saver for me! I was extremely impressed how intently focused she became on matching the tiles to the correct number. I would definitely recommend ANY sticky mosaic project and look forward to getting our next set!

My girls love the sticky mosaics!(ages 6 and 4.) They sit on a chair together and work on it and the page is very pretty when they are finished. It is also something they feel is an accomplishment because it takes a long time to do. I'm buying two more boxes for Christmas!

Loved this for my 7 year old daughter. Very easy to do, but peeling tabs does get tedious so we did it over a number of days. Pictures come out beautiful.

I picked up one of these kits at a thrift store in my town. it was brand new and unopened. My daughter is 4, and even though the kit was for 8+, she enjoyed every minute of working with it. At first she needed a little help on corresponding the colors to the numbers, but then she got the idea and was really enjoying creating her first sticky mozaic picture! It took her about an hour and a half to complete a large fairy picture and she was so proud of the result!
It is a wonderful activity for kids, please do try it!

My 6 year-old loves it! She can easily do it all by herself and it looks beautiful! Pleasantly surprised with the ease!

So disappointed!! My 5 year old niece loves Mosaics. But this one was missing many of the foam tiles. There are supposed to be solid colors and sparkly tiles. None of the solid color tiles were in the box. Didn't discover missing pieces till first picture started. How do you explain to a 5 year old that you her a brought a defective gift?

My 6 year old daughter received this for Christmas and had 1 fairy completed in about an hour. She loves doing them and is already asking for more for her birthday.
