Little Hands Picture Mosaic, Multi Color

I purchased this at the same time as a typical sticky mosaics kit. (By typical I mean solid colored shapes that you place on a picture.) We tried the other kit first, and my daughter (almost 3) lost interest very quickly. She had a hard time telling what color was supposed to go where, and I guess it didn't look very different or interesting to her when she got some on. A few days later I convinced her to try this one. It was MUCH, MUCH better! Rather than purple squares and blue circles to place, all the parts have a picture that goes with the theme of the whole. We did the birthday cake, and she loved all the different colored sprinkle shapes, and had a much easier time figuring out where they are intended to go. She played with this for almost a whole hour in one sitting, which is a big deal at her age! I love that the finished picture actually looks different from the original. The other mosaic kit went from a flat monkey to a monkey with shapes on him, so the picture was not really improved. This is definitely the best mosaics kit for children I have seen!

I bought 2 sets of these: One for a typical not-quite 3 year old...he enjoyed them, as long as I did most of the "work" and he helped, but he lost interest quickly and it took about 3 separate "sessions" to complete one picture. Bottom line: He was a bit young. The other one was for a very advanced 3-1/2 year old. He loved doing the pictures, (I took the stickers off the backing and he stuck them on), caught on very quickly in determining which stickers went where, was quite good at placing them neatly over their marks, and all but completed each picture enthusiastically in only one sitting. Bottom line: He was a little older and more ready for this activity than the 6-month-younger boy. I will keep trying this craft activity with both boys. They can only get more proficient!

Me parecieron un poco caros pero mi hija los disfruto mucho así que valen la pena

Increíble actividad manual

I got this as a gift for my two year old daughter, she's almost 3. She absolutely loved it. It's way better than I imagined it being when I ordered it. The stickers are color coded with the photos so your child can tell where to place the stickers-aside from the shapes because some stickers have the same shapes, but different places on the photos. The stickers are gorgeous! The dirt for the flowers appears to be a real photo of dirt, as well as the petals, cake sprinkles, candles etc. It's eye-catching for both parent and child. You can teach shapes, colors and even imagine a story to go along with the photos while you're working on them. It's such an underrated little set. I would definitely recommend for all preschoolers and school aged alike. Boys and girls. It comes with enough pictures to fully satisfy. Each scene has their own set of stickers which are all individually packaged. She had a little trouble peeling the stickers off at first, but that's common for little ones and didn't interfere with her enjoyment.
