I like to think of myself as a generally creative person. However, I have tried my hand at sewing and was less than successful. I was intimidated by the Creativity for Kids Designed by You Fashion Studio but was excited to try my hand at designing anyway.
CHECK PRICEUnboxing the fashion studio set was very simple. After I opened the box, I simply removed the plastic covering and there were all my pieces. There was plastic wrapped around many of the pieces, including the needles, fabric, and thread. Once opened there was a lot included in this set. Just some of the pieces included were: a small fabric form for building your creations, several pieces of fabric, fabric swatches, three different colors of thread, ribbons, needles, pins, a sketchbook, scissors, and a needle pillow/bracelet.
The instruction booklet was really helpful when starting with the Creativity for Kids Designed by You Fashion Studio. I was really impressed with how it walks you through learning to draw your designs and walks you through the design process. The sketchbook has some starter designs for you to look at and several blank pages. There are several pieces of fabric to choose from, but the great part of the set is that you have all the tools and would just need to add ribbon, fabric, or thread of your choosing.
I really liked the sketchbook, different colored markers, and the small form. I think the details on the set really showed the quality, and I really enjoyed it.
The needle pillow bracelet was rather small. Since this set is marketed for a large range of ages (including adults) I would have preferred this be a little more adjustable. I have smaller wrists and I still found it uncomfortable to wear.
The Creativity for Kids Designed by You Fashion Studio is for players of all ages. The box says 9-99 years so this set really is for everyone. The biggest consideration for me as a mom would simply be making sure my child was responsible enough to keep track of all the needles and the scissors.
The quality of this fashion studio set was very high. I really liked this set a lot. I may not be good at drawing, designing, or sewing, but I think this set is a really good starting point. Also, the playtime with this really doesn’t have a limit. The fabric swatches and included material may run out, but small pieces of material like that cost next to nothing at most craft stores. I also think this set would be a great springboard for learning how to create your own clothing.

Hair chalk is a fun way to change your hair color on a very temporary basis for fun events. The ALEX Spa Hair Chalk Salon is a kit built for giving you multiple options for color and fun hair styles. I like the idea of this kit but the chalk made my hair feel terrible!

As a child, I loved toys that allowed me to create; and I think my parents loved toys that made the creation process take all afternoon. The AquaBeads Beginners Studio Playset is a great set if you’re looking for a toy that fits that bill. This set allows imagination, creativity, and it isn’t something that […]

American Girl is really good at making high quality toys. Their crafting kits are some of the best I have had the chance to play with. The American Girl Ultimate Crafting Kit had an overwhelming amount of things to do and I can’t wait to accomplish them all.

Crafting is a favorite hobby of mine, and kids crafting kits are some of my favorite toys. I was able to create my very own custom candle with Rachels Art Candle Making Kit and I highly recommend such a craft time. Even if the wax is unscented.
