With six plus inches of fallen snow and frigid temperatures outside, what better time for Faber-Castell to deliver their very own Unicorn Purse Craft to my door step. Emily and Charlotte were beyond thrilled to find out that this craft was none other than a "favorite" themed craft. Whether it is on a shirt, on a lunch box, a toy to play with or a craft, unicorns are quite popular among girls in the age 4 to 9 range.
After opening the box and pulling out all of the pieces, the girls went right to town creating the purse. I had originally wished I had one for each of them, but it was so nice seeing them work together and taking turns making the purse. When the last sticker was placed for decoration, both girls proudly posed with the final product.
4 Reasons Why you Should Purchase The Faber-Castell Unicorn Purse Craft For
Your Pre-K to School Aged Child
- Directions are Easy to Follow- 3 1/2 year old Charlotte and 6 year old Emily were able to follow just about all directions independently. The only assistance with instructions occurred around using the foam threader to thread the mane and the tail. The girls used the stickers creatively to complete their own "one of a kind" unicorn purse.
- Excellent Fine Motor Practice- The buttoning, snapping, and knotting of the yarn were great practice for Charlotte who is actively working on these tasks as a preschooler. The girls took turns with the buttoning and snapping.
- No Mess/No Sew- I have to say that I am usually a sucker for the messy crafts. My motto is "The messier the better." However when I had a chance to pull out this cool craft where I didn't have to gather random supplies, (everything you need comes with the kit) the clean-up literally took 10 seconds, and the girls had a blast making it, this made me realize the true value of "no mess" crafts.
- Fun and Functional Activity- Not only did the girls have a great time decorating the purse, but they then filled it with small toys and knick-knacks to bring with them on a little road trip they were taking in the afternoon.
So the next time your little ones are looking for a fun, mess free craft check out Faber-Castell online, on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This unicorn purse is just one of many created by Faber-Castell.
I received this craft for free to facilitate my review. However all opinions expressed are my own.
