My 5yo that I got it for absolutely loves this! And so does her 7yo brother! They aren't able to finish off the potholders yet, as they don't have the dexterity for that. There are two down sides to this Alex Loop and Loom.1) It just doesn't have enough loops, so I'll have to buy new loops. She's only on her third potholder. The first was pink and dark blue, and the second was yellow and light blue. After just that, she's already almost out of the blues and yellows, but seems to have a lot more of the pinks left. I wish this had come with a lot more loops!2) These potholders are not heat resistant. You can use them for decoration, to go with other toy kitchen accessories, or to make the really cute crafts pictured on the box. I will definitely make sure that the next batch of loops I get is heat resistant. Searching for the best deal on cotton loops.
