Turn paper cups into funny monsters.Fun to Make, Fun to Play With Not only is this collection of mini craft projects fun to make, but they are fun to play with, too. Make 4 silly masks for pretend play. There is a cow, owl, monkey and lion, all who wear little party hats. 4 funny fishy hats are made by sticking 2 brightly colored plates together with stickers. Put them on for an instant crack up. The 4 paper cups that you make into party monsters are as much fun to play with as they are to make.
Perfectly Designed For Preschoolers Each project has been especially designed to be made by kids ages 3 and up. Big chunky precut pieces are easy for little hands to hold and manipulate. The glue stick goes on purple, but dries clear so that kids can see where they’ve placed the glue for easy positioning. This makes the projects super easy and gives young kids a feeling of pride that they can successfully complete the project themselves. Each craft is also small enough to be completed within a preschoolers’ short attention span.
Individually Packed Projects Make it Easy All the materials you need for each mini craft is packed in its own bag. No more searching around through the box to find all the pieces that you need. This also makes it very easy to share. Just pull out a bag and hand it to each child, or save some projects for tomorrow. The paper punch out sheets and stickers sheets are all printed with the final design so that the child can see which paper shapes and stickers go together if they do get mixed up.
What's In The Box? Includes oodles of stickers, precut paper shapes, 12 colored paper plates, 4 colored paper cups, chunky buttons, feathers, tissue paper, chunky glue stick and easy picture instructions.

Customer Reviews
I bought this craft kit for my son who is 4 years old. I was excited as the crafts looked really easy to make but visually exciting. My disappointment came after trying unsuccessfully to make the pieces stick together. We started with the cup monsters which did eventually stick with the glue stick provided and a lot of effort (by me - my son wouldn't have been able to make it stick down). However, the next craft we tried was the fish hat which was impossible to make the way they suggest in the instructions. The two paper plates that are supposed to stay together with stickers will not. Luckily I had a staple gun handy or I might have had a very unhappy little boy on my hands. We pressed on with the hat and the stickers still refused to stay down and the feathers kept coming off. They also omit to tell you how to attach the pipe cleaners to the top of the hat. Staple gun came in handy for that too.
Alex Little Hands usually make exceptionally high quality products, but they need to go back to the drawing board on this one.
I have purchased other Alex Little Hands crafts over the past year for my children (my son is almost 5 and my daughter is almost 2). We've really enjoyed them, so when I saw this I ordered it.
When it came, my son instantly wanted to make a paper cup monster. It's a cute concept, but the glue provided (as mentioned by other reviewers) is pretty much worthless. My little boy got frustrated when things didn't stick, and he'd have to use more glue and hold it for a while to get the pieces to stay. This doesn't work well with impatient, small children, so make sure to have your own glue handy.
My daughter wanted to make a fish hat with Daddy, and that worked out okay, but again we had issues with the glue, and the stickers just weren't strong enough to hold it together. The hat turned out really cute and my daughter loved it once my husband got out some other glue to work with.
Basically this kit is comprised of colored paper cups and colored paper plates with some round stickers, some light weight poster board pieces for arms and other features, and other pieces for decorating. It also comes with a glue stick, which I would immediately replace. It would be pretty easy to make these items yourself, and probably for less money. This kit seems pretty expensive for what you actually get, although it does have projects that my 2 year old and 5 year old really enjoyed.
