What is not so great about this set is the end result. There are no pre-punched holes in the mermaids; instead they come with tiny cardboard stands that fit into a slot formed in each little piece. You're supposed to stand them up like tiny board game pieces when you're finished. The stand pieces are flimsy, don't fit well into all the slots, not all the pieces are balanced to stand up where the slot is located, and it's not much fun to play with once you've set them up, as they keep falling over. Would have preferred simply to have a hole pre-punched, to make jewelry or a tiny mobile or suncatchers out of the mermaids instead. At the very least, the stand pieces should also have been made of shrinkydink material so you could glue them solidly together. Meh.

these are a great toy for your 5-12 year old children. they really make a great effort to color them perfectly and are thrilled to see them after they have shrunk to such small toys! CAUTION these have to be warmed in the oven NOT a toy for the kids to do by themselves!
