This stamp has alot of beautiful asain designs and motifs. I haven't seen too many asian influenced stamps with a large background stamp included. The bamboo and cherry blossoms are my favorite and I have used them several times. I purchased this block along with Inkadinkado Clear Acrylic Stamp Block Extra Large 6 x 6. They work well together. Because of the block design the large background stamp fits perfectly or I could arrange the other stamps together to create a "single" stamp. You must take care the first time removing the stamps from the clear sheet it is attached to. The stamps are adhered pretty tightly. If you remove them too quickly you may rip the stamp. After removing for the first time, all subsequent usage is fairly easy. Don't throw away the plastic sheet it comes with because you can re-use them to store your stamps. The stamps clean-up nicely with just a little warm water and drying. The stamps retain there "stickiness" even after several washes. I've used these stamps in my mixed media art work, thank-you and birthday cards, ATCs, etc. The simple asian designs and beautiful caligraphy are perfect for many types of applications. I used the following ink after researching a little online: Tsukineko Full-Size Memento Fade Resistant Inkpad, Tuxedo Black. It worked well for me but any ink you typically use would probably work just as well.

I love the simplicity of Asian inspired cards and this set is perfect with that goal in mind. The only concern is that the large stamp is 4-1/2" x 5-3/4" so be sure you have a stamp block to accommodate it. The designs are beautiful.

These stamps are so beautiful. I used them to make a birthday card for my mother-in-law and she was so impressed by how elegant the background looked and how well the lantern made it pop. I also used the lantern and the small symbol to make wrapping paper for her present, which she also loved. Just make sure you have a big enough block to mount the background stamp on too. I had to resort to using a glass casserole dish for lack of anything else suitable!

Discount Play-doh Mega Pack 36 cans

Customer Ratings:

This pack is a great way to stock up on Playdoh. It may be cheaper in local stores, but on Amazon the various multipacks of Playdoh are roughly the same price per ounce, except for the Play-Doh: Case of Colors, which costs about twice as much per ounce. The breakdown:

Play-Doh: Case of Colors is about .52 per ounce (20oz at $10.50).

Play-Doh Classic Colors Assorted 4 Pack is about .25 per ounce (20oz at $5).

Play-Doh 24-Pack of Colors is about .26 per ounce (72oz at $19).

Play-doh Mega Pack 36 cans is about .23 per ounce (108oz at $25).

I like the smaller cans, because my kids are hard on Playdoh and I like to be able to open a little at a time. Hope this helps!

I routinely play with Play-doh with the three grandkids that are 3 to 4 years old. By that age they have quit eating the stuff and aren't so old as to have lost interest.

This is the ideal sized container. The larger containers have too much doh for small hands.

This is a great set of colors. Some of the colors (like black, brown, and white) are hard to find in smaller sets.

I don't buy the sets that squish the doh into shapes. Although they tons of fun, the doh gets stuck and hardens and you end up discarding the squishers. I buy cheap sets of cookie cutters, plastic cutting boards, one large good rolling pin, and lots of devices to cut and roll (be creative).

Too keep the doh moist, occasionally add a 1/2 tsp of water to all the cans and let them set for a couple of days.

I have 7 young children that were kept amused for several hours thanks to this mega pack of play-doh. Even my 2 year old, sat at our dining room table for TWO STRAIGHT HOURS making various pretend foods and flowers and trees. Play-doh is a classic. It's great for fine tuning gross motor skills in young children, while capturing the imagination for children and adults alike.

Would I buy this again? You bet.

One of the best childhood "toys" ever.

Reviews of Kustom Body Art Girls Face Paint Set 8 Color Boxed Set, 3 Ml Each

I bought this to practice face painting before helping with a church face painting booth at the fair. To be honest, I did goof and got the "girly" one by mistake, but realized right after I'd ordered that I had and just went with it. The problem is that it calls this a "rainbow" pallet. I didn't realize rainbows had three shades of pinkwell, one is more orangey-salmon, but still pinkish, and no blues. This kit would've been a lot better with one less pink, one of the two whites (there's one that's more white and one that's silvery-white) and adding a blue and a black, because even delicate girly things need black lines to define them and make them look more realistic.

I also had a skin reaction to the purple, but then again, I react to a lot of things. Just test before you go crazy painting on someone.

These paints worked very well for painting kids' faces ages 2.5-7. We bought two packages, for about 10 kids, did most with full faces and we have enough to do another party.

Two things to mention:

-I bought extra brushes to supplement those in the kit. Plus some little makeup sponges.

-I ordered a 'girls' kit and a 'boys' kit and they were exactly the same color pallete.

I would have given it a 5 star rating, but the templates are cardboard and seem to bend easily. If they were plastic, they would last much longer I would expect. They will work great for the craft projects I will be working on.

I know that title isn't exactly a ringing endorsement but I wasn't expecting a diamond studded silk ball gown. I expected a package of card stock templates for basic shapes. That's what I got. It's not extensive and the shapes (in spite of the shear number of individual templates) are really basic and limited. Some don't really make sense and seem thrown in for grins. There's a bottle, a bow and a keyhole for instance and that makes no sense to me. Other than that, most of them are basic geometric or variants on those (with scalloped edges, for instance). I'm not disappointed and it wasn't expensive.

Review of Dress My Cupcake DMC29203 Washi Decorative Tape for Gifts

Customer Ratings:

This was my first time using this tape, and I really liked working with it. It is very translucent, so it looks great on glass. I used it on hurricane lamps. The candlelight glowed through the tape, which looked beautiful. This tape is easily repositionable and removable. It leaves no sticky residue behind. I just don't know if it would stick permanently like masking tape, because it does lift so easily.

My 6 year old daughter asked me to teach her how to knit so she could make clothes for her dolls...but I don't know how. I took a chance when I saw this product in a catalog; it had no reviews then so I was just hoping it would work well. She got it for Christmas and has had a blast with it! By the end of Christmas morning, she had already knitted two different pairs of leg warmers which she now loves showing off as her own creation to her dance class. She's also made a full-sized adult scarf and is working on a poncho for herself. She is beyond thrilled that she can do this on her own and actually has a product to be proud of at the end of it all.

I did not have any of the issues the other reviewer had. It's hard plastic, so I don't expect it to last forever, but we have put it through some work and it's still holding up. You must be sure to keep the thread easily moving through the machine; it puts a lot of strain when it's trying to pull it out of the skein itself. Also, **be sure to read ALL the way through to the end of the directions about marking the starting point with a permanent marker before beginning (that was written last and didn't make any sense...it should be front and center because THAT matters!) My daughter needs a little help loading it up and tying the ends off when her product is complete, but I enjoy something that we can work on together and it doesn't bother me that she needs my help for 2 minutes or less on certain stages.

Bottom line: we're having a blast with it! (I think everyone in the family is getting a knitted scarf for Christmas next year.) :)

Hi,

This machine is surprisingly exceptional....so, I have to tell the world lol

seriously.. I was pleasantly impressed, after trying this knitter on almost all types and weights of yarn.... it works!

it squeaks a bit for heavier weights (like a clunky toy), but with a little patience i was even able to use double yarn to make my socks.. I dont recommend double yarn in "walmart" yarn weight if you can help it.. get a better, lighter weight yarn.. and it has a slightly wider spacing between each needle than the professional sock makers...but not bad.

I have a professional Addi knitter for larger items, but couldn't afford the small "sock" addi maker as well, so tried this one. I'm sooo glad I was able to save the $120 extra bucks since this-while not perfect-is adequate for my needs.. and, in my opinion, far superior to a "toy" :)

I'd recommend it

We bought this same one at Walmart for $20, Christmas 2010. It works, but the gear starts to slip badly after using it for just a short time (only got about 3/4 of the way done with a scarf before the gear started slipping). It can still be used, but has an annoying noise as it slips (drove me nuts!). My husband took it apart and lubed it and that helped a tiny bit. It's easy to use, but it's not well made and certainly will not last for years. The gears are plastic and that itself tells you it will not last forever. It's certainly worth the $20 Walmart price ($62.00 price listed here is outrageous!), as I was able to make several scarves with it, but I certainly wouldn't spend any more on this item.

Honest reviews on NSI Knitting Machine

As soon as I opened the box we starting knitting. It took a few times to figure out how the needles work. It is important to have the tension hooked up right. The instructions are not so good and knowing a bit about knitting helps. Having said that my purpose was to have my grandkids (3 &4) help make their leg warmers and mittens. We did the first day make the first leg warmers. They were able to crank with a little help. We made a long snake last night for the 2 year old which he loves. My imagination is sparked and I have lots of ideas for new projects. I wanted to know whether I would enjoy a knitting machine. It is lots of fun.

This product, is great. for a hand knitter your just amazed at how fast the fabric comes out.

it is a toy, but its a great to practice with machine knitting.

the only cons to the machine are:

-the beginning isn't cast-off

-the crack might slip if tension is too high

-theres a click noise [click noise means your doing it right]

-yarn is a little expensive [ light 3 yarn]

finishing both ends off is challenging

. but you must remember this is a toy. a real knitting machine might run you 100$ and up

i love my nsi knitting machine

When your toddler needs some inspiration and motivation to get on with fine motor skills, those scissors are one of the best answers. They are not dangerous as regular scissors (even intended for children) because they do not have straight blades. They can cut anything with cute patterns and borders; they can get very excited about that!
