    4.0 out of 5 stars A doable activity with a result that lasts 13 Jan 2010
    Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
    So, you get something which you will spend as much as an hour, to be realistic on a leisurely day, making with your child. And then you get to keep the results, which can be rather 'individual'.

    The fiddly bit that puts me off just a little bit I can explain as follows: see in the product picture that there's a sort of net in the hoop. That's made out of a single silver string, which you have to wrap around the outside of the hoop with suitable distances between each coil, and then start weaving the net from the first coils inwards. This may take a couple of tries, and results may vary, but you can do it over and again if you wish. Impatient children will have to wait half an hour for the glue to dry where the feathers are stuck on. After that, you hang it up.

    It seemed fun for my daughter even though I did most of the work, and she liked choosing which beads to use where, as well as the end result. Had it a year now, and only yesterday she told me she was happy to have it catching her bad dreams.

    No one's going to say 'wow' receiving this gift in the same way as they would with a Wii or whatever it is that causes fireworks, and there's not a lot in the box. But I think it's a satisfying enough mini-present that deserves a go if you don't mind some very minor craftwork.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Sun-catcher kit review 7 Feb 2009
    Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 1.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   
    A lovely present idea - more suitable for older children, as very fiddly. Otherwise very good value for money.

    Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 1.0 out of 5 stars   
    This took over an hour and the only thing my 7 yr old daughter could manage was choosing the colour combinations of beads and feathers.
    It is extremely fiddly. For a start the 'lace' you cover the metal ring with doesn't hold still despite the initial knot so we had to glue it in place and wait for the glue to dry. We had the same problem with the first layer of the silver thread which you weave the mesh with so again we had to glue it into place and peg it in place around the edges before we could start on the second layer in. The thread kept fraying so we had to keep trimming the ends in order to get the beads on. By the time I had finished the central mesh there was not enough thread left to add the feathers. Fortunately I had some pretty ribbon in stock so we, or rather I, was able to finish the dream catcher. My daugher is pleased with the result and excited to have a dream catcher but there is really no fun in the making, just a lot of frustration.

    Bought this for my granddaughter, but it was difficult to wind the ribbon round the frame as it just kept moving round as it was slippy.

    Bought for a 5 year old, it was a little difficult for her to do on her own so needed a lot of parental input. It's quite flimsy but my little girl loves it.
