Adorable and fun to make
I was kind of worried that the cute pom pom pets would be hard to make because of all the negative reviews, but it's actually fairly easy if you have any sort of fine motor skills. Last night, me, my husband, my sister, and another friend spent a couple hours playing with this kit. All four of us were able to successfully create both basic "baby" pom pom pets (made with a single pom) and more complex "grownup" pets (which require wires and multiple colors). My sister and I are super crafty, so our pets came out exactly like the photographs from the get go, but neither my husband nor our friend had much trouble making cute pets. It helped that the directions were clear and extremely thorough. Each step was clearly illustrated, and there were lots of photos to model after. Our friend is not a native English speaker but she was able to follow along just fine. The directions were really incredibly thorough. They even have a photograph of the right size fork to use, to scale. You just have to follow the directions exactly for the poms to turn out perfectly. The kit includes everything you need (except fork, scissors and nail clippers) to make 10 to 20 pom pom pets. We spent a couple hours playing with it, and we still have enough leftover supplies to make a lot more.

Super Cute and Fun to Make
I was worried that this would be difficult for my 9 year old, but she has already completed several projects with minimal help required from me. I did walk her through the first project so that she could see what the instructions were directing her to do. I was very surprised that our little pom pom pig turned out just as cute as the one pictured! I think the first project took us about 45 minutes to complete. The instructions in the book are clearly worded, and the pictures illustrate exactly what to do. I like that the book is ordered so that you start with easier projects and learn the skills necessary for more complex ones. We will be making lots of cute pom-pom pets and spending some quality mom/daughter time together.

Lots to Learn & Love
My 12 year old daughter requested and received this as a gift. She has not put it down. She’s made everyone in the family their own Pom Pom animals and is now making them for friends at school. She’s managed to figure everything out with no outside help from myself or my husband. The little animals vary in difficulty levels, so there is room to learn. Also. It’s been about a week and we’ve already been to Michael’s to get more yarn and more eyes for her creations. I’m very happy with this purchase. I love seeing her create things! She’s become a devoted fan of the Klutz books! We just bought her one of their sewing books to learn next!

Very cute, easy to make
The book has a lot of cute ideas in it, and the accessories needed to make the crafts right inside the attached box. My daughter had a lot of fun making the different types of animals, and they turn out so adorable. Instructions are very clear and easy, she was able to get what she wanted on the first try, highly recommend this set. Was a pleasure to deal with sellers as well. 10/10
