Is The Friends 4 Ever Bracelet Making Kit Worth Buying? 

This bracelet making kit comes with enough thread to make 22 bracelets. The included thread is of average quality, although it's good enough for the purpose (and is easily and cheaply replaced), but the colors are bright and varied which makes it more interesting for children.

The kit also comes with a selection of beads to add an extra bit of variety to the bracelets.


Kits like this have many advantages. Firstly, they encourage creativity. The kit comes with looms that allow for a number of designs, but it's possible to invent your own designs using the included materials. Once a child has grasped the basics, they're fairly free to invent and create.

And if they're stuck for ideas, it's easy to find new pattern ideas for this kit on the internet. The Friends 4 Ever Bracelet Making Kit also helps to develop the skills needed for crafts. Manual dexterity is one skill commonly required for crafts, and making bracelets certainly helps to develop this.

The more you make bracelets the better your craft skills will get, helping you to make bracelets faster and also making it easier for you to try some other kinds of craft activities too. There's certainly a lot of fun to be had making bracelets, and it's a great way to encourage kids to interact with one another. Sitting in a group and weaving bracelets allows children to chat together, and means that they can learn from one another too.

Kids can derive a lot of satisfaction out of successfully making their own bracelets, and get even more joy from it when they can give these bracelets to friends as gifts. Friendship bracelets encourage kids to give gifts to one another and put effort into their friendships. For all these reasons, you could classify the bracelet making kit as an educational toy, although it's not specifically marketed as such. There are a couple of possible down sides to this toy.

Whilst most people seem to be able to make bracelets with this kit fairly trouble-free, some customers report the instructions to be confusing which prevents them from completing bracelets. Another issue for some might be that making bracelets can be a time consuming process that also requires a degree of patience. Of course, most parents would like their kids toys to be time consuming! But if you're looking for a quick fix then you might have to look elsewhere. 

Finishing on a positive note, the whole kit comes in a handy carry case. This means that not only is the kit portable, but it's easy to store and keeps things tidy around the house. On the whole, this is a great product that's an ideal way to get kids playing together while being creative.
