I really enjoyed this kit. I’d been interested in trying out needle felting and I think this was a good way to get started. The directions were pretty easy to follow and my fox turned out very cute (although not exactly like the picture on the cover). The kit comes with one felting needle (no handle, just the needle), one sewing needle, a piece of dense white foam (a little bit larger than a deck of cards), orange, white, and black wool, and black embroidery thread. It was nice that the instructions had outlines for the general shape and size of each piece. There were no molds, the shaping of each piece was done free form. I think the instructions could have been a bit more clear about how exactly to add the embroidery thread accents, but overall l it was a fun, satisfying craft and a good value. FYI, you probably will poke yourself with the needle a few times! When I was finished, I even had enough left over wool to make a little cat. I would definitely recommend this kit — but because of the nature of needle felting (stabbing with a sharp needle!) and the free form sculpting of the wool, it’s probably not a kit you would want to give a younger child.

Fun and the materials it came with were good quality, but it’s harder than I thought it would be! The directions are clear but it’s still a challenge to get things shaped right. I did appreciate the outlines showing what size each piece should be. Make sure you don’t get carried away and prick yourself with the needle like I did!

I wanted to give needle felting a try and this kit allowed me to do that without spending a lot. My fox didn’t turn out quite like the picture, of course, but it still came out nice. I plan on getting a kit like this for my teenage niece for Christmas. I like that it contains everything you need to do a project.
