I had one of these when I was a child so we purchased this for my 6 1/2 yr old. She thought it would be so much fun when she got it but it became frustrating when the loops kept coming off as she tried to weave them through. I wound up finishing the first one for her. We have decided it's best to do a little at a time. She loves the finished product and the fact that we can use them in the kitchen....
