 Occupational Therapist says it's a great fine motor activityAug 17, 2008

My Tissue Art lets kids have fun while developing their fine motor skills. Crunching up the little tissue paper squares helps build the small intrinsic muscles of the hands, an important foundation for writing skills, doing buttons, and other developmental hand skills.

A great gift for a 5 y.o.Jul 27, 2009
By Happy Granny
I gave this to my 5 year old granddaughter & she loved it. The kit is designed such that she can create a beautiful picture independently, with little guidance from me other than to get started.

Great fine motor skill set, and fun activity for kids and parents.Jan 12, 2010
By T. Distaso
My 2 1\2 year old son received this for Christmas.
I love the simplicity of this set for parents to do with young children.
The base for each object is a sturdy tagboard typ maretial. Each section has it own seperate peel off area so you can have the child concentrate on one area easily.
This also makes it easy to stop at the moment a kids is done or gets distracted without really messing up the whole kit.
It was very smart to have the kids ball up the little pieces of tissue paper and then press down. They can make such great art projects then, basically by themself with only a bit of parent guidence.
The tissues are great vibrant colors and the perfect size for little hands!

 Great Idea, Extremely Poor DesignSep 26, 2011
By J. Vickery
My daughter thoroughly enjoys craft projects, and the Alex Toys Little Hands series is quite popular around our house. This particular activity, however, left much to be desired. We've gotten three of these kits from different sellers and at different times. In all three instances, the mounting boards were not sticky enough for the tissue paper to actually stick.
The first time around, we were living overseas and purchased from a local vendor. I thought perhaps we just got an old set, or a set that had been exposed to temperature extremes. The second set, we purchased through Amazon while in the U.S. Once again, the tissue paper absolutely would not stick to the mounting board, rendering the craft frustrating and unusable. The third set was part of a larger Little Hands craft package. My daughter discovered them on her arts and crafts shelf today and has once again been reduced to tears by this extremely poor product.
It's also worth mentioning that the tissue paper included with this project is bleeding tissue paper. My daughter paused to get a drink of water while she was working on this ill-conceived project and now has hot pink stains on her hands, outfit, and desktop. Bleeding tissue paper is great stuff -- for certain projects. But it probably shouldn't have been included without warning in a craft kit geared toward young children.

 easy craft for kidsAug 21, 2011
By Diana
I purchased this for my grandchildren, ages, 5,8,9. it was easy for all of them, and they had a great time doing it. the only complaint is the glue is not that great, and the tissue does not stay on well. although the older ones had fun making it, they finished quick. I would recommend this for ages 4-6.
