Some animals require sewing wrong sides together & then turning right side out before stuffing, others you just whip stitch wrong sides together and stuff. It encourages creativity by showing a variety of sewn eyes & a selection of to-scale accessories patterns (top hat, hair bow, party hat, sunglasses). It also has pictures of the critters in different felt colors.
These are mini - most easily held between thumb and forefinger. (See pic with adult sized eyeglasses for size comparison.)
It comes with enough felt to make all the animals once in the suggested colors & you could still make many of them again if you are careful with your felt. You might need more stuffing & pre-cut eyes/cheeks though.
This requires tracing, cutting, following written directions & sewing. Some of the directions are not 100% clear on assembly, but using the pictures we figured everything out - we have made all of the animals & most of the accessories.
The designs are all really cute and even with mistakes and developing sewing skills they still turn out cute and fairly durable. The pictures show some of the animals we made in the suggested felt colors by 3 different skill level crafters (1 adult & 2 kids).
Patterns included (with instructions):
"Flat" : sloth, bat, pig, whale
"Belly" : seal, hedgehog
4-legs : fox, raccoon, alpacca
"Ball" : bunny, panda, octopus, owl
Accessories : bow, hats, sunglasses

Here are my thoughts:
1) While the patterns and directions are easy to follow per say, working on a miniature animal requires someone more skilled because there is not as much material to work with.
2) I do not think they provided enough of each color felt OR string. If you messed up at all, there wouldn't be enough left to finish the other animals.
3) I do think this experience helped me increase my sewing skills. I did 12 mini-animals total. The first half were disasters, but as I worked through the book, I was able to put in better details. The sloth in the picture is the second one I made. The alpaca pictured was one of the last!
4) The string was hard to separate and the instructions didn't say to do so. If you leave the string as thick as it comes, you will run out mid-project.
Overall, was a hard project for me, BUT I really am happy I took the time to make something for my kids. If it came with more product to work with, it would have been even better!
