    Dude, these things are AWESOME!

    Dude, these things are AWESOME!
    This set is SUPER DOPE. Better if adult helps with child, great bonding activity. I recommend having a chunk of uninterrupted time putting it together. ALSO, I used USB power plug fairy lights instead of the battery ones that come with the set, the outcome will be better. The reason is I hate changing out batteries if I don't have to. Try to find lights with a power plug or USB cable. You'll need around 50 LED lights. If you have a wifi lights hub or Alexa hub it's compatable. So long story short. The animal you put together will look awesome in your child's room and glow bright forever. Happy crafting!Thank you Creatto, you guys are bomb!

    Excellent product for the kids. It's quite a challenge for 8yr old kid but get them to help, adult will have to join it up. Will take a while to figure out the instructions even for adults. However, it's worth the effort upon completion.

    The lights are amazing and really add ambience to the room.
