Unlike the other poster, I loved this project. It does say on the box that it is for ages 8 and up and maybe she didn't notice that. Even my 8 year old needed some help, but that's ok as I actually like to do these projects with her as opposed to just giving it to her to do by herself. The adhesive isn't the best in the world, but if you child understands that these are toys that are more for admiring than for toting around everywhere they should hold up fine.

This was given to my daughter for her birthday and although it looks fun, the double-sided tape was hard to remove from one side and the scales keep falling off. What the toy did teach is that it looks pretty on the box, you can't believe everything they adverstise. In addition that it is just better to sew cloth than tape it together.

It was obvious from the get go that glue alone would not hold this doll together so I did what I could with the glue and hand sewed what needed to be sewn by hand. My three year old granddaughter watched everything that I did and she was quite happy with "Leah" & has now asked for the mermaid doll.
Honest reviews on 4M Mermaid Doll Making Kit
This toy, very cute on the outside, is not cute on the inside. I bought for my 5 year old and we made it, but she wasn't able to do ANY OF THE WORK except for perhaps glueing on some sequins. I wouldn't even recommend it for an older child since it drove me NUTS putting it together. Adhesive strips are almost impossible to use...prepare to curse silently as you do this activity together. On top of that, it offers ZERO creativity. I really don't understand the point of it at all, since once you get it together it is too fragile to really play with. It would have taken me less time to sew a doll from scratch...next time I'll do that and at least let my daughter help with design and fabric choices...

This product shipped fast. I think it is worth what the cost is. But don't have high expectations for it. My daughter is 10 1/2 and she was very frustrated trying to do this project. I had to help her a lot. Among other small problems, it comes with two sided tape strips to tape things together, but even with my natural long nails, I had a terrible time trying to separate the backing from the tape. I'm not upset, because it didn't cost much. But, I wouldn't buy it again for any of my other daughters.
