What adult doesn't remember making many of these in their younger days? I went crazy making these in the 70s! I gave this as a Christmas 2011 gift, with a bag of refills, to my nephew's daughter. It took her mom a few months to get her interested in trying it, but she finally did start and is now having fun with it. In this day and age when kids are glued to their video games, I find it comforting to know that I have given a gift that will nurture a child's creative side. Her mom posted a picture of her the other day on her Facebook page, with a potholder that was nearly complete... had to smile at that one!...
