We received the Cool Maker, Sweetheart Handbag Kit, from Butterly / Spin Master to try.
It came at just the right time for Valentine's day. My 9 year old son was very excited to make something this cute and special for his sister for Valentine’s day.
It comes with all the pieces you need in the box. Putting the bag together wasn't difficult but the strap and the tiny attachment part was definitely challenging even for an adult. The little attachment straight arrow strings are very short and fragile. It is tricky to push through the holes and when you pull on them to make it fit it gets ripped easily.I am not sure how it will hold up at the strap attachments over time, a snap or clip might have been easier and more durable than the string thing. It took us almost 3 hours to finish it. Although it said ages 6 and up he needed lots of help with the small parts.
That said, the finished bag is really cute and a nice heart shaped that little girls are absolutely adorable with soft pink colors, sparkly stone stickers and attachments. Its small , child-friendly size make it easy to wear and perfect for little everyday treasures like sunglasses and lip balms.
The best part was to see my son wrapping it and giving it to his sister for Valentine’s day. She loved it and that moment made the whole craft feel special and worth the effort.
A sweet idea with a few small design challenges but still a lovely activity overall.
This experience definitely makes me more interested in exploring additional Spin Master toys.

We received the PAW Patrol Deluxe Search & Rescue – Chase toy through Butterly/Spin Master to test it.
My 20-month-old and my 9-year-old were both very excited to try this toy. As a home daycare provider, I really value toys that work well for different ages and are sturdy and safe for multi-age play, and this one fits in perfectly.The toy includes a Chase figurine, a vehicle with a launcher in the front under the hood, two launcher pieces that can be stored (one in the back and one under the hood), and a removable drone in the back.It was very easy for even my 20-month-old to operate the launcher. She doesn’t understand how to load it yet, so her older brother helped her. She was happily cruising along and kept pressing the launcher.My son set up a mission where he tested the drone, which was one of his favourite features of the toy. To attach the drone to the vehicle, it needs to be pressed firmly, so that feature is better suited for bigger kids. The toy is very sturdy, held up well to rough play and a drop test, and we even tested whether it fits in our PAW Patroller — which it did.
Based on the quality, durability, and how engaged the kids were during play, this experience definitely makes me more interested in exploring additional Spin Master toys.
