95% OF CHICKS DIG IT
Cute, fun, needs adult assistance
Was pleasantly surprised by quality of purse and size was good. Design was great! Difficulte on the fingers. Did this with my 7 yr old. Kept his attention for the most part. His favourite part was pulling out the pieces from the pattern and applying the gems. Overall fun activity for us to do together!
Great product for kids who love to craft!
We loved this kit, it comes with everything you need to design your own heart-shaped purse, including precut pieces of faux leather and gems to customize. Assembling the bag was easy we just followed the instructions and used the strings to weave the pieces together. The quality of the bag really impressed me. The faux leather pieces felt durable, and the precut designs made it easy for my daughter to assemble. Everything included in the kit felt well-made and thoughtfully designed for kids. My daughter was so excited to make this product. She loves crafting, and she especially loved that her project turned into a cute pink purse she could actually use and wear. Seeing her proud of something she created herself made the experience even more special. This experience definitely makes me more interested in additional toys from Spin Master. The creativity and quality behind this kit make it a great choice for kids who enjoy hands-on activities.
Cool maker heart felt bag
My daughter loves anything that she builds so this bag is perfectly made for her!
It's an engaging way to get her little hands moving and teaching her patience to finish something while following an easy step to step instruction.
Will definitely get one for my other daughter :)
I little hard for my 6 year old
My daughter found this hard to do . I did have to help her with most of it and encourage her to keep going . We broke it up in two days as the leather was hard to pull through . She is only 6 but we did love the finsih product and she even brought it to school for dress down day
Great DIY toy, but maybe for an older age range
The toy quality was pretty great! The actual material for the Cool Maker, Sweetheart Handbag Kit was a sturdy material, and was easy to work with. My only concern was that the instructions lacked written directions, which made interpreting each step a bit challenging for my child. I do think that building the entire bag can get a bit tedious and frustrating for a child who’s 6-8 years old. I think this kit would be better suited for a slightly higher age range, maybe 9-12. Overall a great DIY kit for children, just needs to be a bit more simplified if it’ll remain 6+. Thanks!
"Cool bag" as my daughter says
My daughter was super excited when we received this Sweetheart bag kit from spinmaster. She wanted to get started right away and even worked away during her homeschool lesson videos. The whole project took a few hours and she was fully engaged.
The kit comes with faux leather pieces already cut out and a few gems to decorate with. You weave everything together so no needles are needed.
Unfortunately some leather pieces are very thin and it was hard to pull through the holes even for me. And some pieces ended up ripping. There were extra small pieces of leather but the big ones i was able to tie of and continue working with the redt of the leather string. My fingers did hurt at the end of the project.
That said my daughter really enjoyed this project, is very proud of the purse she made! She takes it along with her when we go places and puts her treasures inside the bag which is very spacious for a child.
I find this is also a great experience and lesson to learn how items are made from leather and the whole process of weaving instead of sewing.
We are already looking at other kits to try.
Hands on and Interactive
My daughter and I had so much fun making this bag together - not only did it give us some mama daughter bonding time but also gave my daughter a hands on experience of making something she can use! I loved how easy the instructions were to follow, and that this took some time (which means focus and concentration).
Immediately add to cart!
The most interactive fun my daughter has had making a “toy”. The quality is fantastic and the instructions were so easy to follow. Making the entire experience so enjoyable for a 6 year old. At times adult hands are needed for extra assistance when joining mini heart into the main purse but overall it’s easy and super fun. My daughters loved parading the purse around when it was completed. It was the perfect way to keep her engaged and she felt fulfilled when she finished her project. We would absolutely purchase this item again and make a second purse for my younger daughter.
Cutest Lil’ Sweetheart Bag
As a big fan of Spin Master toys, it was exciting to receiving the CoolMaker Sweetheart Purse [free in the mail] to review- This was a fun craft for my daughter- who really enjoyed being able to customize the purse with the cutest accessories that came included with the bag. The faux leather is strong and can easily hold all your little one’s special treasures.
Cool Maker Sweetheart Handbag through Butterly
We got the Cool Maker Sweetheart Handbag through Butterly, and it was a fun little project overall.
My daughter is 8, and even though the kit says 6+, she definitely needed help with the instructions. Honestly, I found them a bit confusing too, so it wasn’t just her. It took us a bit of time to figure everything out together.
That said, once we got it all put together, it actually looked really nice. The finished handbag is cute, feels well-made, and doesn’t come across as cheap at all. My daughter was really proud of it when she was done.
Overall, it’s a great idea and a fun activity, just be prepared to jump in and help with the setup.
