A really loved sewing kit
This “make your own penguin” is excellent and I would have given it 5 stars had the instructions been better.
My 11 year old grand daughter thoroughly enjoyed making it but I had to help with the order of sewing because the written instructions were not clear enough for joining the head to the body part.
The suggested sewing stitch is “backstitch” however from last experiences there is not enough thread to do this. Also the back of the penguin is not as neat as the front.
Consequently I advised her to do a running stitch and then go around again doing a running stitch in the opposite spaces.
The thread is 6 stranded cotton. I split it in half so she sewed using three strands. Much better and plenty of thread to complete the penguin.

Nice kit, terrible instructions
The contents of the set were great but the instructions were terrible. This kit is aimed at children and as such it should be easy for them to follow. We had to make it up as we went along. Very disappointed.

Good kit for Beginners but Needs Amendments
A good kit for beginner sewers, the pieces are pre-cut with guide holes and there is more than enough thread.
The instructions could do with a bit of a re-work though, sometimes there are hard to follow and seem to miss important points.
I've hand-sewn many felt toys before, without instructions, so I was able to work through it quite quickly, but I can see some new sewers getting confused

Missing piece but otherwise good
There was a missing piece that was very important. Fortunately I managed to make it anyway, although I had to adapt the pattern quite a lot.
