Great activity for the little hands. . My 2 1\2 year old son received this for Christmas.
It has been a great fine motor skill activity. It is very easy to set up.
It comes with 4 different scenes, and a sheet of stickers to go with each scene.
The scene and matching sticker sheet are in a packet together so it is so easy to just open up one set, set it up and do the activity together.
I agree with a previous review, the stickers did not stick well for my son, the edges really peel up.
At his age that makes him then want to peel them off. But he does really enjoy making the project so that is tolerable to me.
There are PLENTY of stickers for each scene as well. Very colorful and vibrant stickers often way more than are needed for each scene, kind of a bonus IMO.
The scene is a lightweight cardboard\tagboard material, making it more durable for the little hands to not bend or crease.
the plastis frames are fun as well and just a simple inlay to attack the finished works of art. Complete with an area to write your little Artist's name and date.
I wish there was more sets of these. I would buy them again, and would reccomend them for gifts for young kids.
Alex Little Hands, My Sticker Art Reviews
Fun Sticker Pictures . My son received the Little Hands, My Sticker Art for Christmas a few years ago. He was 4 at the time and loved making the pictures. It has four frames and four different pictures to make. The one thing I didn't like was that the stickers kept falling off after we hung the pictures up. So I went ahead and put clear contact paper over the finished pictures. The pictures are still hanging up and our youngest loves to take them down and look at them (he can't hurt them or take the stickers off and stick them in his mouth, because they are laminated...)
Alex Little Hands, My Sticker Art Opinions
Ehhhhh. Not bad not great . I'm a fan of most of the Alex art kits, but this one is just sort of boring. I'll try and explain. These are printed cardboard scenes with a sheet of appropriate stickers for that scene, as well as a plastic display frame for each. One, for example, is a page of nine cookies to decorate with the stickers which are sprinkles, candy, etc.

PROS:
Everything is included: no glue is necessary, and stickers remove easily by even little hands.
Not a project that needs too much oversight, as there are no real directions on where to put the stickers. Mom can check email!
No scissors needed.
Multiple sets, individually wrapped, convenient.


CONS:
There are way too many stickers! How can that be a CON? Because there are so many that the child isn't really able to place them coherently on the scenes. You could probably cover the cardboard twice with all the stickers given for each set.

Since there's no following of directions, there's not much to learn. A cheap $1.00 sticker book at Michael's could achieve the same thing. It's more busy work for when you need a moment of sanity.

PRO/CON
The extra stickers can be used for other projects, theoretically. My son just put them all over everything. Do you know how to get stickers off curtain panels?
Great value . This box is composed of 4 base sheets of designed cards, 4 frames and 4 sheets of plenty of stickers. The idea is for the child to decorate each card however they wish with the stickers and then frame them. The stickers can be tricky to peel off for younger children, but no complaints - great product.
Great gift for toddler . My 3-year-old daughter received this as a birthday present and has loved it. She is a sticker fanatic, so I knew the moment she opened it the gift would be a hit. I think she enjoys the creative freedom to choose where each sticker is going to be placed on the pre-printed background scenes. She also seems to enjoy framing her "art" with the frames provided. My only complaint is there aren't enough stickers and backgrounds in the box. We ran out of pages pretty quickly, but we enjoyed it while it lasted.
One time fun . I was dissapointed that this was a one time put stickers on a background toy. It only took my daughter a few minutes and it was done. I like the button art toy much better because they can do it over and over.
sticker fun . My 3-year old and 5-year old grandkids got a kick out of this craft set. It's nice that they packaged them as individual sets so everything doesn't get all mixed up. Maybe pricey for what you get, but it's perfect for their ages and for them to do with minimal help.
