This review is from : Pixos Disney Fairies
Fun play activity to share with a 4-5 year old girl! . Many folks have a love-hate relationship with Pixos. Nut my craftsy/"artist-want-to be" princess of a 5-year old niece loves them, and it's an activity that you are almost mandated to share to with them at this age. This pixo kit is the one, so far, she's enjoyed the most. Here's the ups and downs of it:
Upsides:
- Helping TINKERBELL fly is a winner: Tinkerbell is alway a winner with my niece, but making Tinkerbell's pixos wings for her to be able to fly again was a highlight for her with this set. Comes with a cut-out cardboard Tink and the "stickies" needed to attach her wings when you complete them. The wings are the "beginner" level of making - so perfect for this age.
- Tinkerbell in the Lost Island with Fairies and trees you make are even more of a winner: The box is cleverly designed to become a Lost Island forest - for on-going imaginative playability after you've made them.
Downsides:
The downsides are pretty much what people that don't like Pixo's typically will tell you - though my nieces enjoyment of them supercedes these downsides.
- Patience and a plan are required to fully enjoy Pixo's made for this age set:
Bumps that upset Pixos you've already placed happen (this tends to bother adults more than the kids). There's a lot of small pieces (TIP: We make sure we've already poured each color pixos into a little snack ziploc bag to reduce errant pixos floating around), and it does take a lot of spraying with water and a couple of hours for each of your "creations" to dry.
- Pixos aren't a "substitute baby-sitter" type-toy: With younger kids, you really do have to sit down and do the project with them with. To me, it makes it a fun shared activity.
- Placing Pixo's is easier for little fingers than 'adult-sized' fingers": We had no problem doing this one with our hands (the kit doesn't come with a Pixo pen. But, if you are doing them on a regular basis - I highly recommend getting a Pixos Pen Pack Starter Pack Plus Bonus Refill Kit, which includes a PIXO placement pen that adults with bigger hands often find easier to use.

Pixos Disney Fairies Reviews
Nice craft to do together . I had originally ordered 2 of these to give as birthday gifts however while waiting for them to arrive, my own 6 year old daughter started begging for Pixos so I gave them to my own girls ages 4 and 6. I was hesitant at first, but it was actually pretty good. I save the little condiment cups from takeout food and they were perfect to pour the pixos in to keep them organized and contained. I sat with my 4 year old and helped her while my 6 year old did it herself. We had experienced pixos at a friend's house previously and there was much frustration with the creations falling apart. I made sure to spray them very well and dry for several hours. The wings are holding up well on Tinkerbell and it is actually getting played with. I'm sure the interest will wane but this craft is at a good price. I'm here to order more for gifts!
