Great for beginner weavers . My 10 yr. old learned basic weaving in her school's art class. She really enjoyed it so I decided to purchase a loom she could have and reuse. I chose this one because it had a scarf and purse project which i thought she would like. She absolutely loves this product and has made a small blanket for her American Girl doll and a scarf as a gift for her friend. For the scarf, however, she had to make sections which I had to sew together for her. She would have preferred to make one large weaving, but that wasn't possible. Overall, it's really good quality and we highly recommend it for beginners.

Great for Grammas and Kids . A beginner's project that you can teach your grandchild (or your child). Spend time with your little one teaching them how to start, then just supervise as they 'take it away.'
Minor Changes could have made this much better . We bought this loom for my 7 year old son. There is a problem that should have been corrected to make this loom much more accessible for a child. The shaft bar, which separates every-other warp thread by lifting them up and allowing others to fall into a slot on the bar is too small. The separation between the warp threads is too small to allow for the spindle wrapped with just a couple of lengths of yarn (enough for only 2 - 3 back and forth runs, before needing to be refilled) to pass through. This problem could have easily been solved by the manufacturer by making the shaft bar larger to create a larger gap for the shaft bar to pass through. This problem makes this loom very difficult for kids, and even when I use it, I find it very frustrating. I much prefer the Harrisville Designs Peg Loom, which just uses a plastic needle to weave between the threads - and it's half the price. Another issue with this toy is that I purchased this loom for $47 and it has gone down in price to $31 since then. I would look for a better quality loom if you want one with waft threat separation.Finally, a minor complaint - I bought this loom for my son, but the box art depicts only girls using the loom and includes only yarn with pinks and instructions and supplies to make a purse. Boys like yarn crafts too, and it's a shame to discourage them.
My Niece loves this loom! . This is more than a toy. It opens up a world of arts and crafts. My niece made an awesome purse and is now interested in weaving!
