I bought this as a gift for a 5 year old girl. The kids at the birthday party started
playing with it right away - an instant hit! There were 3 little girls and 2 little boys
and they started making necklaces with their names. The quality and the color of the beads
are great. It's a great buy for the price.

We got our 4 year old this last Christmas and it was a great present...while it lasted. I guess I just didn't really put together how many letters would be used for each name but we made about 6 necklaces and then didn't have enough letter beads to make many more. There aren't very many of the others either. I thought they were perfectly sized for good hand/eye coordination and it was a nice activity to help spell out friends/family's names and choose the fun colors to go with but unfortunately it was one of those toys that was really fun for a day or two and then we couldn't use it anymore. I think next time I'll go with a large case of plastic beads for $[...] from a local store to increase the length of time we'll get to use it.
Like the others said, it doesn't come with a cover. I do think it's perfect for the 4-6 age range.

This is a very pretty set of beads, especially if your child likes letters and/or you're working on letter recognition or spelling. My 4-year-old daughter and her 7-year-old cousin both enjoyed stringing these beads. Be aware, however, that the pretty box it comes in has no lid. I couldn't think of a use for a box with no lid, so I ended up throwing out the box. If you choose any of the smaller M&D bead sets with the arched top and the larger beads at the top, such as this one--Melissa & Doug Butterfly Wooden Bead Set--those have a plastic lid that slides in the wooden box.

I love Melissa and Doug products but like other reviewers I have NO clue why none of the beautiful wooden boxes come with lids. THis seems like a given for a beading set like this one. Virtually everything I have purchased of theirs simply overflows into the larger drawer it is stored in ... so I, too, have begun to trash the wooden box and put everything in a craft organizer box. Would it be that difficult to include a lid with each toy?
