My 7 year old son and I love these things! They're fun to do on a rainy day, a nice break from the video games. The blaster gun is unnecessary as this kit provides a little skirt bottle that works perfectly fine.I will say though that it really does take the full 24 hours (as the instructions say) for the pieces to dry and not be tacky to the touch, but once they do they're good.Also, we had some difficulty getting the beads to stay in place at first but that's because we were pressing way too hard. They only require a light amount of pressure to stick onto the pegs.All in all, glad I got this.

I was afraid that this would be a waste of money, but my son and daughter love it! My 5 year old son saw the commercials and put it high on his Christmas list, so we had to get it. My hopes were not very hight especially because it had to compete with other very fun presents. Not only has my son had a lot of fun creating various creatures and items, my 11 year old daughter has enjoyed creating a few things. So for the money, this ended up being an excellent purchase!

They don't spray together as easily as the directions make it seem. You have to really spray the things down and let them dry completely. The more you spray the more they will stick together, lets put it that way. This is not a time for water conservation! Treat it like 80's hairspray!I do like that it has the pegs, rather than like the little round ones they have out there... Aqua beads I think?There is a dryer that you can get... I Find it easier just to put these in front of a fan, but either way you go if you want them sturdy you're looking at a good wait time after spraying. They will always seem just a tiny bit sticky and any time a kid has wet hands like from condensation from a drink, the 'beads' will start reacting to it. There's no way to 'set' them permanently obviously. Older children will understand this concept but If you don't want your 4-6 year old ruining their designs they worked hard on, make sure they keep their hands dry.Note: My nephew was rather disappointed with this item due to the lack of durability. He was expecting for them to instantly stand up on their own and be able to battle each other like in the video he watched. He still played and built with them but they didn't go home with him. He kept it at my house for the rare times he comes over. Obviously this wasn't a winning item with him.Also note: I plan to teach him an improper way to use this product by NOT relying on the grid for everything. The Grid holds him back from 3D projects and I think once he realizes there is more capability than he thought it might change his perspective. More work, but more build-ability. Crossing my fingers.

Kids love them. They use to make things with the beads that you have to melt with an iron. They were getting tired of waiting for mom (me) to get around to it. This helps us both. They can make their own design, get their own water and spray it themselves. It saves me from lugging out the iron and helps them become more self sufficient.Parents must be prepared for lots of little beads. They don't roll around as much because they are square but they will still end up on the floor. I use trays to try and keep the mess contained.

There great for maybe a older child. In the end I had to place them since each piece is very tiny and easily knocked out of position. My kids 6 and 3 got to squirt. They were a lot of work and each bag says to wash hands after handling. That leads me to believe that they are hazardous or toxic. Commercial shows stands to display the finished product and those weren't included.

My 8 year old son and 5 year old daughter love these! They really stick when wet (so don't grab a bead if your hands wet!) The figures my kids have made have held up great. Super easy, super fun!

FANTASTIC! Got my kids off electronics. They are 6 and 8 and they love doing these. Highly recommend for fine motor skills and fun, easy crafting.

Very disappointed. Beads are small and are easily knocked over when adding additional beads to the template. Also they do not fit easily on the tray pins. May give up before completing one! Not recommended.
