Fun toy.:
Given as a gift to my 8 year-old niece and she loves it. Practiced on a sheet of card stock first.
It actually works!:

This is a fun toy. My 5 year old granddaughter had tons of fun with it.:
Although my daughter worked with my granddaughter on this "project", I heard all about it and saw the results of the silk screening. The toy is very creative and I would buy it again for my other grandchildren.
Cool kit:
This kit is pretty well made. It has all you need to star "silk screening" on paper (and a bandana) right away. You can get cheap t-shirts and bags at a craft store to have something more to silkscreen on. The kit is very easy to use and the results are pretty good, of course, the older you are and the more adult help you get, the better. But my 7yo can do it by herself (with mixed results). As often with Michael products, I think it's too expensive for what it is - but I'd buy it again.
