Its fun for the kids my 4 year old LOVES it!! I didnt use the yarn they wanted, I did use a different brand because it seemed like it would wear better than what they call for and I was able to use a LOT less yarn. I didnt do what they said for the eyes either because of what my son wanted but you have to do the eyes on both sides, that is my son's favorite part.
