GIOTTO be-bèSuper Colouring and Modelling Set, Felt Tipped Pens, Modelling Dough and Pencils, Suitable for Ages 2+

I think this is an excellent set to keep toddlers happy including crayons, pencils, pencil sharpener, modelling dough and accessories and a colouring book. Everything is really well made and but it costs £20.68 as of January 2022 and I just think it's a little high for what you get.The colouring book folds out and is made from thick card, it has cute images all involving the Giotto sheep mascot, just a shame there isn't a bit more variety.There are three tubs of modelling dough orange, yellow and green and it is good quality dough, there is four tools to help with modelling the dough (plastic scissors, tube, roller and spatula),There are 6 different colour pens, really good quality with a nice weight to hold and adorned with the Giotto be-be name and sheep. The colours are red, pink, blue, black, orange, yellow, green and brown.I love the pencils, they are thick and chunky and feel great to hold, a good size for toddlers and like the pens they have the name and sheep character on. The pencils come in the colours yellow, red, green, purple, black and blue.There is also a yellow pencil sharpener that works well.I can't fault the quality and the design of the set, our daughter loves it, everything is correctly sized for a toddler/child to help them grip and use. It is just the cost is a little high and that's the only reason it has got 4 and not 5 stars.

This arrives in a large brightly coloured box measuring approx 43.5cm x 31.5cm x 5cm.It looks like it's going to be a great gift but actually the contents are very limited.3 pots (100g each) of modelling dough, 6 pencils, 8 felt tip pens, 4 small clay play tools, a pencil sharpener & a small colouring book for a total of 23 items.Although the stuff included is washable so it cleans easily off hands, faces & even walls, I just felt that for the size of the box & the price it was not good value & I was really disappointed.What is there seems to be good quality, although the crayons break easily & require quite a lot of force to mark the page as well as gently handling so as not to break them, but it's a big let down to open the box & find there is more to the plastic moulded base the items are held in then there is contents to use.You can fit all of it (other than the 3 dough pots & the colouring book) into a pencil case.When I say colouring book I mean fold out length of card with a few pictures to colour in, not an actual book.I might pay £15 for this because it does look like a big present which little kids tend to love, but at over £20 I think it's overpriced.

This set is incredible for keeping little one's busy! It includes 6 x large pencils that fit my 3 year old Granddaughter's hands perfectly, 1 x pencil sharpener that with assistance my Granddaughter can use, 8 x large felt-tip pens that would make any little one happy, 3 x 100g pots of modelling clay that didn't make as much mess as I thought they would, 1 x box of modelling accessories and 1 x colouring book.I can't reccomend these enough for little people when it's rainy weather, there was a storm recently and keeping Children inside happy and busy is a difficult thing to do so when I broke these out for my Granddaughter she was completely thrilled and this kept her engaged and consumed for hours.The pens are amazing quality and could really been seen very vividly on the paper, the modelling clay was even a great enjoyment for her and she spent so long using her imagination to build beautiful towers, and even Dinosaurs.I reccomend this set and can't get over how amazing the price is for everything you receive in this pack! Just wow.

I have a child who has had a hard time learning the names of color. She can sort and match but naming and verbal identification has been difficult. This allowed me to hold something and ask for that same something in some color. Where sorting tasks seem harder to get that vocabulary in because she focuses on the visual discrimination. With this when she brought me the right one she could put it in but the wrong one and she couldn't. It helped connect the verbal aspect of color naming she struggles with, with the visual discrimination of the color she can do easily.The tubes are made from cardboard. There is room to add a few more color items.I didn't realize what a mess play dough was until I had kids of my own! Omg. I clean up hundreds of little beads of play dough for a half hour after every time we get it out and play with it. Some of you are probably saying to yourselves that I'm doing it wrong and I would say you're probably right. I screw up more stuff than I get right as a parent and I am probably failing play dough.

I ordered this play set for my 6 year old daughter as she’s so interested in all things art including drawing, colouring, creating, etc…This set is really inclusive as you have several different things in the set including felt tip colouring pens, stencils and play dough.I think it really encourages creativity in children and allows them to express themselves via art, plus keeps them busy!My daughter will play with the various pieces for ages at a time, and always manages to find something new to create, even by just adding some paper and such to the set.I’d also say it would be suitable as a sort of sensory play for those who enjoy different colours, textures, etc and can be played with safely from around age 3.I like that the set is nicely presented and brightly coloured.It presents well to be able to gift.
