Anne Thomas – :
I bought this kit for our Brownies to make at our last meeting of the school year – they were making bracelets for the new Brownies moving up from Daisies to present at the Fly Up/Bridging ceremony. The beads in the kit are fine – you spell Brownie and it’s cute if the girls follow the directions. The bad thing is that you get the same length of wire if you order bracelets or necklaces and you get the same directions – no modification on the number of beads to string or shorter wire. And, it is just wire – you have to cut it yourself which makes for sharp edges. I ended up having to wear a glove like I was a falconer to keep from getting cut to ribbons. I was a little worried about having the girls give these to 1st graders – even after you turn the end when you’re done stringing the beads, it’s still sharp. I did prep all the wire ahead of time so that one side was already twisted over but if I hadn’t done that, the meeting would have been a nightmare. You also need to think about how to explain how to string the letters so that it spells BROWNIE in the right direction. I have 13 girls in my troop and some get things faster than others. I wish I had thought of a simple way to explain ahead of time.
