Art Jar full of junk

About Me Parent

Pros

Cons

• Messy
• Poor Quality

Best Uses

Comments about Alex Toys 1003096 Alex Toys - Giant Art Jar:

Unless you need to stuff a pinata, the contents of this jar are largely useless. It seems like the toy manufacturer's elaborate method of throwing away garbage: what usable elements there are will be quickly used up (after being fought over by siblings, their quantity being too little to satisfy more than one child), leaving you with a pile of shredded paper for your recycling bin, and a giant mess to clean up. Absolute garbage. Shame on the toy company.

Comments about Alex Toys 1003096 Alex Toys - Giant Art Jar:

Santa brought this for my daughter last Christmas when she was 4, we have use it over and over, and we don't run out of things to do with it! We use it on everything from decorating for doll b-day parties, seasonal decorations, cards, ornaments, and the list goes on. It's totally worth it, nice large plastic jar that you can keep adding to when you see clearance craft items whenever you are out shopping, keeps it fresh! My daughter LOVES LOVES LOVES this thing!!! (so do I...lol)

It may get a bit messy, but nothing you can't wipe off on the floor and quickly sweep up! They could take out about half of the stringy paper and put in a few more things, and you'd still have enough of those "fillers" to last a lifetime.

Comments about Alex Toys 1003096 Alex Toys - Giant Art Jar:

This product is just O.K. It's stuffed with 80% colored, filler, confetti-like paper, and we didn't really get what we expected. I'd purchase something else for arts and crafts as this set is too expensive for what you really get.
