Easy and fun craft
My two kids had a great time with this craft. We only had hot glue gun available to us, so they required some more assistance. Easy to download and print off pattern and easy to assemble.

Good for my 5 - 8 yo grandchildren
Marg5, there is a tab 'Get Patterns' next to the 'How to Make It' tab on the webpage. I didn't check the materials list, so didn't get glue. Not a big deal, I just got some later.

Won't Even Download
Besides the lack of materials, the pattern won't even download, so I have to find something else to do with this stuff now.

Just cut and glue!
I had no trouble printing! I have a three year old so the cutting was basically my job but it was quick, so I didn’t lose her attention span. Tropical bird came out easy and cute!
