This is truly a "busy-box" that has fun things to do and is Educational. My son is 3.5 and he loves it, so I love it. I'd buy it again. Kindergarten is no longer a fun little class where you begin to learn. (like in my day 50'COUGH'40 yrs ago) Kids now-a-days have to practically have a college education before they'll let you in! I love learning myself, and knowledge *is* the key to success (imho) but wow! and while I'm glad I can still afford to have my son in preschool 2 days a week, we needed something at home, and Ready, Set, School Activity Box is really great! It includes:
1. Washable notebooks including a washable felt marker.
2. A cute little tennis shoe with BIG laces and a fun little chart to teach how to tie a (bow) shoe lace (yes even though most of the world is now velcro)
3. Plastic scissors for children under 5! (hard to find in my area)
4. Stickers, crayons, stencils
5. Writing by tracing letters (abc's), dot-to-dot, shapes, colors, numbers (on above notebooks)
This is a great buy, whether you're a busy parent, or aren't crafty enough to make the things in the box.
This is a wonderful activity for preschoolers.My daughter is almost 4 and chooses 1 or 2 activities to do each day.They are very well made with bright colors and hours of fun.My daughter loved it so much we bought it for her friend who is also enjoying it.

First, I want to say that we LOVE Alex's craft box kits!We have so many even doubles of some.I ordered this boxed set for my 3 year old for Easter.We were so excited to sit down and open it.Our excitement didn't last too long however.The safety scissors are a big disappointment.They are difficult to use and can barely cut.There is safety and then there is useless.These are useless.Everything that is perforated (snake, lion,...) rips when you try to pop it out.I am an adult very experienced with perforated edges (1st grade teacher) and these are horrible.We ruined the snake to the point of my 3 year old crying.I tried taping it, but I am still angry. And this kit does not include a glue stick which you need like the other Alex kits.So I could keep complaining because everything seems tainted now, but I'll stop.I would have returned it, but my sonwanted to play so bad.P.S. I have opened the sneaker yet.I hope it is a good product because it looks cute.

This box has a nice variety of activities for my two 3.5year old boys. In addition to the usual stickers and coloring it has three (one large, two smaller) nicely colored wipe off writing pads to practice numbers, shapes, letters and dot to dot activities as well as the lace up practice. My favourite of the various Alex sets that we have tried to date

My daughter loves this toy and is 13 months old.Buy it elsewhere though.It is about $6 in stores and I paid $12 on this site because I never bothered to check the store first.My mistake and I won't make it again.But definetly a great toy.
