Cool kitAug 14, 2009
By Marga
This kit is pretty well made. It has all you need to star "silk screening" on paper (and a bandana) right away. You can get cheap t-shirts and bags at a craft store to have something more to silkscreen on.
The kit is very easy to use and the results are pretty good, of course, the older you are and the more adult help you get, the better. But my 7yo can do it by herself (with mixed results).
As often with Michael products, I think it's too expensive for what it is - but I'd buy it again.

It actually works!Jan 08, 2010
By Philly Mom
Wasn't sure what to expect from a toy screen printing machine, but this actually worked! We were able to decorate a T-shirt with designs from the stencils enclosed in the kit, without too much difficulty. The results were quite good, considering the simplicity of this device. The screen printing inks included in the kit make a sharp, clean imprint that looks quite nice. Basically, it's a small, plastic frame, and you load it with a small rectangle of silk, and place a plastic stencil underneath. Then, you just apply the inks with a little rubber squeegee. Couldn't be simpler! The only thing that was a little tricky was that the frame didn't immobilize the silk on all four sides, only at the two ends, so you have to be careful when you apply the ink and make sure you only draw the ink across the frame in one direction, otherwise the silk comes out of the frame. It comes with rectangles of heavy, coated paper that you can use to create your own stencils, also. Everyone was amazed that we could create such cool-looking designs with this smple device! It was easy enough to use that my 7-year-old could make T-shirts with minimal assistance, and she learned about printmaking, and created some really nice designs.

 Hours of Fun!Jan 23, 2009
By Lorraine J. Kovacs
My 8 year old loves this, only problem is she wants screen print everything in the house. So I recomend that you have plenty of items on hand for them to use.

This is a fun toy. My 5 year old granddaughter had tons of fun with it.Sep 12, 2009
By Phyllis H. Pentecost
Although my daughter worked with my granddaughter on this "project", I heard all about it and saw the results of the silk screening. The toy is very creative and I would buy it again for my other grandchildren.

We bought this for a friend's 8th birthday. No complaints. Seems well made and easy enough to use with adult supervision. Great fun adding personality to clothes and such.
