First let me start off saying the boxnis great, everything is organized and I loved all the reading for my kid (she loved it too)
Only problem we had were the paints for the clock were all dry. I currently have added water to see if it will make them work. If they don't ill just go to the dollar store and buy paint, but it was disappointing that an item for the main project didn't work.
My daughter loved the crystal and checks it every day to see how it has grown.
