Does anyone know how many ideas are in the idea book? Is it worth the price to get the sorted beads with the book, or should I go for a book alone?

There are over 400 ideas in the book. One thing to look out for - some of the ideas require a specially shaped board. My son used the book to get started, but was soon searching on the internet for patterns. I did buy him the small shapes board kit - he only used the circle though to make Hunger Games logos. I would get the sorted beads - sorting can suck the life out of an art project. Be careful when opening the sorting box, we gave it to a friend and he opened it upside down, requiring a Great Fuse Bead Sort.

I don't know exactly how many ideas are in the book. My kis love the idea book and the sorted beads. We have bought the large container of mixed beads and they hate sorting them.

It has a lot of ideas. It has several pages with 8-10 things on the pages. The other books often have patterns though. My child loves the sorted beads. Otherwise she wants me to help her pick out the color she wants.

you can use this size bead . they are 11/0 seed beads if that helps. most are usable , you may have to cull some to get the best ones as they are not a big name brand like miyuki or toho. Hope this helps. You tube has many wonderful free tutorials on friendship pins, just make sure if you plan to sell them you get permission from the author of the tutorial .

It comes with a few recipes/ideas but not many. Also look out for the blue goo that seeps out of it. I tried 2 of these and both had this problem. Otherwise a great concept that needs refining.

There are about 250 puzzles. If you find you really like this I would highly recommend the full featured version of Jigsaws Galore (don't know if Amazon sell it)--it allows you to download additional sets of jigsaw puzzles and you can change the puzzle features and even use your own photos as puzzles. (I am addicted!)

There are 50 puzzles on the disc. It all depends on how difficult you want to make it. You can go as high as you want, I think. I went to 5,000 and it came up showing almost 5,000. A window will come up about customizing if you want more pieces than it shows. It is all on the Preview page. Thank you for asking and I hope this helps. They are a lot of fun to do.

I suggest your next purchase should be three sets of the 100 piece clear colours. Seriously! Make gifts of them, one birthday at a time.

Carmen they send you three to four styles for making the shoes. However you can be creative and make limitless designs. The shoe I made wasn't from the designs included! It's fun it's easy!!? Be adventours and allow your hands to be as creative as your imagination!

it comes with templates to make little animal shapes, and some are just designs. a clear plastic holder, and patterns to put under it as a guide. it is a great activity for kids, because they can do the whole thing themselves, not ironing. just spritz with water and let it dry! you will need more beads eventually.

I am sorry but it doesn't come with a book, maybe make up your own book to inspire your child in some way. Maybe some kind of success story!

Some are the same shapes e.g. the squares. But there are new shapes, like the wheels, and triangles/squares with hole in middle of it. It's a fun supplement to the 100 piece for building more imaginary objects. My son enjoys both every much. I think this set is worth buying when the kids run out of ideas (which is unlikely) with the 100 piece or when multiple kids fight for the now limited 100 pieces.

I only received numbers in my set. There were quite a few duplicates, and a good amount of ugly dice, which are good for random outings where you might lose them. If you're looking for number dice you will get a few great looking dice you can't find anywhere, like gems in a pile of garbage, but for number dice you're best to look somewhere else.

I was just looking at the We R Memory Keepers board and consider getting one for my daughter. I have the Martha Steward because I don't make envelopes as must as I score card stocks. The MS is a must have for me (until a better board comes along). The envelope punch maker, according to my daughters review, is a better bet if your goal is mostly envelopes. It also appears to be able to make nice paper bows, and matchboxes also. you can also check out a few youtube links on both items. The main question is; Mostly scoring? or mostly envelopes? Hope this helps. Merry Christmas!

Anysley Newman is just one of the sellers. You can see all the sellers if you click where it says "14 new from $2.99 2 used from $8.95 8 collectible from $4.45." Some of the sellers say that they are selling complete sets but a few of them say that they are just selling 100 tiles, NOT complete sets. If you are going to use them for a game or a craft project using specific letters, then it is important to read the seller's whole description.

I did not realize there are so many variations? The picture I am seeing is the Hasbro game (4 & up) - totaly different shapes than the original game when I was little? You are right...looks like only 9 pieces. I purchased the MB/Milton Bradley (5 & up)...25 pieces & the SAME exact board as the original. This also has a compartment on the back of the game to store all the pieces. HOPE THIS HELPS!!! TAKE CARE! :)

Hi there! I just looked inside - it actually has 6 little rings. Each entry is great - not tiny like most (book not 8 x 11 though)! Each page has 4 separate entries per page, front and back . I love it because of the room you have for multiple phone numbers, email addresses, birthdays, and of course address. As you know there is room for 300 entries. When I got it, the only thing I had to do was move some of the pages to the letters of alphabet that I needed most entries. It really is the best I have ever had. The other ones I had in past were either too small, had very little space to fill in info on contact, or were a lot of trouble and heavy to carry around. I wish I could take a pic of inside of it for you. I hope this helps.

Did you buy the set as one? It should have come with the table topper...they are two boards that were in the box upon purchase. If you bought it "second hand" and don't have the toppers, try calling Toys R Us...Imaginarium is their brand. I bet you can buy the toppers. But really, our kids never use the roads and such...the train covers up too much of it anyway. If you just have a flat surface the train would work all the same. I know it looks neat but reality is the train gets played all the time but cars on the road and such...not really. There just isn't a lot of space for the cards to roam while the track is set up.
