Expect duplicates
Our girls got these for their birthdays, one a cat set, the other puppies. Neither set had all 12 unique pets in them, as the packaging and item description indicate. After some back and forth, Mindware sent a new set of each, and even then they barely got one of each of the 12. They do have fun digging them up though!

Fun time!
Both kids had a lot of fun digging up their cats. It was a bit difficult for one of them but she was interested enough to continue. They were very excited to see which cat they got and enjoyed using the pamphlet to identify and read about them. There weren't any cat repeats.The balls of yarn looked pretty good. I would've given it five stars if some of the cats didn't have dents on their faces or necks. It looked like some of them got hit with a pan. Other than that almost perfect experience.

Well worth it!!!
My Grand children love everything I get them from Mindware!!! All activities stop when I walk into the room with something from Mindware. The educational experience is worth every penny spent!

Makes a mess
Very, very messy. Bought as Christmas gift for granddaughter and for niece’s daughter. Niece looked at it and said outside toy. My granddaughter did one here and it was very, very messy. Too cold to do outside. She lives in an apartment so, toy was left here to do when she visits. Both these girls love cats, which is why I thought they’d love it, but honestly, it’s creative but a very messy toy.

Fun Cats
Children enjoyed these. They are yarn balls, so cute. They break apart twice as fast as the eggs.
