We ordered 2 packs of 48 pinwheels as a take and make craft for a public library. The pinwheels were a fun project, but we were short 30 of the cardboard flowers! You can't make these work without each of the pieces, so instead of 96 young library patrons receiving crafts, only 66 were able to. It's very frustrating when quality control is lacking.

Not enough pieces to complete the total number of pinwheels stated we would receive and a handful of straws did not fit the attachment.
There were not enough parts to complete the number of pinwheels I purchased, and a handful of the draws did not fit the attachment. I used markers to color the paper part of the pinwheel and pink faded so much by the next day you couldn't tell I even colored it, poor paper quality.

FUN ON A STICK!
Pinwheels are naturally fun. The fact you can "customize" your pinwheel, makes them even better. I really did not expect the quality of the product to be good, but I was so wrong. Since the holidays are near, you would be wise to order several packs. I venture to say, the kids and you will have a wonderful experience.

Pretty, but they don't spin
The pinwheels were easy to put together, and they were fairly sturdy. However, they did not spin well.

Perfect Pinwheels !
This product was just as advertised. We received all the pieces and they worked really well. We had to move the paper portion around on the straw a bit to get it to spin pretty well. The kids loved them and had a blast making them at our library booth during our city's May Day event. We ordered 300 and will definitely order more of these in the future, as they were a hit!

Love these pinwheels!
I work in a library and I did successful outreach programs with these pinwheels with preschool, 2nd Grade, and 4th Grade students. They all loved it! Students did need assembly assistance with the tiny colorful plug at the end. A couple of tips- markers work better than crayons, make sure to peel apart the flower shapes- they sometimes stick together, and make sure to push the plugs down on the peg enough to spin freely- if it's not spinning push it down more!

Great craft project to share
I packed a pinwheel making kit in cellophane bags to put in Operation Christmas Child boxes as a craft for the receiver to have. I printed out the directions and included them in the bags. For a great price it will go to a lot of surprised kids!

Not worth it.
The pinwheels would not stay together or spin. Overall a huge disappointment and waste of money.
