Kids' Crafts - Martian Matter Alien Maker

Saturday April 5, 2008
Kids' Crafts - Martian Matter Alien MakerMy kids are almost at the end of their spring break. Around halfway through I ran out of ideas to entertain them. Along came the Martian Matter Alien Maker kit - wasn't that perfect timing!? All excited, I opened up the box and was pleasantly surprised that there wasn't much to do to set it up. All the materials you need are ready to go. The kids pounced upon it eagerly and then there was no stopping them.

I really liked the Martian Matter Alien Matter primarily because of two reasons. One, it's hard to find a good craft kit which boys feel isn't too sissy to play with. Two, it is really well organized and the materials and pieces tuck away nicely within the main holding container. Most importantly, the kids had a great time playing with this nifty alien maker and didn't want to stop.
