I used this kit with my 10 ear old and 6 year old.
Usually, when we carve pumpkins, my children give up easily because they are tired. I end up doing most of the carving and have an aching arm the next day. This kit made the process much easier.
Yes, they look like giant cookie cutters. No, they are not the most sturdy of "cookie cutters" but they do the job. None of the cutters used became bent, but I could see it happening.
My kids had a great time picking out the shapes and creating their pumpkin masterpieces.
For my kids, it was a little difficult to hold the cutter in place with one hand and hammer with the other. We solved this by having an adult hammer until the cutter was in place. It also helped to lay the pumpkin on it's side on a chair (on a towel for cushion) so that my youngest would have better leverage.
It was helpful to have a needle nose pliers and a spoon. I used both to push the stencil through the pumpkin when it got stuck ( our pumpkins were thicker then the cutter). It was also slightly difficult (but not impossible) to get the piece of pumpkin out of the inside of the stencil. That is where the pliers also came in handy. I gripped the stencil with the pliers and used the spoon handle to push the pumpkin piece through. I wonder if somehow cooking the pumpkin (boiling water or baking in the oven) would soften it up enough to easily get the pumpkin piece out....
There are enough pieces to get creative with faces, or to create a pattern (my son did a video game themed pumpkin- it is very abstract....).
I am not very good at carving pumpkins- the paper stencils are too complicated for me. This kit made carving much easier and more enjoyable.
I am very glad I made this purchase!

Almost perfect
I would have loved to give this product a 5 star rave review but after using it with 5 elementary-preschool aged children 4 is the best i can muster, the concept is amazing each kid was able to pick the eyes nose /mouth they wanted and within a minute or two their pumpkin was complete which is fantastic for young kids with no patience or carving skills their were no cuts or close calls, with that being said their were a couple of semi fatal flaws one these are not super sturdy using a rubber mallet as suggested still led to a couple of bent cutters. Also with almost all of them we had to pull them back out with pliers that led to few few more dinks in the metal they could really use some sort of handle or grip spot and lastly the mouths were so large that they ended up a bit bent from getting pounded in a bit crookedThe moral of this story is I would buy these again in a heartbeat given the amount of convenience they added to our pumpkin party but I also would have paid double for heavy duty steel punches* In pics. The punch ones are very clean and professional looking in comparison to the kids who needed to freehand
