I thought the colors for both the butterfly and the flower were very beautiful and bright. My daughters loved it but too bad they are still too young to start understanding the concept. I need to wait for another year or so to start the kit again. I have a 3 year old and a 6 year old. I didn?t expect my 3 year old to get it but my 6 year old had trouble with the sewing and the string were too long for her short arm.
