    Loved all of it!

    We really loved this whole crate! The pizzeria automaton, soap carving, Rota game, bruschetta recipe, and especially the Calco water coloring! Information about places like Murano was interesting, too. And the Leonardo DaVinci graphic novel is excellent!

    Best yet!

    Favourite one so far. Loved making the pizzeria. It was relatively simple, but still challenging, and it worked. The paintings were great too, looked just like a real one!

    Turned out amazing

    The multiple activities, especially the water color painting activity with the carbon paper. It turned out amazingly well, even for my young 7 year old boy. It was really beautiful.
