Long-term re-review

Still worth it after 12 months? MOSTLY

The useful test is whether it keeps earning a place in the family routine after the first few weeks.

A practical editorial status based on the current product set, not a guarantee of future use.

Sushi Go! is officially rated 8+ and requires reading. It is a good family step-up when the child is ready for those rules, but not a universal seven-year-old pick.

Still worth it after 12 months? MOSTLY

Still used for projects, but the best materials need topping up.

A genuinely open-ended craft box with enough materials to keep the first idea from being the last. It feels considered rather than overstuffed.
