Photographs and descriptions of two “Kids Workshop Community Events Kits” were submitted with your inquiry. The “Kids Workshop Community Events Kits” are comprised of a series of different children’s educational activity kits. The products are intended to be purchased and built in a retail store setting to promote an enjoyable and educational activity for young children with adult supervision. Each craft kit includes an instruction sheet and a parent’s “Discovery Education” guide. There are two kits under consideration for this ruling. Item number 72075-2, is a “Plant Starter Kit”. The kit contains pine wood pieces, assembly hardware, paper instruction sheet, decorative stickers, and 2 plastic cups. The completed kit forms a planter stand with 4 legs and 2 slots to hold the plastic cups. Item number 72098-2, is a “Veterans Keepsake Box Kit”. The kit contains pine wood pieces, assembly hardware, paper instruction sheet, decorative stickers, and clear plastic window sheet. By following the enclosed instructions in each kit, children 5 years of age or older will derive amusement creating and building their own do it yourself projects. In each case, the craft kit’s amusement value is greater than the utilitarian value of the finished article.
