My 4 year old daughter loves to dress up as a princess. This wand is an integral gear. They used it almost every day - even her friends. So far, he is still quite, not bent and looks pretty. The tinsel threads have gone before from, but you can easily fix again with a piece of Scotch tape. The springs are beautiful fluffy. The only downer is that of course the star points are relatively hard and the wand to conjure fond course is swung around. Risk of injury if several children are playing together. Could backfire. Luckily so far everything good and if only the girls playing with it, it is usually quite well-behaved! ;-)
