Carson Dellosa – Water Cycle Bulletin Board Set, Classroom Décor, 20 Pieces

Project was a success

Okay, I do like this product. There could be improvements though.First, the portion that uses small(er) pieces to come together as one picture with no moving parts is pretty good. This just affixes to the wall and makes a nice scene of the water cycle. The arrows were all printed backwards, so when placing the arrows on the wall they curved the wrong way and didn’t make a nice circle effect. This was easy to fix, I just flipped them over. Since the backs were plain, I grabbed a marker and drew my own arrows on. Problem solved.This is WAY bigger than I realized it would be. Probably my own fault for not checking dimensions, I’m sure they were probably there. The size becomes an issue for the second portion where you’re supposed to fix two circles together and then spin the back one to see the water cycle. I mean this is huge! I was expecting something that would fit in your hand. It would be okay, but the paper is EXTREMELY thin. I mean, this is just a floppy disaster.Not unfixable though. I ended up gluing each piece to sturdy cardboard to solve the floppy problem. The cardboard I had was sturdy, but thick, so I used white duct tape to cover the edges.This is fine, it’s going to work fine. In fact, I like the huge size of the non-movable portion. The graphics are fine, minus the upside down arrows.This could be a better product if they just used (much) thicker paper, but seeing as how I had to modify all aspects I don’t feel it should receive 5 stars. I’ll end up using it - and liking it - but only with the adjustments that I had to make.I do recommend the product, just know you might have to dig into your DIY techniques to finish it up.

I love that it’s easy to read and fun looking. But the arrows go clockwise, and the rest of the pieces require counterclockwise arrows. So, the arrows don’t look like a circle. So, it looks funny.

Super thin and the arrows curve the wrong direction

I am giving it only three stars because the ARROWS are going the WRONG way when you receive the product! I had to flip them the arrows and use a red Sharpie to color them in to actually use them on the water cycle

LOL They're printed the wrong way so there's no way to get them to look like a circle unless I flip them upside down and color them in myself like another reviewer mentioned.

The arrows are going the WRONG WAY!
