Great product my kids loved it, I also like the paper that came with it explaining all the pieces of armor and it had verses on it.

The Kids I gave this to are ages 2, 4 and 7. They are still playing with the armor set after 1 week, even with new presents they received. I love it because it serves a dual purpose: as it enlightens kids (parents, too) about God and His salvation and gives kids a tangible toy to play with...other than video games. A great gift and educating toy!

This new set is redesigned to fit better. We bought our first set 5 yrs ago and the helmet didn't stay on and all of the parts were sized to big for our 3-7 y/o's. However, they loved playing with this set. After years of wear, we needed a new set of armor.
So, this year we bought one for our (nearly 4 y/o) for Christmas. It fits perfectly! From the helmet on down...no adjustments needed to keep it from falling off. The only issue is the best needs more velcro. Now, our 7 y/o wants a set, too! Warriors for God!

5 star idea. Quite sturdy. 1 or 2 star for sizing. :(
As others have mentioned, the set is a wonderful way to visually teach the armor of God from Ephesians 6:11. Technically, the shin guards should be *shoes* of peace (not shin guards in my Bible version).
The helmet barely fits my 2 year old! Worst part of the set. Anyone older than 2 must balance it on his head with the mask portion near the hairline (like the brim of a baseball). Age 2-7 will probably have a hard time getting it to not fall off.
Breastplate and shin guards have adjustable straps (and you could cut off the excess if you desire). The breastplate best fits a 5-10 yr old but works okay for almost any size (long straps can be criss-crossed to fit a smaller child).
Belt = 24"-28" waist. That's big. It should fit most 6 yr olds if you put it on on top of the breastplate. Attaches with velcro, so you could probably modify this with extra velcro.
Shield is perfect. Sword is 18" and well made. It's the perfect size for preschoolers, and a bit short for older kids (more like a dagger, but that's okay).
With this set, I encourage fighting the "forces of darkness" and defending or protecting someone. I bought only one set so they wouldn't fight each other with this set - sends the wrong message if using it as a teaching tool. They attack the air mostly... Sometimes they do play fight each other but the other person uses a different weapon (like foam) or a ninja costume or someone pretending to be a dragon or something.
Sizing is off, and I hope the company fixes that with a newer version. PLEASE?! In the meantime, it's worth putting up with the mismatched sizes. I'm glad we got it. :)

This was a great teaching tool to bring the armor of God to life for the kids. Visual tools help make the Bible real for little ones.

My 3 year old son received this as a gift for Christmas. He absolutely loves dressing up in the armor and even remembers what the different pieces represent. The only piece that doesn't stay on well is the breast plate, because we arranged the straps vertically rather than criss-cross (so that our son could put on and take off the breast plate independently).

Love this idea and teaching in play. However, the helmet is too small for both my boys in the right age category listed for this item. The head piece would have fit them when they were 1-2 years old.

I bought this for my four year old grandson for Christmas. He loves to dress up and wanted to be a king. Now he is "a warrior for God!" He loves it, his parents love it, and I am enjoying watching him play with it and also learn about the pieces of armor found in Ephesians 5.

This was a great product to teach our very active 3 and 5year olds about God's armor and how to be good warriors. As opposed to them loving to "fight" and battle with each other all the time!

We were so exited to purchase this set of armor for our son this Christmas. He is almost 3, so some pieces don't fit well, but we bought it as not only a dress-up costume, but a great teaching tool. As an adult, learning about the armor of God was much more clear with the visual aid of a real suit of armor. Seeing how all the pieces fit together and that
you have to have all the pieces on for success in battle will be a great
teaching tool. The order in which the
pieces are put on is very helpful too
for for hitting the message home
more completely.

Great product! I was so excited to find it on your web-site. My son loves it- he asked for the armor of God for Christmas & has played with it several times already. What a great way to enforce the truths he is learning at church!

I am eagerly anticipating giving it to my 3-year-old son. He is at the stage when every stick, cooking spoon is a "sword" so I think he will be thrilled at having "a real thing"! The colors and making of the toy is very good.

I bought a set each for my 3 and 5 year old boys and they adore them! It has been a wonderful way for them to learn about the Armor of God and they love to dress up and play.
My only negative is that it is quite bulky for my 3 year old. He uses it in pieces rather than the whole armor together. The belt is adjustable but does not size small enough for either of my boys.
However, we will have this set for many years and it has already been worth the playtime and Biblical discussion.
