Suggested ages vary widely by kit. Common labels include "3 years and up," "6 years and up," and "14 years and up," and some kits are marketed as "Adult" or "All ages."

Kit contents vary from single-piece sets to large craft bundles. Examples range from one-piece or small multi-piece kits (e.g., 4 pieces) up to foam craft sets described as 100+ pieces, often plus stickers and other decorating supplies.

Finished kits can serve as ornaments or decor: some are photo-frame ornaments with magnets for fridge display, others are freestanding tabletop or mantel decorations, and certain lit paperboard kits are painted and used with lighting for display.
