Quick answer

Choose Foil Fun Girl Power (ages 7-13) for older girls who want to decorate personal items like lockers and phones with bold, empowering designs. Pick Foil Fun Unicorn & Princess (ages 4-9) for younger children who love magical, whimsical scenes and need a simpler, age-appropriate craft.

Age range and complexity

The biggest difference between these two Skillmatics Foil Fun kits is the recommended age. Girl Power targets ages 7-13, while Unicorn & Princess is designed for ages 4-9. This isn't just a number—it reflects the complexity of the designs and the level of fine motor skill required. Girl Power includes more intricate sticker shapes and smaller foil areas that suit an older child's dexterity. Unicorn & Princess uses larger, simpler sticker outlines that younger hands can manage without frustration.

If you have a child on the cusp of both age ranges (say, age 7 or 8), consider their patience and craft experience. A confident 7-year-old who enjoys detailed projects may enjoy Girl Power, while a 7-year-old who prefers quick, satisfying results may still be happier with Unicorn & Princess.

Theme and creative output

The themes drive what your child will actually make. Girl Power focuses on fierce, fabulous designs—think bold slogans, empowering symbols, and decorations meant to be displayed on a locker, phone case, or bedroom door. It's about self-expression and attitude. Unicorn & Princess leans into classic fantasy: princesses, fairies, unicorns, and castles. The finished pieces are more storybook-style and work well as wall art or gifts for younger siblings.

Neither theme is better—they serve different creative moods. If your child already loves unicorns and fairy tales, Unicorn & Princess will feel familiar and exciting. If they're starting to define their own style and want something that feels 'grown-up,' Girl Power offers that next step.

Mess-free factor and materials

Both kits are genuinely mess-free—no glue, no paint, no cleanup. They use the same foil transfer method: peel a sticker from the canvas, place a foil sheet color-side up, rub, and lift to reveal a shiny design. The process is identical between the two kits. The only material difference is the sticker shapes and foil color palettes. Girl Power includes more metallic and bold colors, while Unicorn & Princess leans toward pastels and pinks.

Because the technique is the same, you don't need to worry about one kit being harder to supervise or clean up than the other. Both require zero parental supervision per the manufacturer, making them ideal for independent play.

Trade-offs at a glance

  • Age range vs. complexity: Girl Power (7-13) offers more intricate designs that challenge older kids. Unicorn & Princess (4-9) uses simpler shapes that younger kids can complete independently. Match the kit to your child's fine motor skills, not just their age.
  • Theme depth vs. breadth: Girl Power focuses on empowerment and self-expression with a narrower but bolder theme. Unicorn & Princess covers a wider fantasy world (princesses, fairies, unicorns) that appeals to a broader range of young interests. Choose the theme that aligns with your child's current passions.
  • End-use purpose: Girl Power pieces are designed to be functional decorations (locker magnets, phone stickers). Unicorn & Princess pieces are primarily display art or gifts. If your child wants to wear or display their art on personal items, Girl Power is the better fit.
