We are huge fans of Color Wonder. One thing I love about Color Wonder is that the items are mix and match. Luckily, we have several other colors of color wonder markers, several pads and coloring books, finger paints, and additional stencils which made this a better toy than what's included.
First, although this is "mess-free" it's really not 100% mess free. When using this toy you'll want to have a towel ready to wipe the stencils off because it will spray on the stencil as well as the paper.
My biggest complaint with this toy is that the 3 stencil sheets included don't work too well with an airbrush. You'll unfortunately end up stenciling nearby designs creating quite a mess on the paper. A set of individual stencils with wide borders might have pushed this up a star and made all the difference.
The only two markers included are yellow and black. I think Crayola, the company of many colors, should have included at least 4 markers. Luckily I had several more Color Wonder markers on hand so our creative juices were not stinted.
Considering the price of this toy, I would have expected more than one pad of 30 sheets. Two pads would have been great.
The batteries installed easily, it takes 4 size "C" batteries, which are not included. Luckily I had a pack of 6 on hand I had picked up at the dollar store to have on hand for occasions like this.
Overall, I think the toy is well-designed. It's fun to use but the accessories were a disappointment, most notably the stencils.
Creative children might just enjoy the regular color wonder pads and markers by themselves. + See Full Customer Review |  |
