Usually ships in 3 to 5 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (Didn't make me smile) 『This product was a flop, it did not excite my daugher after the first painting. We could not get the swirl to corporate, regardless of the amount of drops added. I would not purchase again for anyone.Crayola Color Explosion Designer』
(solution refills not necessary) 『Even though I am not thoroughly impressed with this product, my kids (ages 5 and 6) seem to think it is fun enough. We used up the solution very quickly, so we tried using drops of water instead. IT WORKS! I know there is something other than water in the solution because it takes more water than solution to get the picture to work. But it DOES indeed work with water.』
(Don't waste your money on another worthless toy) 『My 6 year old son saw this on tv and thought he had to have it. He got it for his birthday, he literally opened it put in batteries and played around with it for 25 minutes trying to get it to do something, then asked for my help, it just didn't do anything, you drip a liquid on the paper and it shows some color thats already on the paper and whirls messy oil around the inside, he said, "oh lets take this back." So that is what we did, get a couple notepads and markers would be way better than this. It looks nothing like the commercials on tv, sadly this is just another toy that wastes parents time and money.』
(A Granddaughter's Joy) 『I gave this to my granddaughter for her sixth birthday. She lives in another state, but her mother told me she plays with it every single day. My granddaughter told me it was her very favorite present that she received. (I still haven't told her father, my son, yet.)
To her, every picture is a work of art!』
(refills non-existent) 『This product worked ok but for $27 it is not worth the money. It is neater than the spin art of the 70's but you have no choice of color as you did when you were dripping actual paint -- it comes with paper already colored for you and the clear liquid exposes the colors already there. It's still messy, the liquid is a gel-goo that gets everywhere, and it spews black goo into the sides of the unit. The refills cost $7 and I have been searching for a year and cannot find them anywhere except online (with $6 shipping charge). The funky different papers they advertise cannot be found anywhere, not even online. Plus, to get the paper to fit in the unit you have to fold it -- huh? That's kind of dumb, it should have been manufactured to fit, the way the old spin art used to. If you want spin art, buy a spin art, because this unit is terrible. Don't waste your money.』 『The Crayola Color Explosion Spinner lets you create wild multicolored, 3-D effects with a single color-reveal marker. The unique clear-ink marker works only with black Color Explosion paper, revealing hidden colors for amazing designs.
Set includes: Spinner with variable and strobe lights, Color Explosion clear solution and marker, 10 sheets of unique Color Explosion Paper and Idea Guide.
』 『The Crayola Color Explosion Spinner helps children explore their creative side as they make spin-art using a special marker and black Color Explosion paper. This fun and creative toy provides hours of imaginative fun for ages six through nine.

Usually ships in 3 to 4 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (one time use) 『My 3 year old and I played with this toy today. The paint is in the brush, but it is very difficult to squeeze it out. I ended up squeezing big globs out for my child to spread. She enjoyed it once we used that method. I at first wondered why it only came with 3 pieces of paper, but we found out shortly that we only needed 2. We made 2 paintings, and we drained all 3 brushes dry doing so. It was a 10 dollar one-use-only toy. Maybe we'll use the paper for another color wonder product. My advice is to buy some good washable paints and real brushes. It'll be a better experience for you and your child.』
(Very disappointed) 『I recently purchased this item for my daughter who has been wanting to paint. I thought this would be great because the paint is in the brush and it won't be messy. Although all this is true, both of us found it very frustrating that it was difficult to get out of the tube. If this is made for children, shouldn't it be easier to use and should an adult really have trouble with it?』
(Wonderful concept, needs work) 『My daughter is two, almost 3 in 3 months. She likes it well enough, but the fact that the paint takes a moment to react and show up is frustrating for her. I love that the paint is inclosed in the brush, but is difficult to get out to paint with and I hesitate showing her she can squeeze it. The whole point was to keep it in the brush, yes? Perhaps if they had caps to prevent it drying out and the brushes could stay moist with paint? The paint comes out of one place, so its all concentrated in the center of the brush, so you will need to work it in the bristles, or have big globs of paint and go throught it faster. On a side note, the paint dries crunchy on clothes. Also, my local Target has this set with an extra brush, for 9.99 and Michaels has it for 11.99, and no shipping!』 『Enjoy mess-free Color Wonder painting all in one kit! It brushes on just like real paint with vibrant colors. Includes three paint-filled Color Wonder brushes, three large sheets of Color Wonder paper that unfold to measure 2.75'L x 2.25'W.』
IPhone 3G used's review (Great toy) 『We've had these for a year and are considering buying more. Our 6 year old son, 4 1/2 year old son, and two 4 1/2 year old daughters consistently play with these tiles. They are constantly creating all sorts of different buildings and creations. We highly recommend them.』
(My 4-year old loves his Magna Tiles) 『My son received his first set of Magna Tiles as a gift. He loves to build with them and he was only limited by the number of tiles. We purchased a second set so that he can build to new heights. I love watching his creativity blossom when he plays and they are very easy to store. I would highly recommend Magna Tiles.』
(Good age span) 『I purchased the Magna tiles as a birthday gift for a 5 year old who is very active and tends to drive his mom crazy running around the house all day. The tiles keep him busy for quite awhile and he is really enjoying them. His older (8 year old) brother loves them too and it is an opportunity for them to actually work together cooperatively (at least so far!). Based on the mother's glowing thanks, I highly recommend them.』
(Awesometastic.) 『This product was thuroughly enjoyed by the 3 year old, the 2 year old and, sadly, the 24 year old. The pieces are durable and will last the children's lifetime, more than likely. I would highly recomment this product if it was about $30 cheaper. As it stands, I only lightly recommend this product highly.

(It's a toss up as to who loves this toy most!) 『My son received this for his 2nd birthday a few months ago, because of his intrest in it at a local children's museum. All I can say is that I'm uncertain who loves it more, him or his parents! It certainly sparks creative thinking as we try to outdo each other in our creations! I didn't realize that I had it in MYSELF to be so creative. This toy just brings it out of you. I swear I find myself playing with it for long periods of time when I'm actually just supposed to be putting it away! It's quite peaceful actually! The mathmatical concepts it's already teaching my son make it priceless as well! He's learning spacial reasoning, critical thinking (will this structure hold if I...) as well as shapes, colors and creativity.
If you are like me, I faithfully read all the reviews before purchasing an item and went with others suggestions and purchased the clear tiles. Personally I like the clear tiles! The uses seem to be endless. I must add that although it is a large monetary investment, I feel it is wiser to purchase the set of 100 as 32 simply isn't enough. This toy will certainly span the ages, thus worth the investment.』 『3 years&up. For young minds taking flat objects and constructing 3-D objects is a new and exciting discovery. Each tile is constructed with bright translucent colors with magnets on all sides. The secret is the unique ability to attract even when they are flipped. 32 piece set.』

Usually ships in 4 to 6 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (Great for a variety of activities) 『I bought these at a yard sale and my son loves them. He especially likes the yellow one with the sun/mirror and the different textures. I like them because they stimulate learning and can be used as he gets older for stacking.』
(LEAD ALERT! DO NOT BUY!!!) 『DO NOT BUY THESE BLOCKS! A warning was issued in 2007 due to high amounts of lead in the blue block. Supposedly, if you already owned the set you could send in your blue block for a replacement. Every state has different laws regarding safety warnings, and unfortunately in NY state the stores do not have to remove items like this from the shelf unless it is officially recalled. I still see them sold in older packaging at drugstores and at Target! How pathetic is that? Your child will most probably be putting these in their mouth!』
(Great for certain kids) 『My very rambunctious daughter had these when she was a baby 5 years ago. She never liked them but she always wanted vigorous play. I have to buy them again as I only have 1 left and my 5 month old son loves it. Easy to pick up, soft to chew, and I don't have to worry about him hurting himself. Personality-wise he is more laid back. I think these are great if your child is okay with something that doesn't have flashing lights and music.』
(Nice blocks) 『At first I thought these would be a dud, but as my son has gotten older, he has started enjoying them more. He is now 5 months and plays with them by kicking them and picking them up, holding and turning them. The large shape is, I think, helping him learn how to grasp better. He also likes the sounds they make and the different textures. They are very light, though, so it is easy for him to kick or knock them out of his reach (he is not to mobile yet).』
(Keeps baby busy and happy) 『My almost-seven-month old loves his blocks. He can chew on them, squish them, knock them over and roll them around, stare at the pictures... they're great. He sits on the floor and keeps himself entertained for quite awhile. And they're easy to clean.』

Usually ships in 3 to 5 weeks IPhone 3G used's review (Not great for toddlers.) 『I bought this product for a 2 1/2 year old as a mess-free alternative to crayons and paints. I believe this is the marketing angle. With that in mind: The soft sticks crumble when they are colored with. For young children who may turn them up too far, they break off in larger chunks as well. The Color Wonder colors do not appear as soon as the product is applied to the paper. There is a bit of a delay which ended with my child scribbling harder which caused more crumbling. The material the soft sticks are made out of is somewhat greasy. Although they may not mark some surfaces, I still don't want this greasy material mashed into my sofa.
My daughter does enjoy playing with this product but I don't enjoy the mess. So if you are looking for a mess free way for your young child to color, I don't believe this product will satisfy.』
(Not one of their best products) 『First, I'd like to say we love the color wonder markers and the fingerpaint. This product has the soft sticks that are almost like the waxy finger paints in a stick form. Think of your child using a chapstick to draw with and you'll get the idea. We purchased two of these for our 5 year and 2.5 year olds. From the minute they opened it, the waxy "paint" part of the sticks were breaking off. It became almost impossible to draw with these sticks and my children were very disappointed with them. They did love the coloring books that came with this kit and went on to use the books with the color wonder MARKERS (which I highly recommend.) That said, it's too pricey for just the book and a shame the sticks don't work better. Please save your money on this one and go for the Color Wonder Markers or Fingerpaints instead.』
(Can be had for less) 『These Color Wonder items are fantastic. My 2-year-old loves the markers, and I just got him the paint brushes. They do not make a mark on anything except for the special Color Wonder paper. I just discovered the soft sticks today while looking for the paint brushes. I came across this very package for five less than advertised above. I didn't buy it because I don't need or want the coloring books included - I have about 10 already. Nevertheless, this is a great package for someone with young children who doesn't yet know the wonder of Color Wonders.』 『Mess-Free Soft Sticks create bright super-smooth colors on Color Wonder Paper. Includes four colors (red, yellow, green, blue) and an extra-large 18-page Color Wonder coloring book.』
