Toys and Games Reviews of New Crayola® Color Wonder? Sprayer
Customer Review: Doesn't hold their attention
Summary: 3 Stars
We've had this toy for awhile. Neat concept, but it's only good as a rainy day toy. Keep it hidden until the kids are deathly bored and bring it out. They get a kick out of it for an hour and then it's back in the box. Leave it out, and the kids never want to play with it. Bring it out once in a while and it's a hit.
It's easy to set up. My 5 and 7 year olds can do it without help. The kids like the special paper it comes with. They spray blank pages all over and pictures pop out like magic. Once that runs out, I just let them play with the standard Color Wonder refill paper. They use the stencils to create scenes and color them up with the Color Wonder markers.
The spray lasts a long time. We haven't had to replace it yet after quite a few uses.
I think the kids would like this sprayer better if the colors would come out more quickly when they spray, but this is a problem with all Color Wonder products. It's the lag time that kills the fun. It's sometimes hard to know if the sprayer is working or where we've sprayed. We have to wait to see if we see any colors. Despite that, this toy still has a life at this house.
Customer Review: My Kids Love It! Mess-Free Fun!!
Summary: 4 Stars
My kid loves this product. He'd been asking for it for awhile and we finally got it. It's very easy to use, especially for kids who need to work on motor skills. Each "color" vile that you attach to the sprayer is a clear liquid. However, when you spray it on the special Color Wonder paper, the color appears. So, it's really not messy if the kids miss the paper. No smell problems either. Don't confuse this product with a REAL airbrush, since the treated color wonder paper and the toy sprayer limit the amount of art you can really do. But, it works GREAT on the special coloring books designed for Color Wonder. The stencils are fun too and add significantly to the creative part of the kit. You also may not need to use as much "ink" as you think you do. The colors seem to darken as they liquid dries. Also the refills are a bit pricey, but not too bad and the ink seems to last for awhile. Overall, I give this high marks. Just remember this is a kid's toy and not a serious artistic toolkit.Customer Review: So if its Bright Colors youre lookin' for....
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been reading several reviews for the spray-type coloring toys. And it seems most are just disappointed in the bright colors, and the refills and buying refills. Well, I would give a suggestion that I read from another reviewer(would give credit if I could remember her name). Though here it is:
These couple of items should be in your kitchen cupboard, or buy them for less than five bucks:
1) Food Coloring.
2) Corn Starch.
3) Water.
First> Mix 50% Water to 50 % Cornstarch.
Then > Drop several drops of a food coloring into the mixing bottle(Would probably use a lot of coloring to get a bright color)
Shake> The bottle to mix thoroughly.
Pour > The colored mix into the sprayer, and there you go.
Clean : remember to clean well and to mix the ingredients or else it will get clogged up very easily.
Customer Review: Not Quite As Cool as the Box Shows
Summary: 2 Stars
The Color Wonder Sprayer is easy to set up and use. However, the colors are very dull and take a long time to develop on the paper. Also, the sprayer sprays very broad strokes of color so it is impossible to create any specific detail on a picture. It works best for painting one page half one color and half another color. A little boring for long term use and not very creative.Customer Review: this toy is okay
Summary: 2 Stars
This product was fun for about 30 minutes then my chanld losst interest due to the fact that the toy did not leave much to the imagination. The colors were dull and you can not draw very well to enhance the detail.
It is not messy though.
