My daughters enjoyed this toy but only for a short while. They still take it out once in a while.
Wash-out:
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3HM25V7B7E18N This gizmo is fun for about 6 minutes and 20 seconds, not including set-up time. It's okay to a point once you're using the coloring pages or stencils supplied, but doesn't encourage self-expression or creativity. Pros:
1. No mess, other than the occasional splatter of white stuff, which is easy to clean up.
2. Sprayer makes a professional sounding noise
3. Includes... more info
Junk:
My daughter got this for Christmas and she loved it. She is very artsy, and I really thought this would be cool. But first of all, it does take forever to show up on the paper. The markers are much better. But what makes the toy junk is that it stopped working in less than a month. It still makes the spraying sounds, but nothing comes out. We were very good to clean out the nozzle between each use but it still crapped out. What a waste of money!!!
Children lost interest immediately!:
We just opened this gift -- it looks like fun -- but wow -- how lame! The sprayer takes forever to show up on the paper. The kids sprayed and sprayed and then you have to sit and wait for the color to appear. The markers work much better and are almost instant. This is very boring. They tried it and then switched to tracing the stencils with the regular markers. What a lot of equipment/batteries/expense for what was ultimately markers and paper.
