A cool toy for five and up! [Posted on 2007-01-01]
I bought this on a whim, and really hoped that it would work as well as I would expect from a Crayola Product. I was not disappointed! It was really easy to set up, and not hard at all to snap the color sprays into the device. My five year old could use this within minutes, and it has been keeping her entertained daily. The stencils are sturdy, it comes with four starter colors and two "wonder" markers and a nice pack of paper to get you started. On the down side, the paper goes quickly! Buy an extra pack, so that you don't have to run out to WalMart!
My only other minor issues: 1)The color does take a few seconds to show up on the paper. If you have used "Wonder" products before, you know this to be true, but I thought it took even a bit of extra time for the color to develope. Just be aware that the paint IS coming out, or you will soak the paper! 2) There is no Off switch, so be aware that this toy will spray if the button is pressed. It won't stain things, but it could make a mess if you aren't paying attention to your active child...

Horrible, simply horrible [Posted on 2007-01-20]
My son got this thing for Christmas. What a waste of plastic and money. The capabilities of the thing do NOT match what the box shows, and while you might think it works like a spray brush, it does not. You have to use THEIR sheets to activate the solution it sprays. It doesn't even spray ink, its some kind of glorp that smells bad. Additionally, it says "mess free", bull pucky -- you have to spray so much to get any real color you make a mess just buy the mass amounts of the glorp you are spraying.

I was very let down by Crayola on this product. We have the cutting toy, and it works fine, but this thing is just crap in a box. The proprietary paper, light colors, pre-defined pictures and general weakness of the strength of the colors made me chuck it in the garbage, where it belongs.

When addapted, this is a fun multipurpose item! [Posted on 2007-10-04]
Okay, so I bought this and didn't realize that it only worked on 'special paper' (it was my first color-wonder purchase). Color wonder does have its ups and downs, but I am to cheap to keep buying refills. So, I popped open the tubes and put my own dye in the vials/tubes! I have definitely have to 100% supervise my 6 and 4 year olds when using this--we use it outside on huge butcher paper pieces. But it is a lot cheaper to refill and no worries on how much ink they use. Heck, I have even used this sprayer to paint a tye-die looking birthday cake! ( I used the edible dye, found in the cake decorating isle)
I am sure Color wonder doesn't want you to do this and doesn't condone it, either.
But, hey it is way fun to mix my own colors and I'm happy knowing I don't have to keep buying over-priced color-wonder dye.

Terrible Product [Posted on 2008-08-28]
We purchased this product for our son. He was excited when he opened the package but disappointed quickly because it just doesn't work. Once you get all of the batteries in, you pop in the color tube and start spraying. Nothing comes out! We can get ink out of the color tube on our own but once you put it into the sprayer, it doesn't blow out. We tried to get it to work over and over again with no success. It is also loud and annoying when it is turned on. We threw it away about 1 month after purchasing it because the store wouldn't accept the return. I wouldn't recommend buying this product.
