Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have a 6 year old and thought this would be a great art project to do together. However, as fun as this sounds, it is a frustrating experience.
My observations:
-The markers were difficult to use. I had to push and push on them to get the ink flowing and then my daughter got frustrated trying to color. You have to use short strokes and squeeze the markers very hard to keep getting ink.
-The paper cutouts are easy to punch out.
-You have to be very careful how you attach the clips for the mobile. Because you plug them into the base (which spins two ways) you have to watch out or you tie up all the clips in one rotation.
-The spinning shadow scene was a bit easier to use on the spinning base but still a pain to color.
-The glowing colors were okay and it was fun to watch for a little while. The colors were not what a would consider an "explosion" however. They are very muted compared to the photo on the box.
-The glow in the dark aspect only lasts 4 hours (according to the box.) It didn't last nearly that long for us.
-You need 2 AA batteries which are NOT included in the box.
My daughter enjoyed it for all of 10 minutes. Not something we would recommend until they can fix the problem with the ink in the markers. It's a great idea- but fails in execution.
