Crayola Color Wonder

Do you use Crayola Color Wonder products?  I would love to know what you think of them.  We are certainly not afraid of making messy art, but sometimes mess free art is necessary!  My children have been using some of their products for a long time now, and I have been happy with them.  We recently received a box full of cool Color Wonder products from Crayola that we have never tried before.  We received a Color Wonder Lap Desk, the Color Wonder Stow and Go Studio, Color Wonder finger paints, Color Wonder Story Stampers, and a package of Color Wonder paper and markers.  I just want to clarify that we have tried the paper and markers before, but not the other products.

We have a few vacations coming up, so I am saving some of these products to try while we are in an airport and on an airplane for one trip and in the car for the other trip.  I will let you know what I think of them after those trips.

I could not resist trying at least one product now, so C and R did some Color Wonder finger painting.  The set came with the plastic hand paint palette with five different colors of paint.  The paint is a clear, fast-drying gel that feels like paint.  The colors only appear on Color Wonder paper (a package of Color Wonder paper is included in the kit).  There is also a finger cleaning sponge to use between colors.  C and R had a great time finger painting.

Here is the art they created:

This is R's art

 This is C's rainbow creation

I am happy with this product.  I was surprised to see that a tiny bit of the "paint" goes a long way.   I also liked that this kit came with the double-wide Color Wonder paper sheets.  There are twelve sheets in the kit, so you can create twelve large paintings or even cut the paper in half (it is folded so you can cut along the crease if you want to double the amount of pages) and create twenty-four paintings.  C and R gave the Crayola Color Wonder Fingerpaints two thumbs up!  If you are interested in buying Color Wonder products for your child, click here for a printable coupon.
