The cool thing about the Color Wonder line is it only colors on special paper. That way the marker does not stain everything around the house. Crayola Color Wonder has been around for a while, but this year Crayola introduced scented color wonder markers and a scented color wonder stamping pad. Crayola sent me the new scented Color Wonder set to review and we loved it, especially my son.
What Comes In the Box?
Here is the back of the box showing all the contents. The set includes 5 scented markers; cherry, blueberry, orange, lime, and banana, 1 chocolate scented stamp pad, 5 stamp pads: donuts, lollipop, ice cream cone, cookie, and cupcake, 1 stamp holder, and 12 sheets of Color Wonder paper.
How Does It Work?
Color Wonder ink only reacts with color wonder paper. It appears clear at first and then the color transforms to whatever color was used. I used both markers and the stamp pad to color the page below. Any color wonder markers can be used with the set, but they will not be scented.
What Did I Think?
Color Wonder is really neat. My son LOVED it and kept begging to color more pages. He loved the way the color appeared before his eyes magically. It worked out really good because we had to take a road trip and it entertained him wonderfully. Here is one of the pages he colored.
He has had other color wonder sets,
the character sets and a
Planes coloring book. He liked this one the best because he got to create his own images and color everything the color he wanted.
One of the things I would change about this set is to include more paper, it only comes with 12 sheets. I would also make the sheets easily removable from the pad. I have two kids and they both wanted to color at the same time. We ended up tearing and cutting some sheets out.
Do I think Color Wonder is worth it? Definitely, it is a great sensory activity for kids. If it were up to me I would emphasize the Magic Ink more than Mess Free because honestly it is not very hard to clean up washable markers. I just cleaned up some red Silly Scents off the kids coloring station today with just water. I had to use windex for the pencil markers. My kids LOVED that it magically appeared.
