Crayola Gifts of Imagination Review and Giveaway

Congratulations Kala!  You are my winner!

Crayola Digital Light Designer

• With Crayola’s Digital Light Designer, kids can draw with lights to create, animate and play
• The Digital Light Designer uses LED technology as the medium to bring kids’ colorful ideas to life on a 360-degree domed drawing surface
• There are three different modes of play, including Draw, Animate, and Play
  • Draw - Using the digital light stylus, kids can select colors and line width to begin free-drawing anywhere on the domed surface, switching between eight different colors
  • Animate – Kids can activate their creations with amazing special effects, making them spin, change colors, melt, or even mix up the drawings
  • Play – With 8 different interactive games and activity apps, kids can spend hours creating or just doodling with Rainbow Draw, magically duplicate their creations with Mirror Draw, create funny animated faces, play interactive mazes, and more

The Digital Light Designer includes the 360-degree domed drawing surface, digital light stylus, and easy-to-follow instructions

My girls couldn't wait to try this out.  It is a little hard to figure out because the directions are not very clear.  There were a few features that we couldn't get to work at all.  The more they use it, it might be easier but we were a little disappointed.

Crayola Marker Airbrush

• With the Crayola Marker Airbrush, kids can create amazing airbrush effects on paper, fabrics, and windows
• The Marker Airbrush is kid-powered and works with a simple hand pump, and can be used with any of Crayola’s Classic Washable Broadline Markers, Washable Broadline Window Markers, or new Bright Fabric Broadline Markers
• Simply attach a Crayola Broadline Marker, pump it up, and spray – no batteries required!
• Kids can use the Marker Airbrush to create free-hand airbrushed drawings or use the stencil sheets to create professional –looking masterpieces
• The Marker Airbrush includes the Airbrush Sprayer, 8 washable markers, 4 bright fabric markers, 20 sheets of paper, and 4 stencil sheets

The Marker Airbrush is MUCH better than I thought it would be.  The girls each did a t-shirt with the fabric marker and then airbrushed some pictures.  The older girls (9 and 7) could do the whole thing by themselves.  Our 4 year old needed a little help but loved creating designs.  Now we will have tons of uses for the $1 back-to-school markers that I have stockpiled.  I would buy this item for a gift for sure.

I am trying to upload pictures of my girls using the products but Google is being petulent.    I'll post them ASAP.
