Product Description

Turn the invisible into visionary works of art with the Crayola Mess-Free Color Wonder Magic Light Brush. Similar to classic activities with invisible ink, this toy comes with clear paints that only appear when applied to Color Wonder Paper. Making it fun to paint, even in the dark, the special light-up brush magically glows the color of the paint being used. Designed for children ages five and up, the Wonder Magic Light Brush is a fun and magical introduction -- or reintroduction -- to art for young girls and boys.

The Good: Fun, easy, and mess-free introduction to painting and color.

When used on Color Wonder paper, the magic paint brush lights up the invisible paint, revealing its true color. View larger.

Look Mom, No Mess!
With a battery-operated light, the fiber-optic bristles of the light brush illuminate the color of the paint. To get started, kids can simply pick one of the six classic-colored paints to begin painting. While the paint appears clear on its own, the brush will glow the paint color to guide them as they draw. After a couple of seconds on the page, the invisible paint turns to reveal its true color. Best of all for parents, the Wonder Magic Light Brush doesn't make a mess at all. Working only on specially coated Color Wonder Paper, the colors won't appear on skin, walls, carpet, or clothing. If you run out, more Color Wonder Paper and paint refills (including fun tropical colors) are sold separately.

Simple is Good
Durable, compact, and easy to use, the Wonder Magic Light Brush proves that arts-and-crafts time doesn't have to be a headache. The connected paint pots snap firmly into the plastic orange-and-purple Color Wonder base and the light-up brush is attached by a flexible cord and clips snugly in its resting station, so you don't ever have to worry about it getting lost. While it's strong enough to survive plenty of child's play, the plastic has rounded corners to ensure safety.

Other design pluses include a built-in carrying handle on one side for quick portability. At the other end a light-gray tablet clip holds your paper in place while you're painting.

Time-tested Fun
With its light-up brush and colors that reveal only with special paper, this Crayola set brings new life to an activity kids have always loved. Great for beginning artists, the Wonder Magic Light Brush is good at painting broad colorful strokes, and it's exciting to see as the colors appear a second or two after drawn on the page. The brush bristles aren't fine enough for very detailed work, but as a toy, even young masters should enjoy this new way of playing with colors.

What's in the Box
Light-up brush unit, 6 Color Wonder paint colors, and 30-page Color Wonder paper tablet.

I got this for my 5 yr old grand daughter's birthday. I read the reviews AFTER I got the product and was worried because some said it didn't light up!? BUT it DOES after the brush is held over or dipped into the paint that comes with it. It took about 10 seconds for it to 'recognize' the paint color at first then she was off to the races. The only draw back is there isn't alot of the paint and it's a clear gel, but you can buy more of it and different colors than the primary ones it comes with. The brush is 'chunky' so it's perfect for little hands. Says it won't work on any other surface like other paper other than what comes with it and that remains true. So there is NO mess or accidents of carpets, tables, bare floors, etc. I'd highly reccomend this product to anyone IF you can find it. That was one very difficult thing we ran into. Found it at Johnny's toys store in Covington Ky and it was the LAST ONE but they held it for me. :)

This is definitely a NO MESS paint kit!

I was worried what this would be like when my daughter received this as a gift last month. But she absolutely loves it and the brush is great for those little hands too. It is totally mess free and there are refills out there. I have found that Target carries a bigger supply of this than most stores. I just read some reviews about this on here and we haven't ran down the batteries yet and I have no problems w/ this item at all. I plan to get this for my friends daughter right now and ship it to her for her birthday. This is great for the little ones that want to learn how to paint and get out of that finger painting stage. I hope this review helps and you will be happy with this product I am sure.

I bought this paint for my 4-year-old daughter for Christmas. I don't like paint. I don't have any in the house. It's just too messy. Then I saw this product and thought I would give it a try. I know she loves to paint and this seemed like a good compromise for us. She tried it out and we are both very happy with this product. The brush lights up in the color of the paint pot that you hold it over, so you know what you will be getting on your brush. Then you paint it on the special paper and the paint magically appears. I like that when you dip the brush into another color you don't really get any mixing of the colors on the page. The colors come out bright and it looks like regular paint even after it dries. It doesn't matter if the gel from the paint pots get on clothes or carpet, because it's clear and easy to clean up. The whole system is east to clean and everything stores together. This is certainly a hit in my house, for both my daughter and myself.

I bought this product for my 10 year old daughter. She wants to be an art teacher and is constantly drawing and painting. I knew she would love this and she does. She is just amazed by how this thing works.
I also bought it for my 8 year old niece. I had her name in my family's grabbag for Christmas. She absolutely loves it.
I highly recommend this toy!!
