Award-winning Design
Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio (OTP) Gold Seal Award, the Crayola Glow Dome isn't your ordinary glow-in-the-dark toy. Kids create their own glowing creations, by drawing directly on the Glow Dome and center panel with the neon markers. With six brightly colored markers and two starter scenes to trace from -- or just to get the creative juices going -- there are endless possibilities for designing the dome. When done and ready, kids can turn out the lights in the room, and control the lights, speed, and rotation of their creations on the base of the dome.

Kids can trace or draw freehand with the neon markers onto both the durable plastic dome and the inside glow panel for a multicolored and multi layered glow-in-the-dark experience.

They can also change their display with different light and speed settings on the side of the dome. With a push of the spin-action button, the built-in motor rotates the dome at three separate speeds: slow, medium, or fast. Move the slider on the light feature to illuminate either the inner panel, the outer dome, both -- or have the light flash back and forth between them. Kids will love experimenting with the controls and changing up the amazing effects on their works of art.

Easy as Draw, Glow, Spin!
For a toy with so much exciting possibility, it's incredible how easy it is to begin playing with the Crayola Glow Dome. Once installing batteries, the glow dome base is ready to go with the addition of the inner panel and outer dome, which slide right into place. The only part that can be difficult is holding a starter scene to the inside of the dome while tracing it on the outside. It's easier using the tracing sheets on the inside panel, which lays flat, and drawing freehand on the dome. Once the ideas are flowing, kids may no longer even need to trace to bring inspiring scenes to life.

Cleanup is also a cinch. The two drawing surfaces wipe clean with a little water and cloth or paper towel. When they're all done, kids can tuck the markers away in two compartments on the glow base, making sure they don't get lost.

What's in the Box
Glow dome base, center panel, outer dome, 6 neon markers, and 2 starter scene tracing sheets.

Awesome

Reviewer: Gerald Slicker, charlotte nc
Great item but this price is high. $18 at [...] right now and $23 at [...]. Great item much better than I thought it would be. Use the different setting and it creates great effects and shows. Well worth $20+ dollars.. not over $40 though.
Great toy uses lots of batteries

Not really sure what I expected, but this is really pretty cool. I like the various rotation speed and no need to use the enclosed templates, just freeform it.
My 8 year old niece loves this!

Reviewer: S. Collins,
My niece and I had a great time playing with this on Christmas day, when I gave it to her. It's easy to use and produces a dazzling effect at the end of every project. It's fun for kids to use alone or with an adult (and it's fun for the adult, too!). It's a little pricey, but so many toys are these days, and few are as cool as this one.
crayola does it again

Reviewer: Sherri Taylor, CRESTWOOD, KY, US
the main present my 4 yr. old daughter asked for, had to make a special trip to talk to Santa about it. she is still playing with it a week later and says it is one of the greatest inventions ever. It is easy to put together, and is self contained, markers fit under dome, completely portable, and changes the lighting patterns and speed of spinning dome. recommend for any child that loves to draw, or even scribble.
