Crayola Color Twister Review

Talker Man LOVES to do art projects.  Seriously, we would be doing them all day long if it was up to him!  For his birthday, I used my Swagbucks-earned Amazon gift cards to get him a Crayola Color Twister Spin Art set.  I'll be honest, it reminded me of my childhood and a trip the Girl Scouts took to a local paint place that did the same thing on shirts.  Man, I loved that shirt!  Anyway...

Right out of the box, this was super simple to put together.  All that really needed done was taking off the cardboard and sticking the kid-powered spin button into the designated slot.  After that, you just add the provided paper to the spinner and start making some beautiful art!!


Just squeeze some paint onto the paper...


And spin!  I helped him spin the first few times, it was almost like the button was too new and stiff for him to push.  A few pushes and it loosened up enough and he had the hang of it.


Just repeat the steps as many times as you'd like!


It came with three colors, red, blue and yellow, which we had fun experimenting with to make what he called "new colors".

The suggested age on this was 6+ and he's only 4.  This wasn't a problem, he managed it just fine and was able to push the button and do his own paint.  He accidentally used more paint than was necessary, but it wasn't a big deal.  We had to clean out the spinner of the excess that hit the walls, but nothing "escaped" onto the table. 

Buy It!
Like I said, we got ours from Amazon for about $11, you can find it there or in your local stores!

Disclaimer: This is an UNsponsored review, I purchased the product myself and just wanted to share our fun with you!

My son would love, love this art toy, btw. Anything with paints and that is messy is a definite plus for him. LOL! Have a great weekend!
