Customer Reviews

Not a cheap gimmick
Unlike so many other 3D toys and products which just frustrate and disappoint - this toy works as advertised! The provided glasses make any bright colors appear to float or plunge back into surfaces. Each color in the rainbow appears at a different depth, so almost anything your child draws will have an interesting 3D result.

The great thing about this is that the glasses also work with drawings made with markers, pen, crayon, and even computer and video images. Anything with bright colors will pop to life.

Looking up 'chromadepth' on the internet yielded many other images which appear in glorious 3D when wearing the provided glasses.

Eye-Popping
We got this product today when we saw it in the store. I was afraid it would be a disappointment and just cause frustration. But once we started using it we realized what a GREAT product it was! The colors really do jump out at you and make you want to touch them and put your hands through them. We used this with a 5 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. It was perfect for sharing because there was plenty of chalk to go around and they would only use the glasses to see their artwork. After a while the 3 year old really got into it and just kept staring at her work with the glasses on saying "Wow" over and over! Here is a hint for when you first start using it, try to make thick lines or circles colored in with a different color outline. If you just have lines it will look good, but not great. When you have thicker lines or shapes with different colors is when it really POPS!

3D does work, sort of
The 3D effect really does work, well sort of. It works best with the red/pink colored chalk, I guess that's why there are 3 of that color in the pack. The glasses have a special lens that picks up reds and pink colors making them look 3D. You can see a similar effect on almost anything of that color other than the chalks.

I tried every color of the chalks and again only the pink/red had the 3D effect. The kids and I had fun with the kit but 15+ dollars is a bit much for chalk.
