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.

Color Wonder Magic Light Brush Ages: 5+ Requires: 3 "AA" batteries (not included)

What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: Fun, easy, and mess-free introduction to painting and color. The Challenging: Coarseness of bristles may disappoint young artists. In a Nutshell: Light-up brush illuminates paint colors and shows up only on special paper.

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.

Customer Reviews

Lexi's Mawmaw
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. :)

Don't waste the money
This uses the Color Wonder Finger paint And Coloring Book. (Which to me isn't really 'mess free'. ) Add batteries to the paintbrush and the brush lights up the color of the finger paint as it is dipped in the color. The directions say 'clean the brush after dipping it into each color'!! For a 4 yr old they want to mix all the colors, and they still want to put their fingers in it, to finger paint.
The 'light brush' is neat when it lights up, but to put batteries in, having to wipe the brush clean after dipping into each paint, then having to wash the brush after each use, you might was well just get the plan old finger paints. My child wanted to still put her fingers into the 'mess free paint' too, so I then had to wash her all up. I didn't think this was 'mess free' as advertised, a bit time consuming cleaning, and why spend the extra money for a 'light brite' brush you have to clean.

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.
