My Kids Love It! Mess-Free Fun!!
My kid loves this product. He'd been asking for it for awhile and we finally got it. It's very easy to use, especially for kids who need to work on motor skills. Each "color" vile that you attach to the sprayer is a clear liquid. However, when you spray it on the special Color Wonder paper, the color appears. So, it's really not messy if the kids miss the paper. No smell problems either. Don't confuse this product with a REAL airbrush, since the treated color wonder paper and the toy sprayer limit the amount of art you can really do. But, it works GREAT on the special coloring books designed for Color Wonder. The stencils are fun too and add significantly to the creative part of the kit. You also may not need to use as much "ink" as you think you do. The colors seem to darken as they liquid dries. Also the refills are a bit pricey, but not too bad and the ink seems to last for awhile. Overall, I give this high marks. Just remember this is a kid's toy and not a serious artistic toolkit.

Wash-out
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3HM25V7B7E18N This gizmo is fun for about 6 minutes and 20 seconds, not including set-up time. It's okay to a point once you're using the coloring pages or stencils supplied, but doesn't encourage self-expression or creativity.

Pros:
1. No mess, other than the occasional splatter of white stuff, which is easy to clean up.
2. Sprayer makes a professional sounding noise
3. Includes three stencils, with interesting patterns
4. Easy to set up
5. Includes everything you need except batteries


Cons:
1. It uses FOUR "C" batteries (not included)
2. The colors only work on Crayola special paper.
3. The colors are pale, washed out looking tints of the colors they claim to be
4. The colors don't show up immediately, and as a result, kids tend to spray the same area over and over again, causing a wet spot
5. The coloring pages are specially created so that the paint only sticks to specific areas, thereby guaranteeing a good finish. Similarly, the stencils only let through the paint in the right places. Kids can draw their own images using the markers and crayon, but it's impossible to keep the spray within the lines, resulting in major frustration for kids who want to express themselves beyond the coloring pages and stencils.

Recommended only for short term entertainment, when you don't feel like cleaning up afterwards. Not for creative kids.

Not Quite As Cool as the Box Shows
The Color Wonder Sprayer is easy to set up and use. However, the colors are very dull and take a long time to develop on the paper. Also, the sprayer sprays very broad strokes of color so it is impossible to create any specific detail on a picture. It works best for painting one page half one color and half another color. A little boring for long term use and not very creative.
