Editorial Review

Like miniature cans of spray paint, the pens in this 50-piece Blopens activity kit can be used to make a wide variety of colorful stencil and airbrush pictures. The kit contains 15 pens, including five color-changing ones, and 23 precut stencils. Each pen is filled with nontoxic, washable ink. By blowing into one end of the pen young artists can create a colorful airbrush effect on paper. A sturdy cardboard workstation that holds all of the pens has been included, along with eight sheets of paper, a carry case for the whole set, and an instruction and idea booklet. --Chris Burns

He really has fun decorating not just paper but also rocks, we received this kit for a birthday present and he just loves it. There is almost no end to the things you can decorate with the blopens. It is really easy to use, and seems to be lasting a pretty long time so far. It is also in a nice package to contain all the parts and keep it organized and also a tray to hold the item which is being painted, this contains the paint in the tray. One of my kids got paint spattered on her and it washed right off and also washed out of her clothes no problem.

My daughter received a blopen kit over a year ago. She has used it for many school projects and also just for fun. She and her friends love it and the teachers have commented on how original her projects are. They want to know how she did it. She did one project which had to do with space and planets. She used the blopens to make the background(Blue black and purple). It looked realistic and then she mounted her planets on top. They were also made using the blopens and the whole effect was very artistic. The only negative comment I have is that I have not been able to find replacement pens anywhere including on the internet. It would be nice to be able to buy replacement pens without having to buy the whole kit again.

We bought these for the kids after seeing the commercial on Cartoon Network and bazillion times. Too cool! By blowing into the end of the pen, your child can create an airbrush effect on paper, cardboard, whatever. I suggest you spread some newspaper out beforehand, or better yet, do this outside. Eager kids can easily give you a lovely creation on your kitchen wall (must be why the company recommends parental supervision). There's a one-way valve in each pen which prevents your child from sucking on the end and inhaling the ink. The best part is watching your child's face when he sees what he can make. This inexpensive pen set entertains our kids for hours (NOTE: don't let the dog get a hold of them- I'll spare you the gory details).
