5.0 out of 5 stars Not as great as in commercial...but good enough., September 23, 2006

My 4-year old had to have Blendy Pens, and I have to admit, they are pretty neat. But a 4-year old has a hard time with the twist-and-wait concept...so his color doesn't come out quite like we see in the commercial. The pens make him happy, and keep him entertained - and that's good enough for me. The paper that comes with the pens is the best part; I just wish they supplied more or had refill options. We've gone through the paper and the pens have lost their luster to him on their own. I'm buying another Grande set, it makes the most sense money-wise. Worth the money if your children love drawing.

3.0 out of 5 stars A disappointment for a seven yr old, January 2, 2007

This was by far number one on Santa's list, but were quickly pushed aside for some of the more interesting items Santa brought. Thankfully Santa provided lots more entertainment. My granddaughter loves to paint and draw and is quite the budding artist, so it's not the lack of ability that deterred her. They don't always blend well and can be quite frustrating. They also seem to dry up much too quickly. Clearly a disappointment

2.0 out of 5 stars A little disappointed, January 11, 2007

I must admit I had no idea what they were, but my daughter wanted them.
I was disappointed that all you do is basically rub the pins together to get another color. This color did not last long so you had to keep doing that little process to get the colors to blend. My daughter who is 7 lost interest quickly. She uses them like regular markers. I could have paid 5 dollars for a new pack of markers. As for the material to use them on, she used them all in a couple of hours.
