Editorial Review

Imagine a bookbag filled with cool, swirly-painted notebooks, diaries, stickers, bookmarks, cd covers, and envelopes. Then imagine the bookbag itself is decorated with its own groovy designs! Paint Sensation allows young artisans to create endless craft projects using a clever spinning paint-squirting machine. Three control locations--a paint button, a swirl button, and a control arm--allow users to direct paint onto whatever item they wish to beautify (as long as it's less than 1 ½ inch tall). The clear plastic paint canister dome expels paint onto a spinning plate, producing circular geometric patterns. Sensational! Includes three paint bottles, 10 sheets of paper, one sticker sheet, two paint canisters, one cleaning tool, and one activity booklet. Four "C" batteries required (not included). --Emilie Coulter

Product Description

Personalize T-shirts, notebook covers, CD jewel cases, frames and more with the motorized Paint Sensation. As long as the item fits in the tray, whether it's flat or 3D, you can paint it with intricate, unique designs. Unlike spin art machines that give you no control over the paint, this kit features a special blower that lets you point the pigment right where you want it. Includes three 60-ml paint bottles, 2 paint canisters, 10 sheets of paper, 1 cleaning tool, a sheet of stickers and an activity book, which has lots of great craft ideas inside. Imported. 3-1/2Hx12Wx9L".

3.0 out of 5 stars Globby and Time-Consuming for What You Get, April 24, 2005

= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Paint Sensation (Toy)

My 11-year-old daughter bought this at KB Toys for $10, using her own saved-up allowance money. She was all excited about it. Mom had to help her with set-up. The paint sprays globs over the 6" pieces of paper that are included in the kit. Paint gets used up rapidly, requiring you to disassemble the paint canisters and refill fairly frequently.

My best advice, if you buy it, is to use a VERY light touch on the "paint speed" button. My daughter's skills did improve with each paper she tried, however. I'm not sure how you'd paint a t-shirt unless you use transfers.

I'm rating it 3 stars because that's what my daughter rated it, but I'd give it about 1.5.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blue-green fingers..., December 10, 2005

We have blue-green fingers after fiddlin' with this masterpiece. Nothing but globs of paint. Papa isn't smart enough to make those fancy patterns... maybe Grandma should try with her magic touch. Avoid this one unless you want to waste paint and whatever you decide to put in the spinn' tray. The happy little girl in the picture obviously isn't helping to clean up the mess.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as advertised, January 18, 2005

This review is from: Paint Sensation (Toy)

I guess you can't ever except anything to be as good as it's advertised and this is not exception. Paint dribbles out and frequently makes unattractive globs and lots of paint is wasted down the sides making the paint canisters not last very long. Plus I found assembly to be a headache. Worst is I got it for doing t-shirts since my daughters love to decorate clothes. However I can't even get my two year olds t-shirts to fit right.
I give it three stars though because it is still fun and it's easier then spin art because I don't have to worry about cutting the paper just right and fitting it in, and trying to get slick paper.
