My 7 year old son absolutely loves this toy. It doesn't come with much paper; however, I bought black card stock at Michaels arts and crafts store and cut it to size...now he is back in business.

As the paper spins, the music plays (you can also turn the music off), and the black light in the background makes the neon colors glow(especially in the dark). The effect of the glowing, spinning artwork is amazing!! With this toy, anyone can be an artist!!!

This has got to be one of the best things i ever bought my kids!!!!!!!!!!! Even the adults loved it and we have found that you dont only have to use the paper we even put 4x4 household floor tiles on it making sure they were centered and the kids painted them not only with the paint that came with the thing but with the paint you find in any craft store. then we sprayed them with clear spray paint and you can use them for coasters or as i am gonna do use them for a back splash made by my kids. This is a MUST BUY TOY FOR ALL AGES my 4 year old grandson was even able to use this with no problem, and they have ran the thing for many hours and it is still using the same batteries that it came with.

I bought this toy for my daughters birthday (3) and everyone in the family loves it, her father had to make a picture of his own while the both of them argued over whose turn it was!

Got this toy for my daughter for Christmas. Both she and my son loved it, but it only comes with 8 or so pieces of cardboard and you go through them quickly. I bought refills, which were hard to find locally and they also last about 5 minutes. As other reviewers have said, get your own cardboard, any neon color works well, and use one of the original pieces as a stencil to cut them out. It's much cheaper than buying the refills if you don't mind a little bit of extra work. I bought regular cardboard which curled up after they came off the toy, but we can put a book on them when they are dry to flatten them out. Cleaning isn't too bad either. Just a couple of papertowels and voila! It's clean and ready to be used again.

I bought this for my oldest daughter who is 10 for this past Christmas, and I have to admit that I was worried it was for younger children. She loves it !!

My duaghter who is 3 1/2 years old got this toy from her grandmother. I was a little hesitant at first. I remember something similar when I was child and it made for massive clean up when done.
So I have been putting it off getting out for my daughter. Who has asked me non stop for the last two months. I kept saying it was special toy for a special day. Her not knowing I just didn't want to deal with the hassel of the whole thing.

Well I got it out today. It's humid and raining and I thought I can't put it off forever. THis toy is great. It was so much fun and really there was hardly any mess. I instructed her less is more on a project like this but I don't think it made a difference. With each paper change I did wipe it down with a wet paper towel and that was it. They think it's super cool because you use it with all the lights off. It's also nice because it comes with the batteries.

This is a real winner. I highly recommend this toy and don't put off playing with it either like I did.

Everyone in my family has enjoyed this product - from my five year old, who enjoys making the spin art, to my 3 month old, who enjoys watching the light effects. This has given all of us hours of fun. It doesn't make much of a mess, and the machine itself cleans up easily. It does not come with a lot of paint or paper, so you may wish to purchase refills at the same time - or make your own paper refills with thick sheets of poster board-like paper.

On Christmas my 13 year old son opened an MP3 Player, camcorder, and this art toy.
He was memorized by it and played with it for hours. With the other gifts he needed to read the instruction first so he jumped into this one first.
It's so much fun, even for us grown ups, in seconds we created fantastic works of art. Also, when his friends come over to play video games they play with this while they wait for their turn. It's a lot of fun and plays great, inspiring-get you in the mood to create music.

This toy lives in our "game closet", and the kids are constantly reaching for it! It is messier than a normal board game, but the kids (2 and 5) take turns and enjoy the squeezing and spinning action. I do too! I just am much happier when I turn off the music. I turn the small paintings into birthday cards. They don't provide enough paper but we cut up card board and it works fine. Worth the money!

My daughter just received this for her 5th brithday ... WHAT FUN! It is not messy at all...

It does not come with much paper - so either buy the refill kit or you can cut your own cardstock down to size.

She absolutely loves it - and it is fun for the adults, too!
