Product Description

From the Manufacturer

A truly unique learning toy! OOZ & OZ updated a centuries-old optical illusion brain-teaser and code cracking device to create ingenious art fun for today's curious kids, tweens, teens, and adults. Curved mirror decoders transform secret squiggles and swirls into astonishing reflections, giggly cartoons, and dozens of other circus-themed coloring and drawing games. The Kit challenges users to crayon weird shapes on the page to make color appear in the right places in cartoon reflections, connect dots and lines to complete morphed drawings, create their own morphed picture, navigate a morphed maze, decode slant art, solve our famous 4-Dot Challenge (a snap for some 5-year-olds; utterly stymies some grown-ups!), etc. All engaging, mind-messing fun! Not too easy. Not too hard. And definitely not boring! The Circus Kit contains 32 morphed circus activity pages, 2 child-safe mirror decoders (for shared play) 16 non-toxic crayons, an Enrichment Guide, and instructions in English, Spanish and French - in a slim carrying case. OOZ & OZ encourages (yes, encourages!) you to copy the morphed activity pages for repeat use at home or in the classroom. Wonderful rainy day diversion. Fantastic travel toy. Excellent activity center motivator. Great for get well, quiet time, anytime. "An amazing art form....Great fun with lots of educational value for the whole family." - Dr. Toy Best Smart Play/Smart Toy Product, 10 Best Creative Products, 100 Best Children's Products. "Certainly one of the most unique art kits we've ever seen, a sensation in our testing centers. Testers gravitated to (it)....There is no denying the fun and appeal this kit offers." - National Association for Gifted Children.

I originally ordered the Mirror-aculous Art Activities Kit for my 4 grandchildren who, at the ages of 5, 6 and 7 found it not only intriguing to color, but to figure out how to make the distortions! I found myself doing the same thing--taking a design and trying to reconfigure it so it would reflect on the mirror. It was not just a coloring activity. My grand children still go back to the kit and it has launched an exploration into optical illusion. In a world of gadgets that kids soon tire of, this is a standout way to engage the mind as well as eye-hand coordination.

The Mirror-aculous Art Activities Kit that we own has brought hours of fun and giggles and fascination to everyone, young and old. It's also just a great conversation piece! The coloring is challenging and the mazes tricky but not impossible. I personally love trying to guess what something will turn out to be before looking in the mirror. My dad was particularly fascinated with how the whole process of animorphosis worked, and he had fun trying to draw straight lines while looking in the mirror. Definitely a toy for all ages!

I bought a Ooz and Oz Mirror-aculous Art Kit to use as an activity at my daughter's birthday party. All the kids in attendance had a blast coloring their pictures and seeing what appeared in the mirror. Since everyone enjoyed it so much the the morphing kits became a favorite Christmas and birthday gift to give to my kid's friends and neices and nephews. You won't be disappointed.
