Given all the reviews on the pixos products, I bought this with some trepidation. However, I was pleased both with the ease of use of the unit as well as the entertainment value it provided. Some tips on this...I would not suggest this for a child younger than 6, possibly 5 if they are quite dextrous. There is a lot of fine motor control required to place the individual pixos according to pattern. Secondly, we had much better results when the pixos were sprayed heavily with water and left overnight to dry. Third, you will end up buying additional pixos packs as your kids will go through the designs quite quickly, so there will be added expense. Fourth, we found the pixos pen much easier to use than the suction device to place the pixos. We also found that using a fingertip to slide the pixos in place was also effective. Lastly, the drying device on the unit was pretty useless.

The one major disappointment that I have with this product is that is really is design driven, allowing for little creativity on the part of the kiddo. You can of couse, scrap the expansion packs, and just use the pixos to design something, but then there aren't enough pixos to do a design if you then chooose to. Not a big deal, but just more of an investment to stimulate creativity.

Overall, the item was much better than expected. My daughter likes playing with it, likes doing designs and made her own scooter freeform with it as well. she is able to use the pen well, the suction device OK, and does not get frustrated with the unit.

This toy says its for kids 3 and up but with the attention span of most children I would not recommended this products to any child under the age of at least 8. My niece is 5 years old and mentioned that she wanted to try out PixOs. I bought these for her birthday and we spent about 20 min setting it up. After about 1 hour of playing with it there were more PixOs stuck in the carpet than there were in the molding tray. They are sticky and after she found out they were more fun to throw at people rather than slowly put them into molds it went downhill fast. This is really meant for children that are either older or can give something full attention for more than an hour and complete a protect other wise you are going to be vacuuming up PixOs for years to come or cutting them out of your carpet! Enjoy at your own risk =)

Way over priced. After buying it online, saw it at Toys R US $10 cheaper. It only comes with enough to make one or two characters, then you have to buy more for $10 a pack. Kids enjoyed it and still do. Its just priced rediculously and your forced to buy the 10 refills.
