Spin a magical masterpiece with the RoseArt Magic Spin art kit. Ideal for ages 6 through 10, this spin art kit is fun and easy to use. Simply drop the paints on the paper and spin to produce colorful designs that are definitely worthy of display on the refrigerator.

A Spin on Children's Art
Providing a unique new way to create art, Magic Spin Art is designed for kids with explosive creativity. Kids can produce awesome, psychedelic bursts of color just by spinning the paint on a sheet of paper. Drop the paint on the mechanized spinner and watch it splay out in a beautiful design. With blue, red, yellow, and green paint, the set comes equipped with all the color options your child will need. The entire process might sound messy, but the spin art device comes with a splash guard that makes clean-up a breeze.

Educational Value
Of course, this doesn't mean that creating spin art doesn't require some skill. As kids get better at making spin art, they'll learn to control their spins and produce even more intricate and complex designs. A fun and educational toy, Spin Art can teach children artistic creativity as well as manual dexterity and coordination.

What's in the Box
Motorized unit, splash guard, 4 paint bottles, and 20 paint sheets.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not like they used to be when we were kids, July 12, 2006

This review is from: Spin Art Machine Rose Art by Mega Brands (Toy)

I purchased this toy for my boys, 5,5,6. We put the batteries in and tried to load the paper. It's not cut right, so it doesn't fit into the paper holder. Once we fought with that, we turned it on...it didn't spin. There wasn't enough power to spin the wheel with paper. What's worse is there were NO directions. I took it back for a refund.

This review is from: Spin Art Machine Rose Art by Mega Brands (Toy)

We just got this today and WOW. Does it suck. It's called "Magic Spin Art";

1. There is no magic inside. I promise, I checked. If taken to Hogwart's School for Witchcraft and Wizardry (if it were allowed through the doors. Spoiler alert: No it would not. See: No Magic Inside), this machine would be immediately sorted into Slytherin due to its propensity for lying and mischief.

2. There is no art created because the machine spins too slow and the paint has a thick, enfuriating viscosity that gathers at the tip of the applicator and then plops onto the paper like so much used Pop Tarts. Yes that is a poop joke. If that offends you then you can imagine how offended I was with this sin against purity and happiness; thine name is Magic Spin Art.

3. It does spin. Faster than a microwave platter but about half as fast as it needs to in order to fling its supplied electric colored dung accross the depressed looking paper.

Conclusion.
The Magic Spin Art machine by RoseArt is a crime against humanity and should be judged by a jury of its peers so that it may be found guilty and hung from the neck until dead.

This review is from: Spin Art Machine Rose Art by Mega Brands (Toy)

I bought this spin art toy because my son's preschool has one similar and he LOVES it. I bought this particular one based on the reviews and I hate to say but this is one of the first times I feel let down. Here are my complaints:
1) The paper the kit comes with does NOT fit in the desinated holders so you either have to make it fit in (then it sticks up in the center) or you have to trim each piece.
2) The paint splashes out of the paint area despite the "splash guard," which resulted in my children's clothing covered with splattered paint.
3) When you put more than 5 drops of paint on the paper the motor slows down and you can hear that it's working to spin the platform. I would except a motor designed for 20 drops of paint because often that's what it takes for all the children I have seen to feel their art is complete.

I must say that despite all of this my kids are still having a lot of fun, and ask to do this 4 or 5 times a day. The good parts are that it is easy to clean and store away, but I need more than that for a better review.

My recommendation is to buy this toy but from a different manufacturer. It is a fantastic idea.
