What a neat idea! My son (just turned three) has had so much fun with it. We especially like the color-fold-build structures. Comes with crayons, cars and a play mat to set everything up. We literally sat down and played with this for over an hour when it first arrived. True, you can only color the buildings once, but my son has enjoyed playing with the mat and vehicles several times. Overall, a really creative, fun kit!

I'm sending a set or two of these Crayon Town toys to a friend for kids in their family. We're always looking for creative toys that are wholesome and engaging, and these are. Who doesn't love crayons? With these toys, kids color, build, and play with crayons not only as coloring utensils, but also as animal parts (attaching molded heads and tails), and street signs, etc. The pre-cut artwork is colored and then folded into fire stations, houses, etc. And more art is available for free from the Wild Planet website. It's nice that Wild Planet didn't cheap out, but instead is including genuine Crayola crayons.

I was lucky enough to snag this item when it was only $4.00 (here on Amazon), and it was definitely worth that price. I don't know if I'd pay much more. I bought this as a gift for a three-year-old construction fanatic, and he and his older sister both enjoyed this for about two hours. They were completely absorbed into coloring it and playing with the trucks. In fact, I have scarcely seen them enjoy a toy more. They have not, however, taken it out of the closet since, despite the fact that there are still three other pages to color. (The set comes with two two-sided mats, meaning that you get two copies each of two different scenes.)

I recommend this product for anyone who can provide some floor or table space, and needs to keep children occupied for a couple of hours. (They may need a little help understanding what goes where, and putting the set together after they have the buildings colored.) Just don't expect much long-term value from the toy.

I loved this product, so much that I bought three - one for my son and the other two to give away as gifts. However, when I got them, only two were complete sets; the third was missing at least four pieces. It did not appear as though it had been opened, the pieces just weren't there to begin with. I was surprised that it actually got shipped to me that way because you can clearly see the pieces are missing without even having to open it. Great product though, just wish I had gotten all that I paid for.

I bought several of these as gifts and every kid I gave them to liked them. they were fun to play with and I got them on sale so they were also a good value.

This was a neat idea, however my son quickly lost interest. He colored the set and then was pretty much done with it. I am glad I did not pay more than $5 for it because it truly is not worth the original price of [...]. I feel for the parents that paid full price on this item. It entertained my son for a little while so I guess it's okay.
