Cons Review
Not one of their best products . First, I'd like to say we love the color wonder markers and the fingerpaint. This product has the soft sticks that are almost like the waxy finger paints in a stick form. Think of your child using a chapstick to draw with and you'll get the idea. We purchased two of these for our 5 year and 2.5 year olds. From the minute they opened it, the waxy "paint" part of the sticks were breaking off. It became almost impossible to draw with these sticks and my children were very disappointed with them. They did love the coloring books that came with this kit and went on to use the books with the color wonder MARKERS (which I highly recommend.) That said, it's too pricey for just the book and a shame the sticks don't work better. Please save your money on this one and go for the Color Wonder Markers or Fingerpaints instead.
Can be had for less; softsticks stink . These Color Wonder items are fantastic. My 2-year-old loves the markers, and I just got him the paint brushes. They do not make a mark on anything except for the special Color Wonder paper. I just discovered the soft sticks today while looking for the paint brushes. I came across this very package for five less than advertised above. I didn't buy it because I don't need or want the coloring books included - I have about 10 already. Nevertheless, this is a great package for someone with young children who doesn't yet know the wonder of Color Wonders.
UPDATE: I still love Color Wonder stuff. My 2-year-old is now 4 and I have a new 2-year-old who also digs Color Wonder. But the soft sticks stink. They're like lip balm, so, although they don't spread color on anything beside the special paper, they spread gunk all over the place. Stick to the markers or even the brushes.

Not great for toddlers. . I bought this product for a 2 1/2 year old as a mess-free alternative to crayons and paints. I believe this is the marketing angle. With that in mind: The soft sticks crumble when they are colored with. For young children who may turn them up too far, they break off in larger chunks as well. The Color Wonder colors do not appear as soon as the product is applied to the paper. There is a bit of a delay which ended with my child scribbling harder which caused more crumbling. The material the soft sticks are made out of is somewhat greasy. Although they may not mark some surfaces, I still don't want this greasy material mashed into my sofa.
My daughter does enjoy playing with this product but I don't enjoy the mess. So if you are looking for a mess free way for your young child to color, I don't believe this product will satisfy.
