My Take on the Book
My eldest daughter (who is nine) loves art and loves doing anything she can with art, so I was intrigued by the idea of this product. In trying this I was hesitant at first because in researching the product first I saw a number of negative reviews online, but I kept an open mind to see what I thought and see how the product worked for my daughter.

The idea of this product is that you use color magnets to make images completely pop off the page. The magnets themselves are sorted into the color pens (as I would call them), based on size and then you can use the product itself. To explain this a little better let me try and illustrate an example. After my daughter made her first image, she cleared the screen my pushing the magnets to the top which makes them go into the back of the product where you sorts the colors, then by the process of shaking, tilting and cajoling you can the individual magnets back to the individual color pens that you have connected into the product itself. You do have to work on this and for younger kids this process might be a bit frustrating, so beware. My nine year old enjoyed the sorting process, but my five year old lost interest after a bit.

My nine year old really enjoyed using the color pens which drop the magnets onto the drawings and allow the user to make the images completely pop out with color. The 3D glasses somewhat enhance the image, but to me it did not make a tremendous difference. The product itself does come with a number of initial images/templates that you can use and you can purchase additional templates if you like as well.

I know that the company also just released an app that will work with an IPad that will enhance the images that you create on this. Seeing that I don't have an IPad I was not able to try this, but I am intrigued into how this works with the creations too. 

All-in-all I can say that my nine-year-old daughter enjoyed this. It did take some time to get used to the color pens, but in the end she did get used to them and she enjoyed creating the new art pieces on the product itself. As mentioned, my five year old did have a bit more difficulty, so be aware of the age parameters on this.
