Expert Review: Crayola’s Color Wonder Fingerpaint & Stamper Activity Kit

This activity kit from Crayola allows little artists to test the limits of their creativity while avoiding major messes. The ink is only activated once it touches the included Color Wonder paper, but won’t stain fingertips, clothes, or any other surface. There are five stamps of different animals (a chameleon, an orangutan, a flamingo, an elephant, and a giraffe) to give kids more ways to make art. It’s a great kit for kids who love to stretch their creative muscles, but may sometimes get a little carried away and leave messes behind.

The ink is invisible unless used on the included paper, making clean-ups a breeze. Despite being invisible, the inks’ colors are vibrant once they develop on the paper. The kit also has a lid that stores all the stamps and the stamper tool, making it a great portable choice to take on car trips or while waiting for food at a restaurant. It’s also a fun way for young kids to strengthen fine motor skills and stretch their imaginations.

The set comes with 10 special coloring pages, so parents may want to stock up on the 50-packs of the Crayola Color Wonder Mess Free Blank Coloring Pages (sold separately) to keep the fun going! If kids are finger painting with this set, have them wash their hands after they’re done to avoid ingesting the residual ink.

Preschoolers; kids who love to get creative; parents who may want an easy, mess-free travel activity
