Crayola has long been a trusted name in the toy world and with the Crayola Glow Station they live up to the name. I'm the uncle of twelve nieces and nephews (yes twelve) so I know a little about toy buying (trust me I know when I've given a dud toy!).
I recently purchased the Glow Station for my nephew on his birthday and must say I was impressed. The Glow Station is a poster sized, light sensitive canvas that uses a "light pen" to draw glow in the dark pictures. Use it free hand or use the many stencils it comes with to create "matterpieces" as my nephew calls them. However, these works of art can not be saved. They fade after five minutes or so.
The Crayola Glow Station can be hung on the wall and is recommended for ages six to fifteen but we placed it on the floor and let the two year old have at it. He absolutely loved it when we turned all the lights off and his artwork was glowing in the dark! I even wanted to try it out. Why couldn't they have toys like this when I was a kid?
My sister-in-law also found another great use for the Glow Station: Bed-time.
When you're telling the bed-time story just draw a few pictures to go along with it and in no time the little ones are out like a light. I think the glow in the dark effect lulls them off to sleep. It also works like a nightlight for a bit.
So, in my opinion, The Crayola Glow Station gets a big thumbs up! The canvas is very durable and cleans up well. Both the boys seem to love it and my brother and his wife are thankful for it's help making bed-time a little easier. It makes a great gift anytime of the year. I can't wait to use it outside when we camp out in the back yard!
Trust me, this is going to be a Hot Holiday Toy! Get a Great Deal Here before they're all sold out.
