Crayola Washable Ready Mix Paint (4 pack)

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Crayola


AWFUL STUFF!!!

My little boy turned blue he looked like a smurf!! It was all over his hands and up his arms and bless him all over his mouth! You know what kids are like when they get painting, well off we trotted to the bathroom and would it come out....NO!! So he spent the next two days with blue hands and arms, luckily it's winter and the paint did come off his mouth.

I complained to Crayola and this was the answer: In some cases it may take SEVERAL WASHES before the staining is removed. The removal may be aided by the use of an oily substance such as Baby Oil.....

Where on the packaging does it say you should buy Baby oil??

Imagine if this got on your carpet or furniture...........Mines ... Read More:

Aquabeads Bumper Bead Refill Pack

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Aqua Beads


I couldn't find these in the local toy shop and have been buying starter kits for over the odds to keep my niece supplied.

These are more or less identical to the Bindeez and provide a subtle range of extra colours.

One thing that ticked me off was that if you look at the box pictured you think you're getting far more than you actually are. The visible clear plastic area shows what you'll be getting while the area around it is superfluous packaging.

I think these are a great toy if your kids have the patience to set them straight and let them dry off adequately.

The alternative is the Hama bead sets which need adult supervision to use a steam iron to bind the beads together. Ultimately the Hama ... Read More:

Crayola Doodle Doug

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Arts and Crafts
from: Crayola


My daughter really enjoys Doodle Doug, but the pens simply aren't good enough - they do not last, which means sourcing them from the manufacturer as no others appear to fit properly. Sourcing them takes about 2-3 weeks so toy has sat in cupboard unused for that time.

Good, but could be so much better with just a little thought.
