      Is Color Wonder Safe?

      • Just like all Crayola products, Color Wonder is nontoxic. To learn more about the safety of all Crayola products, click here.

       

      What makes Color Wonder different from Washable Markers and Paints?

      • Color Wonder inks and paints are clear, and colors appear only on special Color Wonder paper. Kids love to watch the colors magically appear, and parents love the fact that Color Wonder inks and paints will not appear on skin, walls or carpet.

       

      What Color Wonder products are available?

      • There are so many ways to create with Color Wonder! With Color Wonder markers, paints, and stampers the possibilities are endless. Learn more about the Crayola Color Wonder line here.

       

      Can I reuse my Color Wonder Paper?

      • You cannot reuse the same piece of Color Wonder paper twice.

      • Have questions about your Color Wonder Magic Light Brush? We have the answers!

        For Best Results:

        • Always protect your work surface!

        • If your set has a paint pot strip, it must be snapped into the base until it clicks for the Magic Light Brush to operate

        • Turn the power switch to the "on" position. – The unit is "on" when the switch is under the l. The O indicates "off".

        • If your set has a paint pot strip, check to ensure the brush tip is tightened. To activate the light brush, hold the brush tip over a single paint pot. Watch the bristles turn the color of the paint inside. Dip the bristles into the gel paints and start painting on the Color Wonder Paper (a thin layer of paint works best). The brush tip will stay illuminated for approximately 10 seconds while it goes from paint to paper.

        • If your set has paint pads,the handle will light up and cycle through all the colors. When that is done, press the bristles in the middle of the paint pad for a few seconds.The handle will temporarily light up the color of the paint. Brush the bristles against the paint pad several times. An invisible layer of paint will stick to the bristles. Brush onto Color Wonder Paper and watch the colors magically appear! 

        • Between each color change, wipe the bristles with a dry paper towel.

        • When creative time is done, be sure to close the paint pot strip covers to prevent the paint from drying out.

        • If your set has paint pads, the cover should be placed on to protect the paint pads. Since the paint pads will not dry out, the cover does not need to be airtight and replacing the paint pads is not necessary. The paint pads are securely sealed in the unit during the manufacturing process and not removable, so we do not recommend attempting to remove them. 

         

        Battery Savers:

        • To help preserve battery life, the Magic Light Brush will automatically turn off after 5 minutes if unused.
        • To reactivate, push power switch to "off" and then back "on". Turn the power switch off and then on.

      • In 1993 we conducted a poll to find out the most popular colors in America. Blue was voted the most popular CRAYOLA Crayon color. Rounding the top ten were red, violet, green, carnation pink, black, turquoise blue, blue green, periwinkle and magenta.

        In 2000, we did another Crayola Color Census, and blue again reigns as number one! Six other shades of blue finished in the Top 10 including cerulean, midnight blue, aquamarine, periwinkle, denim and blizzard blue.  The other colors rounding out the list included purple heart, caribbean green and cerise.
      • Have questions about your Washable Paint Pour Art Set? We have the answers!

         

        For Best Results:

        • Protect your clothing and work surface. Paint play can be messy!
        • Wet canvases will also need a protected, flat surface for drying.
        • Slow and steady when pouring your paint.
        • Let your canvas dry for at least 5 minutes before removing it from the tray.
        • Use the basic pour technique for a unique outcome each time.
        • Use the advanced pour techniques with strainer for amazing patterns.
        • Try it with neon, metallic or glitter paints too!

        Pro Tips:

        • Use the tray handles to tilt and turn the canvas in any direction.
        • When the picture is complete, use the handles & tray to carry wet canvas to your drying area.
        • Use 3 to 4 colors for the most interesting results; colors will mix and blend to create unexpected new shades.
        • Rinse the beaker before adding a new color.

        Make sure you have these items before starting your project (not included in your set):

        • Water
        • Paper Cups
        • ½ Tablespoon
        • Paper Towels
        • Painters Tape
        • String

        Refills:

        • Need more canvases to keep the fun going? We recommend purchasing thin, 6x6 canvases (that aren't specifically intended for use with acrylic paint) at your local craft store or online at Amazon.

        Cleanup! Always do the following before storing your set:

        • Rinse paint off of the bowl, adapters, tray, strainer, handles, breaker, and pipette.
        • Re-cap the paint bottles securely.
        • Do not pour any used paint back into the original container.

        If you have additional questions, we would love to hear from you! Feel free to call or text us at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time. If you would prefer to send us an email, visit our contact us page.
