zoo reviews: Crayola Color Cyclone

We've been playing outside so much lately with all this nice weather. I decided the kids needed something fun to play with and went closet diving for all those unwrapped summer toys I stashed last year. I came across the Crayola Color Cyclone and decided to give it a shot. It looked pretty easy to operate for both Madison and Jacob so why not right?

WRONG. It was horrible. The kids never got a chance to touch it since it was so hard to add the paint and once I got it "working" it sprayed paint from the top of the contraption all over everyone and everything in a 3 1/2 to 4' radius. Yup, it peppered the kids, the stroller, the two cars, and the deck...stupendous. This is what we were left with after a lot of hard work (notice the spray zone and keep in mind how close you need to stand in order to add paint):

Don't get me wrong, I usually find Crayola products to be well made, fun, and not to mention a life saver (i.e. Crayola Wonder). Sadly, Crayola failed to impress me with this product.

Moms Beware.
