[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My three kids age 7-11 had fun with this. I will start out by saying as a mom I love that this can all be stored in itself! Also, it gives you a tool to make the right size paper circles yourself once the initial is used up, saving me from having to buy additional materials. The device is simple to use and self explanatory for the most part. we did have a few issues though. First, the spinning mechanism stopped for awhile, but eventually it worked. I think it needs a break after a while. Second, the markers that came with were a little dried out. Overall, it was fun and worked well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my 8yr old and 12yr old. We found that the stencils did not have much variety in shape. On the box and pictures it shows detailed art pieces but the markers are too thick to do what is advertised. You can still make some okay pretty basic designs but that's about it. With the dropping of the paint onto the spinner, it went pretty well. It was fun to experiment with and drop the paint onto. The paints often make bubbles when coming out but we didn't find that as a problem. I'm not sure what the glasses are meant to do, it doesn't make anything 3D but makes faint extra lines.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I appreciate that F.A.O takes us back to the good old days when life was still simple and technology free… I’m certain that my 9 year old has no idea what a record player looks like or has never heard of spin art before, but she loves creating all types of different art. One of my first thoughts after opening was- “What if we run out of paper? Is there any way to repurchase paper circles?” F.A.O thought about everything! On the bottom of the workstation, there is a ruler so you can create more paper circles anything you run out. The Glow Swirl & Spiral Art set is easy to use. There aren’t a ton of buttons and everything is pretty self explanatory. My 9 year old got the hang of everything pretty quickly and started to create art in no time! With the three (3) included gears, you are able to create endless designs. The paper slides around a little bit while creating spiral art so the spirals don’t always start and end in the exact same spot. Spin art is a big hit in our house! You don’t have to worry about paint splatters all over the place since the „mess“ is contained inside the sunken in part of the platform. Clean up takes no time as long as the pain it still wet. I hate a messy „work area“ and love that the markers and paint have a dedicated place on top of the platform. When not in use, all of the supplies can be securely stored in the storage compartment on the underside of the platform.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My girls are big into art and creating and are obsessed with this Toy Spin and Twist 3D Art with LED. It does require batteries, so make sure to grab some! Overall it was super easy for my 13 and 9 year old to do all on their own and create fun spin art creations. The 3d effect is pretty awesome too!

It’s a great product until you run out of paper. I can’t find refill paper in store or online.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My two sons loved this to start. The colors, the light, the spinning. They started by using the stencils and making patterns in the circle, but that proved a little tricky. I also noticed the markers got in the middle and almost ripped a hole in the paper. The spin table for paint was also fun to start. But as the ink fell, it collected on the sides of the spinner and needed to be cleaned. It was rather hard to pop out the paper without bending it. Overall, I liked the idea, however I don't think this offers a lot of replayability for my kids. They had fun, but haven't asked to get it out again.

My Granddaughter loves this but it does not spin evenly. It's like it's unbalanced because a lot of the paint seems to fall to one side.
Aaaa
The spin art hits my heart! I used to go to the local carnival and do it! so when I write disappointed it stinks! We were so excited to use it, the battery died within 5 paint experiences. I wish there was a plug! an actual plug would change my review to a 5!

Stopped working after 5 minutes. Even bought new batteries to try and the tray barely spins.
