(A unique creative outlet) 『If you've got a kid that loves to draw and experiment with new ways of creating art, this is a fun toy. My 6-year old hasn't played with it very frequently but when she does she enjoys it.
My only complaint is that it's impossible to keep all the stencils and extranneous pieces together, it needs a case.』
(Crayola Glow Station can create with Light!) 『I purshased this item as a gift, the smile he got on his face told us all... my friend's 5 year old can't stop playing with it.』
(Fun in the dark, for a 5 year old!) 『I bought this for my daughter's 5th birthday. She loves it!
The biggest problem we have with this is finding a dark enough place for it! We ended up using one of the bathrooms. There is a tough balance to find. You need some light otherwise every shadow shows up on it, but too much light and you will see nothing. The included stencils and shaders are nice but tend to be tossed aside when the kid finds them to difficult to use properly. This may be an age thing, but then again I had a problem with them as well.
DO NOT let your child press the 'diamond' tip against the mat or it will scratch it.
Overall this thing is a lot of fun but tears up a little too easy for the unsupervised. 』
(Not as good as expected) 『The idea of the toy is a lot of fun, but I didn't realize it was a "roll up" piece of plastic that needs to be hung on a wall. I thought it would be more of a sturdy board/tablet to use. It also does not have a "storage" to hold all of the pieces together. The glow concept is a lot of fun for children, just not well thought out in terms of how it was constructed.』 『The Crayola Glow Station lets kids create cool, glowing masterpieces using a glow-in-the-dark, poster-sized canvas and one Light Wand with crystal-tip attachment for magical coloring effects. Supplies include 2 stencil sheets, 13 stencil "light-resist" shapes, 2 light texture sheets and one dry erase broadline marker.』 『The award-winning Crayola Glow Station empowers kids to create incredible illustrations in a whole new way -- with light! The Glow Station is the place for kids to become glow-in-the-dark artists -- using a light wand and stencils to make luminous illustrations on the glow canvas. Drawing with the wand encourages kids to use the artistic and fine-motor skills they've started learning in school. Recommended for children ages six and up, this activity center is a fun way to create, alone or with a friend.

What We Think
Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor:
The Good: Glow-in-the-dark fun with loads of ways to play and create.
The Challenging: Stencils not as stimulating as freehand drawing.
In a Nutshell: Glowing canvas with light wand lets kids make amazing luminous creations.
The Glow Station comes with plenty of stencils and texture sheets for your child to experiment with. View larger.
Using the light wand, kids can create luminous, glow-in-the-dark drawings. View larger.
Award-winning Design: Kids and Parents Agree A 2009 Winner of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Best Toy Award, the Crayola Glow Station is a hit with kids and adults. Kids will love watching as their ideas literally come to light on the canvas. And parents will love how it works the imagination without creating a giant mess. It even helps cleans up after itself: Over time the light drawings magically disappear from the glow canvas, making room for more glow-in-the-dark works of art!
The perfect poster size for creating and displaying drawings, the glow canvas hangs well from a wall or bedroom door. The darker the location, the better it is for glowing. Made from durable blue plastic, the top and bottom of the canvas provide spaces for everything, including stencil-sheet hooks and holders for the light wand, crystal tip, and stencil shapes. And when it's time to be put away, the canvas rolls up for easy storage.
Start from Scratch or Take Some Pointers Packed with stencils and texture sheets, the Glow Station gives kids lots of places and ideas to start. Stencil sheets and shapes of animals and space objects let kids trace with the glowing light wand.
With the light texture sheets, they can give these shapes -- and their own creations -- lifelike effects, like spider webs and exotic animal prints. Of course, it's also fun to use the light wand to make luminous freehand drawings. Or, with the crystal tip attachment, create sparkling stars.
Ready, Set, Glow! The Crayola Glow Station stands out from ordinary glow-in-the-dark toys. Not only does it glow exceptionally well, but it encourages kids to play, use imagination, and create art in new ways. While the texture sheets give a cool dimension to stencil tracings, it's just as much fun -- and less cumbersome -- to draw freehand on the glow canvas. But with so many options, kids won't ever have to choose just one way to create with light.
What's in the Box Glow station light canvas, light wand with crystal attachment, 2 stencil sheets, 13 stencil tracer shapes, and 2 light texture sheets.

It is so adorable that i want to give it to her now. I even wanted to buy a 2nd one to leave in the car with her carseat. This doll is too cute.』
(Tra La La La...) 『Abby Cadabby is colorful and cute. She is well made and is fun to sit on the chair in my office. When I look at her I think of the video clip of her singing with great gusto, "Tra la la la. Tra la la la. Tra la la la la la la la!" Makes me laugh! I thought Abby would have been a little larger and would love it if she could sing that song! Still, she is fun and well constructed.』

(Abby Cadabby Stuffed Doll) 『This Abby Cadabby Doll is very nice&she is soft&cuddley as well. The only thing that could be better would be Abby Cadabby as a puppet.

Unfortunately she would tear, shred and otherwise wreak havoc on the paper dolls and is no longer allowed to play with them. So Santa gave this to her for Christmas and it was love at first sight! She will spend hours carrying her dolls around and dressing them and playing with them. Way to go Santa - Great Job on this gift!!!!
The only caution I would offer is that the some of the magnets are small and easily swallowed. It takes some discipline to keep track of all the pieces and not leave little magnets lying around.』
(girls love this) 『My girls love this, much better than the paper dolls I grew up with. My only complaint is the wonderful sectioned storage box needs a lid. The pieces are impossibly small to keep track of, this would be perfect with a lid that slid off and on.』
(Nice but no slider to pack it up) 『This is my daughters 2nd Melissa and Doug magnetic doll set. She loved the 1st one she got many years ago so much, I wanted her to have this double set. The dolls and clothes are great but it is missing one thing that was key for me in terms of putting toys away--the slider cover. Why did you cheap out Melissa and Doug and not provide a cover for this toy for kids in order for them to put their toys away???? My daughter now just says "Everything is going to fall out anyway, so why clean it up." I am in the process of finding a nice bag or something in order to have her actually store it away.』
(Ok toy - magents are not strong enough though) 『This is a neat toy and my 3 and 2 year old daughters really like it. The magnets on this toy are not strong enough though and the clothes don't stick very well. Also the case that the toy comes in does not have a cover so all the clothes pieces fall out easily.』
(Not quite what I hoped for) 『This is a very cute toy, no doubt about it. However, if you want to teach your child modesty in dressing, and if you want your little boys to retain some innocence in what they see, this is probably not the toy to get. Once I received it, I realized that without any of the magnetized clothes, each doll has just a set of panties and training bra on, rather than a slip or something that covers the whole midsection. Also, a few of the outfits are skimpy - very short shorts&skirts, and midriff tops. Not the kind of example I'd want to set for little girls. Disappointing.』 『Abby and Emma love to play dress-up and exchange mix and match outfits. These two wooden, magnetic friends come with stands and hundreds of dress-up options for hours of fun!』

One carries her pets, and the other carries larger accessories. The top of of the case has three other sections you can open to store smaller parts. The cases are very colorful too. She knows exactly where her LPS toys are. It teaches her the importance of good organization. We love 'em!』
(My girls LOVE this!) 『Bought this case for my 6 yr old daughter and 2 neices,also 6...they LOVE it! They are all crazy over their LPS collection and this case is perfect for storing away the tiny pieces that come with LPS and makes it easy to find for next play time.』
(A good necessity!) 『My daughter is 3 and we use this to store her littlest pets and some of the furniture for her Dora dollhouse. It is a great case for storage and for taking things places. The only drawback is the top storage compartments; they do not stay closed, so now we don't use them at all. Pieces were spilling everywhere anytime we carried the case around.』
(Good for what it is. My daughter was thrilled to get it.) 『The carrying case is just that, a plastic carrying case. The unique feature is that it has compartments on the top where individual LPS figures can be placed, and of course has the LPS logo on it. My 5yo daughter was thrilled to get it and uses it every day. I purchased this online for half the price they had it at the store so I felt it was worth it. The container itself is a decent size and you can put some of the smaller LPS playsets in addition to a whole lot of LPS figures. It has a handle for carrying. It is really functional. The only negative, is that the clasp that fastens it shut comes off pretty easily if it's pulled at the wrong angle. The clasp is the kind that you pull out then up, as opposed to just pulling it directly towards you to open. My daughter has unintentionally pulled the clasp off quite a few times, it probably isn't the best type of fastener to have the littler kids, who this is directed to. Truly any plastic container can do what this does, overall though, it is a decent product and since my daughter actually puts her toys in it because it is LPS, I think it was a good purchase.』
(Must Have!) 『If you have Littlest Pet Shop toys in your house this item is an absolute must have. This will hold tons of pet shop animals, all the little accessories and you can organize it! I absolutely love it and it has made it so much easier to keep up with all the Pet Shoppers!!』 『Carry your tiny pets in this amazing case! The purr-fect way to carry your pets anywhere you go! This Littlest Pet Shop Carry Case holds more than 150 pets and makes it easy to keep track of all your best friends. Pets sold separately.』
Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (We Love the Winkel) 『My 4 and 1/2 month old son loves the winkel. I got it as a Christmas present for him after hearing a lot of good reviews and we weren't disappointed. At the time he was just starting to grasp toys and this was easy for him to grab and move. The bright colors keep his attention and he likes to put it in his mouth now. I feel the winkel has really helped his development and I would recommend it to anyone with kids around 3-6 months.』
(Perfect Baby Gift) 『 I purchased this for my 7 month old grandbaby for christmas, this is a GREAT baby toy, we could not get it away from her, if your baby is teething it is so easy for the baby to hold onto this and bite on it, it is durable, and flexable. I was very pleased with this item, as was my Daughter-in-law.』
(Each child is different) 『I heard RAVES about this Winkel. It's great for teething, etc etc but for some reason my daughter doesn't LOVE IT. Yes she'll play with it sometimes but it's defiantly not her favorite toy. She likes Sophie the Giraffe way better for teething.』
(Tactile chewy toy) 『...waited til the last minute to send a gift for an infant....her parents told me she loved it and that it got there in record time!』
(Excellent Grab&Hold Toy) 『Well made, quality materials, colorful. This makes an excellent gift toy for those early months. Everyone loved it, especially the baby.』 『Engage and amuse your baby with the fascinating Winkel.

Core2Duoノートレビュー 's review (Very Fun&Educational Game!) 『I've been looking for a fun, educational game for my 3 year old and finally found it. My daughter loves it and wants to play it all the time. After only a couple of weeks of playing it, she now knows most of the letters and numbers in the game. I've tried to use puzzles and books for her to learn her numbers&letters but it wasn't until we got the game that she really started to pick them up. I've made the game more fun by sticking different "treasures" in the treasure chest and sirprising her every time. After I did that a number of times, she really wanted to play with the game. It's even fun for adults...not so mind numbing like the rest of the games for 3-4 year olds.』
(Cranium Cariboo) 『The five year old enjoyed the game as it was designed to be played. The soon-to-be three year old didn't have a clue. Would I buy it for another child? Probably not.』
(Wow, now that's good!!) 『My daughter does nothing else but play this game!! She won't eat, sleep, and sometimes I even have to check to make sure she's still breathing! Is this abuse? I don't know but it sure is fun!! The box is even edible!! ...packed full of fiber and nutrients! ...okay, that may be a bit of a stretch, but I can assure you that the number one reason she'll probably get into Harvard will be Cranium Cariboo! Thank you Cranium Cariboo!! :)』

(lose one part and you can't play) 『We have received this game as a gift for both birthday and christmas (people LOVE IT!)Being a homeschooling mom I thought it was a great educational game idea. The first time we played we lost one of the balls, I guess they boys were having more fun bouncing them and throwing them than doing what they were meant for (at the time he was 3). We tried to substitute another type of bouncy ball thing, but it just wouldn't fit properly. We just got this for christmas, and it's already started again. This time, upon knowing that we could potentially lose the parts and not be able to play, I was meticulous about putting the game away and making sure all the pieces were there. of course even by being careful, we've misplaced the key (we now use a pen or screwdriver) one ball, and a few of the "door" cards, it's been 3 weeks and we've played it 3 times. Now with makeshift drawn door cards (the cards on the flip open doors) a screwdriver and whatever ball we can find to replace the lost one, we can maybe play the game.
PROS: fun treasure hunt idea that kids love, kids like opening the doors and hand eye is developed with the small "keyhole" and key, color and letter recognition made fun and competitive.
CONS: no replacement parts, if you lose a door card you can't play. other parts can be substituted if you're creative and you're kids don't mind not using the "Real" game pieces. treasure at the end is always the same. age range is not accurate this should be for UP TO 5 or MAYBE a 6 year old. my 8 year old niece played it once and was bored by the end.』 『3 years&up. Magical treasure hunt game that reinforces four early learning fundamentals: letters, numbers, shapes and colors. Includes Cariboo Island game board, six treasure balls, two sets of cards (beginner and advanced), one key, a treasure chest, and rules sheet. For 2 to 4 players.』
