Crayola Beginnings Creativity Central By Mean_Queen on Sep 18, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

The Crayola Beginnings Creativity Center is a great way to inspire your budding artist.... without the mess. One side of the easel has a gel pad where your little one can finger-paint or use the 3 included stampers to create shapes. The other side of the easel uses a pen that you fill with water to color on the special surface. When the water dries, the special paper is ready to use over and over again. One problem we found is kids tend to use too much water and some parts of the paper didn't turn white again. The Creativity Center is portable. You can use it flat, like in a car or anywhere on the go. Or you can set it up like an easel for use at home. The age range for this toy is 18 months and up. My 18 month old really likes it as does my 8 year old. It's a toy I think you can get a lot of use out of.
