Crayola Super Brush By chesneychic on - Updated Sep 18, 2011

I normally love the Crayola brand and with summer coming thought this would be a great toy for my kids so I bought two. We used it once and put it in the trash. It is a long green handle and comes with different brush attachments that you can put on it also included 2 different color paints and a paint tray. When we tried to put the paint in the tray it was in one big glob so it took about 10 minutes of trying to warm the paint up with our hands. It is very hard to get the paint on the brush you have to dip it completely in the paint cup so the whole end of the brush is a mess. Once we finally got it loaded the paint barely shows up on the sidewalk and as soon as they would start drawing they would have to stop so we could refill again . We had paint all over our hands, clothes and shoes everywhere but the sidewalk. The brushes were horrible and when we tried to use the splat one it jsut made a bigger mess. After about a half hour of the kids trying to draw and nothing showing up they told me just to throw them away.

Crayola is usually a good brand but I will definately stay away from this one.

Oh that is just too bad about this brush & I too am surprised since this is a Crayola product.

Wow, thanks for the warning. I agree with you, I would have assumed that being from Crayola, it would be a good product. This just sounds like one big mess though! And that is not a cheap price either. I will know to stay away from this one..Thanks again!

To bad, I am surprised because I always thought Crayola made great products. This would be a lot fun if it worked right! Wonder though did the kids have fun getting paint all over them? Hope they at least got to enjoy that!

Oh no! Normally CRayola has top quality products, sounds like this one slipped through QC some how :(
