When it comes to finding the best Christmas gifts, choosing presents that inspire creativity is a must for me. And that’s why, year after year, I’ll find myself choosing the newest products from Crayola. From simple crayons and markers to fun art gadgets like the Crayola Air Marker Sprayer we reviewed last year, I can always count on Crayola to inspire my boys’ imaginations.
This year, we were given the chance to review the Crayola Magic Scene Creator. This clever portable art device gives my boys the chance to create all kinds of pictures, stories and scenes that come to life with the push of a button. The screen has an innovative light that, when switched on, turns the included Motion Cards into roaring dragons, swimming fish, sparkling stars and more!
What I love most about the Crayola Magic Scene Creator is that my boys can choose between using just the cards to create a fun scene, or combining the Motion Cards with their own drawings. Some cards feature arms, legs, wings or facial features to help stimulate new ideas and let a child’s imagination run wild. Benjamin had a blast combining cards and his own artwork to create a hilarious dancing monster.
And best off all, the device features storage in the back for the Motion Cards and markers, making it great for minimizing mess and for out-of-the-house fun. With so many planning holiday vacations and road trips, the Magic Scene Creator is a great choice for fun in the car or when visiting family.
