Scented Spinning Art Machine

I love this and so does the neighborhood framily. Purchased to use at my daughters birthday party. It has been a big hit since we opened it. The product had been used several weeks prior to the party and during the course of the party. Children from 3 to 8 used it during the party as well as the 20 - 30 year olds. At 40+years myself, this has been fun to use. My daughter at 4 loves it, and I have no problem allowing her to play with it when ever I'm able to supervise. We have not had any splatter or paint mishaps and it is simple to clean. I purchased large bottles of tempera pain and some large squeeze bottles for additional colors. The little bottles are re-fillable, but I have not done so myself since I purchased large bottles. The paper is an odd shape, however I cut extra paper from old scrapbook pads of patterns I wont use. Further, I purchased this product because another individual posted you can use 5x7 paper which was my primary reason to buy. I purchased heavy card stock for the party and cut to 5x7. It works great, however the splash guard does not work with the 5x7 paper. This was not a big deal for me as I simply placed it in a card board box that I coved with wrapping paper to match the party décor (attached pictures reflect the build up of paint on the inside of the box without the splash guard after hours of use). It's low velocity so paint does not fly everywhere and in the box worked perfect. Since this purchase I've had the neighbor kids over for spin art and they enjoyed it so much the parents have purchased a spin machine for their kids as well. This one is battery operated so I feel like my daughter can focus more on her artwork than pumping to keep the machine in motion. The machine is plastic, light weight and the splash guard is a clear plastic ring that sits on top. Again we have never had any paint splash outside of the unit. Super easy to use and so happy I got it. This has been one of the best purchases in a long time and a lot cheaper than majority of her toys.

Title: Great Art Spinner for Kids, with a Few Considerations I purchased three of these art spinners for my toddlers, aged 2, 3, and 4. Although the product specifies an older age range, I found it to be suitable for the 3- and 4-year-olds with a little supervision. Even the 2-year-old can enjoy it under supervision. This product works like a charm and is a great value for money. Cleaning it is a breeze, and I appreciate how easy it is to set up. Just keep in mind that it requires two C batteries to operate. One thing to note is that while it claims to have scented paint, the paint itself does not have any noticeable scent. If you are considering buying it for the scented aspect, you may be disappointed. However, you can reuse the paint bottles if desired. Removing the top can be a bit challenging, requiring pliers or even using your teeth. Alternatively, I recommend purchasing 2-ounce bottles on Amazon for easier refills. You can use paint from any company, and adding glitter paint from Michaels was a hit with the kids. Amazon sells some recommended replacement paper, but unfortunately, it doesn't fit the holders on the spinner. They’re too small Instead of purchasing replacement paper, I found it more practical to use white or construction paper and trace and cut them to size. Alternatively, you can tape Amazon replacement paper onto the spinner, which also works. It's all about personal preference. One thing to note is that the spinner does not have any padding on the bottom, so be cautious when it’s on a smooth surface table. While pressing the button on or off you’ll need to hold the spinner securely with your other hand, or it may move around. All in all, this is a fantastic product, especially considering its affordable price. The only letdown is the lack of scented paint as advertised. Nevertheless, I highly recommend it.. so go ahead and order it! This came from Florida and I was ordering from NYC. It got here a day or two days before expected.

This is a great toy. My kids used to have one of these, I bought a bunch of different color inks and I'm now having a ball myself using this! ;) For ME! And I'm 66 years old. The spinning platen works as expected, the narrow shield around the edge does seem to keep ink / paint from flying out into space (which would be messy). Here's what I took a star off for: a) I HATE the battery compartments on toys that need a mini-phillips screwdriver to remove and replace the battery compartment cover, Why can't they put a spring latch molded into the plastic like on remote control units (most of them). Maybe mandated by some law to keep kids from swallowing the batteries, but that's "a". b) The paint thinggies that came with it are crap. - If you're going to have good graphics with this, buy colored inks (like Bombay or Dr. Ph. Martin) while you're waiting for the toy to arrive.

my 4-yr old and 7-year-old loved this

I mistakingly bought two of the spin art machines for our grandsons birthday. The company is in the United States and I am in Canada. I had to ship one of the spin art machines back and was totally in shock that it was going to cost me $60.00 for shipping and I paid $42.71 for this product. Which by the way is not at all worth more than $10.00. The company said they would pay up to $27.00 for shipping back this item. So do the math - basically I would get a credit of 9.71. I thought I would get the shipping free but obviously not. I will never deal with this company again. What a rip off. Beware !

Product works well. Grandkids love using it. Wish paper sizing for small square was better.

Arrived fast, packaged well. My sone loves it and always seems to go back to it so i know he loves it. Happy with purchase

A great way to allow kids to entertain themselves, create art and immediately see results. Keeps them busy for hours!

Very happy with this machine. Very easy to use. Both my 5 and 2 years old are enjoying .
