GlowCrazy “Glowin’ the Dark Distance Doodler” Review

ABOUT:

GlowCrazy is the hottest new glow-in-the-dark toy that lets kids (and adults, too!) draw from a distance on the wall (or ceiling) using light.  The designs will glow in the dark for an extended period of time, allowing kids to explore their creativity on any flat surface with the GlowCrazy Distance Doodler and jumbo wall clings.

Unlike other glow toys, the GlowCrazy Distance Doodler Magic Lightwand works from 10 feet away. The dual-action glow-beam generator makes it easy to draw with both skinny and wide beams of light. The glow-beam generator is perfect for creating your own fun GlowLand: write your name, draw your dog, play Tic-Tac-Glow or put on a spectacular GlowCrazy light show. The jumbo removable peel-and-stick wall clings can be placed on the wall, the ceiling or any other flat surface and removed quickly and easily, with no damage or sticky residue.

Perfect for anyone age six and up, the GlowCrazy Distance Doodler provides fun and wholesome entertainment that encourages kids to explore their creative side. GlowCrazy also offers the Doodle Dome and Glow-to-Go products for kids ages 3 and up.

Each GlowCrazy kit includes the Dual-Action Distance Doodler Magic Lightwand, two jumbo canvas wall clings, four stencils to help you create magical designs and tip booklet filled with games and design ideas to help you GlowCrazy, all for just $24.99. As an added bonus, orders placed online at www.glowcrazy.com come with a free bonus wide-beam Glow Wand, double the sheets of GlowCrazy canvas and four additional stencils for even more GlowCrazy fun.

MY THOUGHTS:

I cannot believe how much my sons (ages 2 and 4) love GlowCrazy!  I put up one of the canvas wall clings, showed them how it worked, and they immediately started fighting over who would use the Lightwand first!  It is such a simple concept, aiming a flashlight-type thing at the wall, but it is amazing how the light stays on the canvas cling.  It does last only a minute or so on the cling but that just allows your child to keep drawing!  It is not meant to be used to keep masterpieces or jot down notes on, it basically is great for doodling or playing quick little games like Tic-Tac-Toe!

The GlowCrazy Kit did come with stencils and an extra canvas cling, but so far we have just used one cling and drew freehand.  I placed the canvas cling on the wall in our playroom and while it didn’t leave a residue or any marks on the wall, it did fall down after a day or so.  It does say to just use some regular tape on it if it doesn’t stick anymore and I haven’t had any issues since using that.  Each canvas cling is also a nice size and can be even bigger when you place them together on the wall.

I am going to pick up another kit so I can place these in my son’s room so they can each doodle before bed!  Since this is a product that uses a Lightwand, it obviously works best in the dark.  Overall, we are really pleased with the GlowCrazy kit and I am not only going to purchase another one but I am curious to check out their other products including the Doodle Dome and Glow-to-Go (small kit for traveling)!

BUY IT: GlowCrazy kits can be purchased online at www.glowcrazy.com (comes with bonus accessories) or check out select retial stores like Walmart!
