Never again will you have the worry that your children's artwork shall be adorning your walls and furniture instead of their coloring books. Crayola has come up with a truly 'magic' marker that works only on a paper that is supplied by the company. Ingenious. Not only does it halt our minds wandering about how to get the marker off of our furniture, they ensure that the sheets that they manufacture is sold instead of regular paper.

The beauty part is that this magical product is not only found in their markers. They also have finger paint, paint filled brushes, and crayons that come with special paper. Everything is clear until it is applied to the paper supplied by Crayola. These kits often will come with your choice of a set of one, and a book of coloring pages. Crayola has enhanced this product for the children by offering many different 'Disney' coloring books to choose from.

From the sweet Tinkerbell to the famous Toy Story, your child may enter the wonderful world of Disney through whichever character he/she chooses. Kits are available, with a variety of different products, some contain each type of the Wonder Color line. They even offer posters, as well as what's called a 'Mega sheet' of paper which measures two feet by two feet! Even the regular paper can be bought in refills, so that your child can allow their imagination to grow, without boundaries of pre-set characters.

You can buy your child a lap-desk set, or a tote that will store the color sets when not in use. The paper is available in plain paper, lined paper, tablets, a book of alphabets, and a book of numbers. They even offer a Color Wonder sprayer with stencils.

Though it has been said that even though the color does not show up on walls, that it is visible if you ever try to paint over it. The answer is simple, in you must use a primer when repainting your walls (which most people do anyway). So, make sure that your child does not try to pull a Picasso on your wall. Though it states that it should be used by children nine and up, my young niece has a set and she loves them. And, I must say it; they do work.
