User Submitted Mirror-aculous Art Activities Kit - Circus ReviewsDate: 2008-11-07 Fun for 5- to 85-year-old "kids"! What a fun family activity! We have large extended-family dinners twice a month. I put a Mirror-aculous art page out and several family members can simultaneously use the waiting time, before dinner is ready, to color, working together to create a mirror-aculous piece of art. We like using color pencils for better control in the small spaces. Markers do not work well as test touches (to find the correct spot) leave a mark behind and crayons are sometimes too thick for the intricate details. I love to just stand back and listen and watch the interaction between my grandchildren and their cousins and aunts and uncles. It bridges the age gap that often separates us when we try to play games since this is simple enough and interesting enough to keep everyone engaged. The subscription plan brings a new picture each month, so we haven't run out of fresh ones yet! Keep the new pix coming and we love scenes other than the circus too!! Date: 2008-06-25 Educational and Fun in One! Both my 5 year old daughter and my 3 year old so really enjoyed the crazy twisted images turning into a picture in the mirrored-glass. Coloring can sometimes be boring for my daughter, but the challenge of distorted, upside-down coloring captured her attention for hours. Highly recommend! Super fun and educational! -SR Date: 2007-05-01 Great fun for all I bought a Ooz and Oz Mirror-aculous Art Kit to use as an activity at my daughter's birthday party. All the kids in attendance had a blast coloring their pictures and seeing what appeared in the mirror. Since everyone enjoyed it so much the the morphing kits became a favorite Christmas and birthday gift to give to my kid's friends and neices and nephews. You won't be disappointed. Date: 2007-04-25 Great for any age I originally ordered the Mirror-aculous Art Activities Kit for my 4 grandchildren who, at the ages of 5, 6 and 7 found it not only intriguing to color, but to figure out how to make the distortions! I found myself doing the same thing--taking a design and trying to reconfigure it so it would reflect on the mirror. It was not just a coloring activity. My grand children still go back to the kit and it has launched an exploration into optical illusion. In a world of gadgets that kids soon tire of, this is a standout way to engage the mind as well as eye-hand coordination. Date: 2007-04-17 Spectacular Fun! The Mirror-aculous Art Activities Kit that we own has brought hours of fun and giggles and fascination to everyone, young and old. It's also just a great conversation piece! The coloring is challenging and the mazes tricky but not impossible. I personally love trying to guess what something will turn out to be before looking in the mirror. My dad was particularly fascinated with how the whole process of animorphosis worked, and he had fun trying to draw straight lines while looking in the mirror. Definitely a toy for all ages!
