Pixos Starter Set

The Pixos Starter Set was so much fun. No ironing - yeah team! It arrived on time in secure packaging and was of good quality material. My grandaughters had more fun with this method and even argued over taking turns to use it

Great gift for kids!All my kids love this item!Ann Omosowofa

Ok

Santa gave this to my 4 year old daughter for Christmas. She was a little frustrated at first, but after I made one and showed her how to do it she loved it. she likes making her own designs better than the templates right now. the pen hasn't given us any trouble yet. the only thing i would recommend is to buy a refill kit. it does come with a nice amount of beads, but after 2 or 3 pictures you start to run out of colors. also, i really spray the beads to make them stick, after about 20 min. I check to see if i can remove them from the tray without breaking it. if i can, i put it on a piece of wax paper or plastic wrap and spay one side, after it dries turn it over and spay the other side. this helps to make it a little more durable for kids to play with.

Bueno

My 4 year old asked for these obsessively until I finally relented. They don't work! First I thought I didn't wet them enough, then I thought I over-wet them, then I tried in between. They just didn't stick together correctly, ever.They got thrown away almost immediately because they were useless and messy.

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter for Christmas. She was so excited to get it, and had been wanting this. I have to say that it's not easy to use. Constantly refilling the beads in the pen is a pain. The pen doesn't hold very many beads, so you need to refill it continuously. It seems more beads roll away on the floor than actually get used in the craft project. Once you finally get the beads on the tray (which there are 2 different types of trays depending on how you want the beads to 'pattern'. I didn't know this.), you have to spray the beads with water in the water spritzer provided. I guess the water is supposed to 'melt' the beads together, but half of the beads didn't stick together. We tried different water amounts on different craft attempts, but all we seems to end up with are tiny beads everywhere or a sticky mess. I wouldn't recommend this product. I wish I could get my money back.

My 5 year old has been asking for these since he saw them advertised on TV, so Santa brought these by on Christmas. It's a fun concept, but for an older child. Both my children (my other son is 6.5) needed a great deal of help. So much so, I was doing the activity not the kids. The dots are very hard to load into the "pen", and they don't place in the tray as easily as they make it look on TV. After just a couple of attempts at using the Pixos, the kids lost interest. I think an older child would be able to handle this craft much easier, and so I've tucked the remaining Pixos away for a later date. Maybe we'll give them another shot in a year or so.
