Crayola 3-D Chalk Reviews

• Not a cheap gimmick

  
  By A1ABETM4C2FFD7 on 2008-05-05
  Unlike so many other 3D toys and products which just frustrate and disappoint - this toy works as advertised! The provided glasses make any bright colors appear to float or plunge back into surfaces. Each color in the rainbow appears at a different depth, so almost anything your child draws will have an interesting 3D result.
  
  The great thing about this is that the glasses also work with drawings made with markers, pen, crayon, and even computer and video images. Anything with bright colors will pop to life.
  
  Looking up 'chromadepth' on the internet yielded many other images which appear in glorious 3D when wearing the provided glasses.
  
  

• Eye-Popping

  We got this product today when we saw it in the store. I was afraid it would be a disappointment and just cause frustration. But once we started using it we realized what a GREAT product it was! The colors really do jump out at you and make you want to touch them and put your hands through them. We used this with a 5 year old boy and a 3 year old girl. It was perfect for sharing because there was plenty of chalk to go around and they would only use the glasses to see their artwork. After a while the 3 year old really got into it and just kept staring at her work with the glasses on saying "Wow" over and over! Here is a hint for when you first start using it, try to make thick lines or circles colored in with a different color outline. If you just have lines it will look good, but not great. When you have thicker lines or shapes with different colors is when it really POPS!
  
  

• The Hype is REAL!

  
  By A3DQWEJYUPC18Y on 2008-06-03
  Wow..I was amazed at this product. I've seen many commercials on TV and thought this would be a gimmick...and that the 3D effects would be uneffective.
  
  However, boy was I surprised! It works like it says it does...and my kids LOVED it. When you wear the INCLUDED 3D glasses...everything really works as described. I love it! The kids love it!
  
  This is probably the coolest toy all year so far...I'm picking up a few more packs on Amazon as I right this review.
  
  
  Overall this product is just what everyone says it is...AWESOME. Your kid will love it.

• IS IT ALL IT'S "CHALKED" UP TO BE!?

  
  By A1FV9GMZPT4TQF on 2008-06-28
  I wouldn't pay as much as I did the second time around. Chalk broke very, very easy and seemed to go fast for as thick as you have to draw the lines to get the 3D to work good. For a one time play time it was fun...
  
  

• 3D does work, sort of

  
  By A30X750M8V1XXW on 2008-07-12
  The 3D effect really does work, well sort of. It works best with the red/pink colored chalk, I guess that's why there are 3 of that color in the pack. The glasses have a special lens that picks up reds and pink colors making them look 3D. You can see a similar effect on almost anything of that color other than the chalks.
  
  I tried every color of the chalks and again only the pink/red had the 3D effect. The kids and I had fun with the kit but 15+ dollars is a bit much for chalk.
  
  
• I liked it, but not sure of the hype...
  By A3QX09Q8LGG7L on 2008-06-21
  I liked the 3D sidewalk chalk. My only "concern" was that the glasses give off the effect rather than the chalk being special. I don't work for Crayola but it seemed that the chalk was the regular stuff that they sell and the glasses in conjunction with drawing "properly" using thick lines and contrasting colors did the work.
  
  My daughter and I also got the same effect using the new Crayola Color Surge markers and paper (which are also worthy of buying) with the glasses which made me question whether the chalk was special.
  
  
  
  
• Disappointed. Not worth the price.
  By A3EM243NDJ4DF3 on 2008-07-18
  I read so many great reviews about the 3-D chalk and normally good reviews on Amazon means I'll be happy with the product. Not in this case.
  
  The images do appear to float (slightly) but you need to fill in the images completely and press really hard with the chalk. The chalk iteself breaks and falls apart much quicker than traditional chalk.
  
  The kids couldn't get their images to "float" because they weren't pressing hard enough. I spent a while recreating the images suggested in the directions. The kids were slightly impressed but after looking once or twice with the glasses, they went on to something else.
  
  The pack of chalk lasted one afternoon and provided very little "WOW" factor.
  
  At this price and with these reviews I was expecting so much more. I'd suggest you save your money. You're not missing out on anything "spectacular".
  
  
• Even better than I could have hoped for!
  By A12B04MCOZ66XH on 2008-06-21
  My 6 year old daughter saw the 3D chalk advertises on tv and begged me for it. I was definitely skeptical that it would work like they showed on tv-especially since it was always shown on very dark black pavement. I bought if for her though and OH-WOW was I surprised at how great this stuff works. The colors are bright and vibrant evenon our light grey pavement and with the glasses pops out with 3 Dimensional Excitement!! Best summer toy for the money-plan on buying a few more as gifts. Important though-set aside the glasses-w/o them its just chalk, so you want to keep them where you can find them :)
  
  
• Cool 3D effects!
  By A12JSZZF5BFKX2 on 2008-07-03
  Believe it or not, but this actually creates cool 3D effects. We had every kid on our block over along with their parents taking turns swapping off the 3D glasses to look at the drawings on our driveway.
  
  Be aware that each pack only comes with one pair of glasses, so if more than one child will be using the chalk, it wouldn't hurt to buy two packages for the extra pair of glasses.
  
  
• Exciting
  By AV0CKN54X60HT on 2008-07-07
  I found the Crayola 3 D Chalk thrilling.
  I bought one set for my 10 year old niece for her birthday, the last one available it seems in my town. It was amazing to see simple drawings POP. I had to
  buy another one for myself (On Line) at four times the original cost (including shipping cost).
  Please make more of this fabulous item available soon.
  
  
• Fun and Interesting, but
  By ALY4QONN9QRXJ on 2008-07-18
  Yes it works, but after buying it I decided to try it on regular cheap 50 cent chalk, and guess what it works. So in all actuality you are paying for 3d glasses, so if you hav a old pair laying around use them and a regular box of chalk and save yourself some money.
  
  
• Grandchildren LOVE it
  By A1QPMJ6FXUZ486 on 2008-07-26
  Our Grandchildren LOVE this - They're AMAZED when one color is higher than the other when you put the 3D glasses on...would recommend this for age 3 and up
  
  
• Crayola 3D Chalk and Glasses
  By A33F4HHJ3SFA3A on 2008-07-31
  These glasses are fun to use. They separate the color spectrum to actually make the colors appear to float or sink into a surface. I was a bit disappointed to find out the chalk was the regular Crayola sidewalk chalk used everyday. Essentially you are buying the 3D glasses. The good thing is that any chalk can be used after the chalk provided in the pack is used up, which goes pretty quickly. It can also be used with contrasting colored crayons or markers. Overall, it's a fun project and even young children can see the color separation and "floating" images. It's a good product, but they should just sell the glasses separately and indicate it can be used with regular sidewalk washable chalks.
  
  
• Not just for the little ones
  By A37S9NQPD9XG0P on 2008-08-01
  I bought 2 sets of the 3-D Sidewalk Chalk, one for each of my 6 & 7 yr. old granddaughters. They immediately fell in love with it and were happily creating their "art" when my 15 yr. old granddaughter and her friend happened on by. Needless to say, the little ones had to negotiate with their older sister to use their own chalk - It seems the older girls, loved this stuff as much as the younger children. I am very satisfied with this product.
