Alex Toys Magic Tracer Coloring Activity Kit

This wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. It's tricky to get everything lined up correctly. I was hoping to use this to get my 5-year-old more motivated to draw and trace, but he isn't willing to take the time to get it to work. It's harder than using tracing paper on a light box.

This might be great fun for a child who already likes to draw and trace and who has the patience to adjust the panels to the correct angles and keep them there. That just doesn't describe my son.

Although I'm not a kid (in fact I'm a grown woman), this was given to me as a gift to help out with my (very small) art skills. I agree with the previous review. This DOES take patience (and some practice) to master, but it isn't impossible. Also, it's WAY WAY better than Digi-draw, for the Magic Tracer is simple to put together, the trace mirror/reflector stays in place, and you can easily adjust it to help you out even more. The ONLY bad thing about the Magic Tracer is that it come with JUST ONE trace mirror/reflector, meaning if you break it...you're screwed! So be sure to take good care of it. ^_^

I bought this for my daughter, who was very excited, but couldn't get the hang of the reflector. In fact, you have to look through the reflector and trace without looking directly at your hands....so 5 years might be a little young for this. She ended up just coloring the pictures that came with it. I think we'll put it up until she's older.

I needed this for a project for school since I have no artistic ability at all. Definitely a life saver when it comes to drawing, especially if you can't free hand.It was easy to use and worked perfectly. I'd recommend this for people of all ages. Much cheaper than alot of more sophisticated tools and worked just as well.

I wanted to try drawing by reflected images, like artists have done for centuries, but the serious products were expensive, and I didn't feel like trying to make my own.This little kit works perfectly, and I might try to incorporate the smoked plastic page into a larger stand.Glad I tried it.
