Cordless Weed Whacker - trimmer, hedge trimmer


I was previously using all gas powered yard tools, blower, hedge trimmer, string trimmer, great products but loud, smelly and sometimes difficult to start. I had been looking at electric powered products to get rid of those trips to the gas station, however, pulling an electrical cord around my yard did not appeal to me at all. Then i came across this kit on amazon. The Black & Decker is a good one IMO so i took a chance and ordered from amazon.



I have been highly satisfied the battery power last well enough on my 12,000 square foot lot. The tool are nice and quiet and i can do my yard work early in the morning without disturbing the neighbors. I must say all 3 products work great for their intended purpose. The bonus IMO is the batter charger mount that can charge all three included batteries at the same time. Also, the mountable storage station is great and makes storing the equipment easy. My father came over and was hooked on these and placed an order the next day, great products at a great price from amazon what could be better, lol.......



**UPDATE**04/17/2010



Im still using this same equipment right at 5 YEARS! later and they work great. Im still using 2 of the 3 B&D batteries that I purchased for the set. I was just searching for new batteries and could not believe its been 5 years that this equipment and batteries have lasted, well worth the money for the quality and ease of use. Black & Decker CCC3000 18-Volt Cordless Electric Lawncare Center

UPDATE: I've owned this set for over 2 1/2 years now, and I only like it more. I've seen no drop off in battery power, and I find more uses for the blower than I would have thought. It's great for blowing sawdust out of my garage and I even use it to help dry my car after I wash it. The weed wacker continues to function like a champ, and the pruner, though rarely used, works great. There's nothing like cordless electric for convenience!



More than a few reviewers have complained about short run times with these tools. I have no such complaints. In fact, I find that one charge on one battery is enough to edge and weed-whack my front and back yards and trim my hedges.



A lot of people don't seem to understand that in places where people want to live yards are getting smaller and smaller. In San Diego, in a subdivision built 25 years ago, my front and back yards combined are about 1500 square feet. My friend just bought a new luxury home in San Diego that has a "postage stamp" front yard. There isn't even enough room to park a Camry on his grass.



Another friend in Tennessee recently purchased a multi-thousand dollar commercial lawn mower with a 52" cutting path to mow the grass on his property. This set is perfect for most San Diego lawns (and even those that are a fair bit larger), but it's not going to be nearly as suitable to a backwoods Tennessee lot.



Before you buy these, think. The larger your yard, the less suitable you'll find these. So if your property is much larger than the average subdivision lot, these probably aren't for you. And it's just common sense that the larger your lot is, the more batteries you'll need. If you have a larger yard, don't buy the set and then whine about having to switch out batteries. These aren't made for your two acre property in the sticks!



As you would expect, the blower does not rival the performance of a corded model. But it blows hard enough for most lawn care needs (it will move grass clippings and loose dirt). The weed whacker (string trimmer) is great. The head pivots for edging and the automatic line feed system works great.



The hedge trimmer is even better. I have a much smaller rechargeable Black and Decker hedge trimmer with an internal battery pack. I use it for most of my shrubs because it is lighter and more maneuverable. I only use the one included with this kit on a few larger hedges, and it performs well.



I had been using corded electric tools, but the cords were always such a hassle that I found myself putting off yard work. Gas tools would be overkill. They require too much maintenance and I don't want to store gasoline. These cordless tools are the perfect compromise. I'm just sorry that I didn't buy them sooner.



There is a noticeable difference in the power between my corded and cordless tools. While operating, the corded tools seem to operate at a higer speed and with more torque.



The most noticeable difference between the corded and cordless tools is the much reduced airflow speed with the cordless blower. As to the other tools, I suspect that if I went to clear some particularly thick weeds the cordless string trimmer might bog down. I similarly suspect that the hedge trimmer might bog down if I was trimming thick branches with it. So I'm keeping my corded tools for those rare occasions that I might need them.

I have an acre of lawn, and was tired of starting my gas trimmer. I could not use a corded trimmer because I would spend most of my time moving the cord around.



I then stumbled onto this product. I read the reviews and the one I found most useful stated that they bought the trimmer and the blower, and that they use both batteries to trim their lawn.



Well, I found that this combo pack was a good deal, since you basically get a tool and battery for free!



I really like the triple charger! One plug has three charging stations.



It takes almost two entire batteries for me to trim my yard. I have about 400 feet of edging and 18 trees. If I edge my sidewalk (250 feet) I use about a quarter of the third battery.



The AFS string system works well, maybe a little too well. I find that I get about 1.5 trimming session before I need to replace the spool. I bought the 300 foot spool instead of the individual ones.



Please keep in mind, I trim mostly grass. If I trimmed weeds, which are thicker then grass, I do not think that this trimmer would work well. - Trimmer - Black And Decker - Cordless Weed Whacker - Hedge Trimmer'

Art Products - art supplies, awesome


Soft and creamy, rich palette of deep colors - description for what I think are truly the best coloring pencils I've ever used. And, as an architect, I've looked for and tried many different brands, and none have matched the quality of the Berol Prismacolor pencils. Living in Portugal, where I can't get them, I was very happy to be able to order them through Amazon.com Prismacolor Scholar Colored Pencils, 24 Pre-Sharpened Colored Pencils

These pencils (especially at the $13 they cost me) are hands down the best art purchase I have made in the last year, maybe ever. The first full composition i did came out very bold and rich, with amazingly vibrant colors. The sense of depth and smooth blending you get from these rivals many more expensive pencils. I did a side by side comparison with standard prismacolors, as well as prismacolor premiers, and the difference is almost unnoticable. If you are having trouble deciding on pencils, and don't want to empty your bank account; don't hesitate, you will not be disappointed with this set of pencils.

I noticed so many people complaining about the packaging, and I felt the need to write this review. I have been using Prismacolor pencils for more than 20 years, and the quality of these colored pencils cannot be beat, in my opinion. I have used expensive Derwent, Faber Castle, and many others. They are not as good, and I always end up reaching for my Prismacolors.



Most important note: The company packages the "scholar" line of pencils cheaply so that they can offer them at a lower price to art students who typically cannot afford high quality art supplies.The scholar pencils are just as nice as the professional "artist" line, which comes in metal tins or wooden boxes.



Another note: "wood casing" in the description refers to the pencil itself. The pigment lead is "encased" in a wooden barrel. As you see by the picture, these are in a clear plastic case.





A set of 24 Prismas will usually cost at least $24-25 in the cardboard or tin cases. Larger sets in those fancy wooden boxes can cost hundreds. Here you have a set of 24 in a plastic envelope thing, and this has caused people to give poor reviews and return the items. You bought some of the best pencils around for half price, people- the packaging is irrelevant! I noticed that these reviewers mentioned nothing about the pencils themselves. Are you kidding?



I am an artist by profession, so I have plastic containers and drawers for all of my supplies. When I buy pencils they are going to go in the appropriate bin, so the packaging is not an issue- I prefer to pay for the contents. Other artists I know also store pencils in their own bins and boxes.



I have to replace my colored pencils fairly often since I use them to the nub, and buying 24 for $12-13 is certainly a great thing. If you have to replace a single pencil you will pay at least a dollar per pencil at most craft stores, so no doubt this is an economical alternative. Most likely, You will use up these standard colors first.



BTW- I see a picture of pencils in the plastic case up there for this item, so I don't know which product these other people are even looking at. Regardless, this set of 24 Prismacolor pencils is a steal. They are described as "student" quality, but do not let that fool you. These are not Crayolas by a long shot. I use them along with Prismacolor Artist pencils (the professional ones) and I really can't tell one from the other.



I just wanted to stick up for these amazing pencils since people have made the rating low for stupid reasons. Review the actual product- it is not helpful to others to complain about the case when most artists keep their supplies in other containers anyway.

I Love these pencils, always have. They are wonderful for anyone who loves to draw, from aged four to ninety-four. I've always believed that every child deserves good school supplies and these are good enough for anyone. Crayola has wonderful crayons, but their colored pencils aren't even close to the best. They are great for even preschool children, because the leads write smoothly and don't crumble.



The price her on Amazon is terrific, and a package of these pencils and a really nice sketch pad makes a perfect gift for almost any child for almost any occasion. These pencils were part of my "special travel bag" which I had for long car rides or any plane ride. Now that my baby is no longer a little baby, she has the full set of 132 colored pencils in a lovely tin.



If you absolutely unable to live without erasing your mistakes, Prismacolor offers Prismacolor Col-Erase Erasable Colored Pencils, 24-Color Pencil Set, which are not quite as cool as the regular colored pencils, but have the advantage of being erasable. An absolutely critical addition to these pencils are the Prismacolor Pencil 1077 Blender, which blends the colors effortlessly, and makes your colored pencil creations much nicer.



Oh, and the lousy packaging? I strongly prefer the tins or wooden cases to the cardboard packaging. I know that most colored pencils come in a cardboard box, but the tin or wooden boxes are so preferable to this one.



These pencils are just the best, and I'm sure you won't be sorry if you give them a try. Just grab a container to hold them.

My kids notebook, journal, and color pictures every day for school in history and science (we homeschool). We are over half way through the school year and these pencils have stood up to my 6 and 8yo no problem, have given great color, no broken tips, sharpen great (electric sharpener if it matters). We have tried 2 other popular brands available in "box stores" and the tips always broke, didn't sharpen well, didn't color well, didn't flow smoothly, they were horrible - and we tried several different boxes over the years of both. We have had such great success with Prismacolor Scholars I will never go back and spend the extra money every year. I may splurge and get the bigger set for my oldest next year because she loves the extra color choices but the 24 count has been SUPER for both kids. - Colored Pencils - Awesome - Art Products - Art Supplies'

Bender Ball - mini ball, mini


This ball is not made of thick rubber like you're used to with the large swedish balls at the gym. It popped on me after about 4 months (I am 6ft 170lbs) while I was using it for sit ups.



If you decide to buy it, don't let them sucker you into buying a pump for it. You can blow the ball up like a balloon and don't need the pump. FitBall Mini Exercise Ball FBMINI 9" Dark Blue

My personal trainer recommended using this smaller ball as support when doing sit-ups as it really works the core. Crunches and regular sit-ups tend not to work all the stomach muscles or is [....] the back. However, when used at base of your back, this ball really helps focus on the core muscles. I highly recommend this product.

I use this ball to do crunches. It works the muscles of the back in addition to the abs, and gives you amazing overall abdominal strength. It's the same product as the green Bender Ball that's advertised on TV (I bought one of those too, not as high quality). Only thing is it doesn't come with an excercise DVD, but you can buy one seperately (I just bought the "Pilates Mini-Ball Advanced Workout" coincidentally by Leslee Bender of the Bender Ball). There are many other things to do with this little guy besides abs. Very good quality and you really don't need a pump to inflate it! So cheap too!

I ordered this mini exercise ball for use in my daily stretching. I use it every day for situps (pressed between my knees) and bicycles. I also use it to stretch backwards by arching my back over it from a sitting position. It provides good support. It is easy to keep in the living room, out of the way since it is small. Unfortunately my kids love it for a soccer ball. It did ship fast as promised. I'd recommend it.

One of my friends bought the Bender Ball DVD's. I bought this ball to work out with her. It's perfect, just like the ball she uses. It's easy to inflate and deflate. I keep in my gym bag and it doesn't take up much space at all. I have recommended it to other friends who also bought it and think it's great.

If you are in physical therapy like I am for a back problem, this is a perfect aid to get those muscles in your thighs stretched out. It comes with everything you need to inflate it as much or as little as you need. highly recommended.

ball is easy to blow up by mouth and piece, don't bother buying the pump it's a waste of money. Thin soft rubber ball made to use with lower back for a more intense sit up, behind the head for support or under the rear and small back for balance exercises. it is meant to be aquishy unlike the sweedish/medicine balls. Would definately recommend we use these in gym class all the time so I bought one for home.

DO NOT BUY THE PUMP it is a waste of money. - Mini Ball - Core - Exercise - Mini'

Flags


I was looking forward to putting this up in honor of the great work of our Navy Seals this week as well as for Memorial Day which is coming up soon! It is the standard size for garden flags,but it is really poor quality (feels more like plastic than fabric)1 Also the way it was packed caused it to get ripped as I was opening the package! My money is going down the drain with the gas prices, so I guess here's more money "out the window." Also I don't know if I'm allowed to dispose of it in the garbage since it is an American flag (I'm hoping there are exceptions when it comes to garden flags)! American Flag Garden Flag'

Satin Nickel Doorhandles - satin nickel doorhandles


In one word....."Yes."



I lived for decades in a home with door handles and then purchased a home with doorknobs. I found doorknobs to be very utilitarian and not much more. On the other hand, by comparison, I consider doorhandles to be functional luxury. All the doorknobs in our home have been upgraded with Kwikset doorhandles. If you've never lived with doorhandles, after being installed, you'll find doorhandles quickly become a functional necessity as opposed to being considered an upgraded luxury. Why? Because of the ease in opening a door when in possession of a full armload of goodies. This, of course, is in comparison to the difficulty of trying to operate a doorknob while in possession of the same aforementioned armload of goodies. :)



Important note: there are three grades of door hardware of this kind; ANSI Grade 3, ANSI Grade 2 and ANSI Grade 1.



The benefit of upgrading from Grade 3 to Grade 2 is a "very" noticeable difference in both look/feel and build quality. To me, there's no point in going to a Grade 1 unless working in a hospital where orderlies are going be running into the doorhandles with a food cart on a regular basis. The difference in look/feel between a Grade 3 and a Grade 2 is night-n-day in that the Grade 2 product has a totally solid, well made, happy feel vs the light fluffy look/feel of the Grade 3 product. So in your search for a replacement or upgrade, if you can, what ever your choice of product might be, I highly recommend spending the extra few dollars for Grade 2 products. Doing so, you'll be rewarded with the daily personal pleasure and satisfaction (pride), having and using a Grade 2 door handle brings to the table. FWIW, if swapping Kwikset for Kwikset, swapping out old hardware and installing replacement doorhandles in existing cutouts is a breeze. All you need is a medium size Phillips Head screwdriver and ten minutes of your time. Once installed, you'll find these doorhandles have a very solid presence coupled with a satin-ee smooth feel; very nice.



A word to the wise, this is a satin nickel product and your "out-of-sight/out-of-mind" door hinges might be made of brass.



Maybe I don't get out often enough but if you missed it, I love these doorhandles. I'm sure there are many other manufacture makes and models of equal or better quality out there; read that to mean more expensive. But if you're curious regarding this particular make and model of doorhandles, you won't be disappointed if you choose to buy them.



Hope the above is found helpful.



:) Kwikset 730TNL 15 CP Tustin Bed/Bath Lever, Satin Nickel

Very comfortable, practical & with lovely finish. I installed them myself on doors opening both directions, & had no problems. The handles are so easy to use, tho you can catch a belt loop if you like to close the door with your backside...

Love the look, quality, and feel of the Kwikset Tustin lever locks. Simple to install with the left or right interchange of the handles. No need to know if the door is left or right, simply install and switch the handles in about 30 seconds if you need to reverse them. Nice product. Highly recommended.

I purchased this item to replace previously installed Kwikset locks. The locks were originally installed by the builder over 20 years ago. The new locks fit perfectly into the holes and mortises of the old locks. The installation was fast and easy and gave the house a more contemporary look. I would highly reccommend them for anyone especially if you are replacing older kwikset locks.

This Bed/Bath lever is good for bed/ bathrooms. It uses a universal key ( looks like sardine can opener key). The main issue I have with this product is I ordered 4 pieces (satin nickel) and they have various finishing colours. One is satin nickel (dull finish), one is satin nickel (bright finish). The remaining 2 are uniform.



Also 2 of them seemed to be stocks because there is a bit of corrosion in the mechanism. A spray of WD40 did the magic. Nonetheless, good buy.

I bought two of these; one for my bedroom and one for the bathroom. I have never installed doorknobs or levers before and the instructions were not very helpful; however, the Kwikset website has many installation videos and one showed how to install these exact levers. After watching the video, installation was quick and easy. I had to switch both levers for left hand doors and that was easy, too. Now they are both installed and they are beautiful and solid. I'm very happy with them. Highly recommended!

The picture doesn't show how pretty these REALLY are. Heavy construction and look SOOOOOO nice on our 6 panel oak and pine doors!! I've seen the exact same ones advertised for $50.00 ON SALE so these are a fantastic buy. Easy to install. I've had MANY compliments and they work great for kids - no knob to try to grasp hold of. Would buy this brand and style again if I ever ended up moving. - Satin Nickel Doorhandles'

Kindle Accessory - kindle accessory, kindle


The only thing I love more than my Kindle itself is this wonderful cover! I've only had it a few weeks and I've already gotten tons of compliments on it. But it's not just cute, it is incredibly practical too. First, the outside is made of a plastic-coated canvas-like fabric, which is MUCH more flexible than the expensive leather found on most other covers - this makes it very easy to open, and it will sit flat on a desk (as opposed to the leather covers, which you really need to work in before they will stay open). Second, the magnetic flap easily catches the front cover in the back, holding it open to read - a great improvement over the other popular m-edge cover that has the tab front (that you need to jam back into the tab slot to close or hold open). Third, the inside is made of very soft microfiber - wonderful on the hands as you read. Fourth, there is enough space on the inside spine to tuck the m-edge e-luminator reading light and keep it there permanently, so you always have a light with you. The light itself is great too (sold separately, does not come with the cover) - easily adjustable to reach the whole screen, takes standard AAA batteries (instead of the disc-like watch batteries other lights take), and is much brighter than I expected (a big improvement over the Kandle, which is the light I used previously). My only complaint is that this magnetic-flap-style cover doesn't come in manlier colors, as I would love to get one for my fiance. A+++! Halsea for M-Edge Kindle Jacket (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle), Boat Canyon--Bonfire Brown

I bought this cover because it is very cute and description says it fits 2nd generaion Kindle. It absolutely DOES NOT! The Kindle 2 is too small for it's corners to fit in the 4 corner holders. It is like putting a small picture in a large picture frame--it isn't secure and will slide around. I plan to return it and buy one I can physically try before purchasing. I'm just upset I will lose $10 in shipping (to me & return). M-Edge should NOT advertise that it fits Kindle 2. The reviewers didn't mention which Kindle they owned when they said they loved it. Very misleading...

This is a beautiful cover! My kindle fits perfectly in the 4 point mounting system...it's very secure. The cover is laminated for each easy-up. The colors are very vibrant. It's makes my kindle look very professional. Great product as an excellent price.

This is a great cover for my 2nd generation Kindle. It has a magnet that keeps is closed, yet is easy to open, a soft lining for protection, a pocket for keeping notes, and a pen holder. The Kindle slips easily from the elastic four cornered holders, but I find I prefer to read with the Kindle ensconced comfortably in the cover. The crab decoration on the cover adds a whimsical touch and makes it easily recognizable, should it get lost in a crowd! - Kindle - Kindle Accessory'

Make-up Remover - make-up remover


I'm new to using Ponds Cold Cream. I experimented a little with the original Cold Cream, however, it's a bit too oily for me to use every night. I still use the original on my decolette, neck, feet, etc. I tried the Ponds Deep Cleansing Cream, and it's worlds better for my skin type. I like to use it at night. Usually I will leave it on for a minute, then rinse it off with warm water, and then use just a smidget more as a moisturizer. Sometimes I'll just rub it on my face and tissue it off if I'm feeling lazy, but I don't like the way it feels on my face after that. My only complaint is that it's not as good at removing eye makeup as the original Ponds Cold Cream, and it can irritate my eyes sometimes which the original Cold Cream did not. Overall, it's a good product. Pond's Deep Cleanser & Make-Up Remover with Cucumber Extract, 10.1-Ounce Jars (Pack of 3)

This facial cleanser comes from the same company that brings you a cold cream that is a standard for removing makeup PONDS COLD CREAM.

I think it can compare to any of the high priced products you may find at the department stores. The cost is minimal.

It is hard to find in stores but easy to order from Amazon.

It is light and non-drying. Use either with water or without. It lasts forever.

I've used this product for years.



I may have normal to oily skin, but find that soap or body wash products leave my skin feeling dry. It's thinner and less greasy feeling than regular cold cream and cleans even my oily nose area well.



On top of the fact tht it works well, its inexpensive. Known for using gobs more of this type of thing than I need to use, a jar lasts about 5 to 6 weeks. With automatic delivery, it lands on my doorstep with no effort on my part! - Make-up Remover'

Toddler Activities - toddler activities, nintendo ds games


This is a DS game that you can let your younger kids play without worrying about violence or inappropriate content. Although kids from eight and up may get bored very quickly, it can be played by kids as young as three, with some guidance.



There are two phases to the game, which has a little back-story about three stolen color crystals and colors disappearing all over the world. There's the Adventure mode, where you complete jigsaw puzzles, join-the-dots and speed coloring; and there's the coloring book.



Adventure Mode: Fairly easy puzzles that can be completed by most four year olds without help.

1. The Jigsaw puzzles have all the pieces the right way up, so all you need to do is find where they go and slide them in place. This is a novel way of introducing puzzle solving.

2. The Join-the-dots puzzles require only basic counting knowledge. Just touch a swirling rainbow and the puzzle appears.

3. The speed coloring game requires that you color flashing objects quickly, before a character fades away.

4. The Boss Challenge is the part where you catch a robber and color him in order to get back the missing color crystals.

5. To complete the Adventure Mode, you have to track down three robbers in different locations, unlocking crayons and coloring pages after completing each game.



This leads us to the Coloring Book, where the fun really begins.

1. By completing the Adventure Mode, you will now have 120 crayons to play with and 110 different pictures in six categories, namely dinosaurs, vehicles, farm, ocean, zoo and adventure.

2. Simple button options allow you to choose colors, erase mistakes, use a narrow or wide tipped coloring tool, and even choose between crayon and marker.

3. After coloring the object on the screen, you can also add grass, trees, sky or whatever your imagination requires.



The game saves itself as you go along, but in case you want to start all over again, there's a reset option. During play, a character named Tip provides helpful hints, but as there's no audio for this feature, basic reading skills may be required.



The only two negative aspects are that the three adventures all play the same types of games, which get boring after a while, and that the game is overpriced, all things considered.



Once the adventure is over, ask your kids to let you have a turn coloring - you'll find that it's great fun, but please remember that you have to give it back.







Amanda Richards, January 13, 2008 Crayola Treasure Adventures

I actually got this game for myself because I loved coloring when I was young & figured it would be neat on the DS. The side adventures are for very young audiences, which was completely expected. I am aware that 28 year olds are not the target market.



The coloring aspect of this game was exactly what I was hoping for. The colors are bright, there are lots of pictures, and it makes good use of the touch screen. For these aspects, I would give this game five stars.



However, this game only gets a three from me because there is no save option. When you color a picture, it's erased when you turn the DS off. That's pretty much a deal breaker for me, so I gave mine away.

This is another great game that all of my girls enjoy (ages 9 with special needs, 7 and 3). The game is a little complicated for my three year old (just turned three) to do the puzzles without help, but she loves coloring and all of my girls ask constantly to play the game. I would recommend this game! We buy all of our games for ds based on ratings from ign.com and this game rated very well on there. Also, amazon was great and shipping was fast- this game is actually very hard to find, as none of the stores around us carried it and only a few online stores. Amazon was the cheapest due to the free shipping..ebay didn't even have it!

We got this for our 6 year old to play on his DS Light. He likes it, but the arrows on the screen, coupled with the many sentences on the top screen take a long time to just get to the actual playing. He's just beginning to read, but he's not really interested in what they have to say, he wants to get to the adventure part. It is fun. Our 2 1/2 year old loves the connect the dots part and clicking on the shimmering objects. It's an okay game. They like to color too, once again, there are too many choices of things to click to complete the actual picture.

I got this so my 3 year old boy would have a ds game to play that he could play with very little assistance. There are a few things he had to figure out through practice...but almost everything he can do himself. He not only loves to color, but he likes to do the puzzles and other activities. The activities seem kind of repetitive, but you know children, they don't mind! (kind of like they are about hearing their favorite story over and over again.)



DOESN'T SAVE...but the children don't seem to mind. I kind of do, but they don't...well at least when I explain they can't save their coloring, but they do get to color it again and again and again. Sometimes I take a picture of them if they particularly like their work (on my good digital camera, or on my cell phone).



I was upset that it didn't have any free drawing...until one day I saw that there is one that is a picture frame, and on the inside of the frame you can draw whatever you want.



Also, you can only draw in marker or crayon. And it does NOT let you color out of the lines.



Sadly, he lost this game the other day, because he was carrying it around and being kind of a "naughty 3 year old." I don't want to replace it because, I am waiting to buy it used...unless I find the one he's lost. Really, you can't go wrong with this game...unless your little ones are playing more advanced FAST PACED GAMES, and have Lost the youthful enjoyment of slower paced games.



P.S. My 3 year old has high functioning autism....doesn't sit still too long, but he actually does sit longer while doing this game.



Not only do my 3 older children enjoy coloring on this, but I (39 years) even enjoy coloring on this game...not as much as "Imagine Artist" which has painting and color pencils, but it still allows for a lot of colorful fun. - Coloring - Kids Games - Nintendo Ds Games - Toddler Activities'
