Spin Master PixOs Super Studio

My granddaughters love this toy. One is 9 and the other 4. It is easy to use, not messy. Replacement PixO's are not expensive. You can use their premade designs or your own. The 4 year old needs a little help with the pen, but she still can do most on her own.

I would not recommend this to 4 yr old parents. THe pixo beads are much smaller than they appear on TV .Also you need a lot of beads to make several designs, we are already running out, since Xmas, having made 6 or 8 designs. The 'studio' basically is a housing for a plastic tube that drops beads out one at at time, the only battery operated part is the fan that dries your creation. Definitely buy this only after you have seen it in person. I feel it was a ripoff.

I actually purchased two of these; one as a Santa gift and one for my granddaugther. My 4 year old granddaughter enjoys creating designs with it. This toy improves a child's hand/eye coordination and prompts their imagination. I am very pleased with PixOx Super Studio. And I was grateful I ordered a refill as there were not enough PixOs with the Super Studio.

I really didn't plan to purchase this for our boys, however, they managed to talk grandma into it... knowing this, I went ahead and bought a couple extra add-on packs (each contained an extra 750). I figured the kids would go through the little amount of pixos included with the original package (something around 550).

I wish I'd waited, as we haven't even opened the extra packs (need to dig through purse for receipt)... the original pixos toy ended up being no fun at all.

It comes with two dotted trays, one with inline holes and the other with diagonal holes, used to place your pixos or dots to create your design.

Unfortunately, most of the pixos don't touch, so regardless of how much water you spray (which, btw, you are warned not to spray TOO much) the pixos just won't touch, thus not sticking. The few that do actually stick to each other come apart so easily getting it out of the tray is impossible.

Too much water and the little fan in back won't dry the pixos.

What a waste of money. The kids were disappointed (not to mention frustrated), but I used this as another means to explain how things don't always look as fun as they seem to make them on TV.

(Now, if I could just talk my littest boy(4) into trusting me that he does not need the eyelash twirler he sees on tv, things would be better, ha!)

The Pixos Super Studio is very cheaply made. The pixos constantly jam the pen, and there is no way to unjam the pen. The pen can not be removed from the hose, and the hose can not be removed from the studio. The hose is very fragile. It kinks and streches out of shape very easily, and is now unusable. My daughter received the Super Studio for Christmas and has used it only a handful of times. The Pixos Super Studio is a complete waste of money.
