Product Description
Create your own amazing effects with specially designed Crayola dual-ended 3D chalk. Contrasting colors are paired up making it easy to create popping art and scenes. No matter what your skill level is, Crayola makes it simple to get amazing results! This package contains five dual-color chalks (ten colors), 3D glasses and an instruction booklet. Easy water clean-up. Conforms to ASTM D4236. Recommended for children ages 4 and up. WARNING: Choking Hazard-small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
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.

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!

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".
