Crayola Cling Creator is a remarkably enjoyable product, so well-designed and executed that kids find themselves deeply immersed in fun mere minutes after it's out of the box. It's a compact, highly organized, cool-looking creative laboratory for making flexible colorful shapes that will stick to, and peel easily from, just about any smooth surface. What those shapes and colors will be is up to the child. It's a simple matter mixing a couple of liquid (nontoxic) solutions and pouring them into a mold of your choosing. The speed with which it firms and is ready to peel and stick is stunning. There are 10 pre-designed molds, nifty-looking versions of a lightning bolt, peace sign, spider, and others, as well as reusable modeling clay and a hand tool that lets kids easily sculpt and create their own molds. Each of the Cling Creators' components has a standout quality to it, a charming originality and cleverness that makes one wish heartily for more children's products like this.
