Easy but time consuming
Wixel pixel art is easy enough for my daughter who is just under the recommended 6+ age. She was able to follow the pattern and was amazed at the "magic" of the ink transferring from the marker to the wixel. However the time involved was a bit too much for her. She got bored before finishing the whole picture and had to put it up for a second session. It was a bit messy with ink on her hands and the table. We tried washing the ink out of one of the boards and it came clean easily with fresh ink at least. I think my daughter will enjoy making her own patterns after she finishes the dog and monkey included in this set.

Wixels animal activity kit
The concept seemed really fun and my 6 year old was excited to try it. It took longer than expected for each square to wick the ink from the marker and my 6 year old quickly got bored. He always wants to do everything by himself and he gave me his 1/4 completed pattern and asked me to "help" him. He didn't need help-he just wanted me to finish it! I didn't like how the process also warped the marker tip since you had to press down for the ink to transfer. We eventually used the side of the marker to preserve the point but wish we had figured it out before a couple of marker points got flattened.

Create Your Own Pixel Art
My 9 year old son was excited to complete this activity. He decided on creating the dog picture. The stencils lined up great with the larger squares in the corners to hold the template. He did not follow the directions but I still feel that his art work turned out well with some minor flaws. The first thing he did was to hold the marker longer than the 1 second to "soak" the pixel block while the template was on the board. The back the board now has extra dye. When we did then follow the directions we had a little black blend in with the sandy tan color of the dog. However, it is a really neat concept. I like that it is washable and then he can either try it again or maybe try his own design.

Perfect to use again and again.
My kids loved creating these. The best part is they can be used again and again. (All markers came off with rinse like stated it would.) Product states for 6 and up but my 3 year old just enjoyed coloring on dots even though she couldn't follow pattern as well. My 5 year old was able to follow patterns with no problem. My 8 year old was engaged. It was really refreshing to try a product that was unlike anything else we have at home. Would be great for car rides/trips if want to not have to carry many items. I look forward to purchasing more patterns in future.

Too pixelated
This seemed like a really cool concept. When we went to set up the wixel the template would not stay attached to the base. We ended up having to tape it down on the back. My 4 year old daughter and i used the markers and colored in the spaces. She was able to follow the colors on the template. The markers didn't seem to go through enough and were very light once the template was taken off. The picture at first looked like nothing, then from an angle, you could see the dog that we were trying to create.
On the other hand, my 7 year old used the blank wixel board to make his own art that turned out pretty cool.
Overall the concept seems really cool if they could fix the attachment part and putting thinner markers with the kits.

A Fun Different Marker Activity
My 7 year old really enjoyed the wixels. He was a little hesitant at first but once we went through the instructions he had no issues. He didn't need any assistance and it took him a little over an hour to complete his picture. The wixels worked exactly as they were supposed to. It is a fun different way to use markers and be creative. My 7 yr old said it took longer than he would like but as a parent I thought the time commitment was excellent. My 7 year old did say he wished there were more than just 2 templates but I could easily see additional templates being sold as additional packs. I would definitely recommend this product especially since you can clean the wixel boards and continue to use them. Absolutely loved this product and my kid enjoyed it as well.

Hours of fun
My 7 year old daughter received this Wixels Animals Acitivty kit in exchange for an honest review. She was able to use it unassisted and was proud of her finished outcomes. It came with convenient color guides of a dog and monkey so you knew where to put certain colors. She wished it came with more guides of different animals. She also drew a custom animal of her own. If you make a mistake you can easily fix it with a q-tip. This kit would make a nice birthday present for kids ages 6 to 9.

Great for more focused artists!
My son, age 6, was disappointed with Wixels. He said it took too long, and when he tried to make his own picture, it was too abstract of a concept to make a picture with small squares. However, this is a really cool concept, and would be great for really artistic kids who are maybe older and more focused. The boards easily cleaned off. I would recommend taping them to the guide if you’re using one. Wish it came with a frame/holder to display your own design once you’re done!
