Fun activity for the kids
My kids (7 and 6) were really excited to try this out. They really got a kick out of watching the colors mix through the viewing window. They wanted to keep
making new mixed up colors. They made so many
that it was hard to use them all. I would almost recommend more of of the clear markers with caps so that you could store/save more of the tips you make. It is really cool and great for kids who love to use markers. You really have to know how to twist the marker as you use it so that you get a mix of the colors to show up. My kids struggled some with twisting as they drew so both colors appeared. It's a fun little item, but I felt like my kids enjoyed making them more than using them.

Fun to watch 2 colors show up in marker!
This product was very easy to use for an almost 5 year old girl. She was so excited to pick out the 2 color markers to put into the machine. I’m not sure how “useful” this is but the excitement of seeing the colors come into the new marker tip was fun for her. You do, however, need to use the marker on its side and then rotate if you really want to see each color. Writing with the tip straight down didn’t produce much for us. She began to get frustrated. You should pick two very different colors to make it the most fun! I don’t think that I would buy this as a gift for someone else.

A Unique Way to Learn Color Mixing
I thought this product was very easy to use in order to create two-color markers. It was easy enough for my 3- and 4-year-old boys to use, but they had a harder time figuring out how to use the different sides of the market tip to see the mixed colors. I like that the set includes a chart of all the mixed color combinations. I love the viewing window that allows you to watch as your marker colors are mixing! I do wish that it included more than two clear markers, but I was happy with the number of including white marker tips.

Works quick for some colorful fun
The blending of colors works quickly right before your eyes. The kids had fun switching out the markers and deciding their own colors. Since 100 tips come with the product no one had to limit themselves to just a few choices.
Artist tip: put the colored markers in first then the blank tip to get as even color blend as possible.

Creat fun color combination markers!
This was so much fun for my son who is 8 to keep creating different combinations of markers. He loves to create mazes and the two toned markers added a great effect to his creations. When we unboxed the product we found the base, markers, marker tips, directions, and color combination chart. We read on the directions that it required 3 AAA batteries which we installed even though it can be used without batteries. My 8 year old inserted the blank marker tip into the clear marker and then inserted at the top of the base. This turned on the light so you can watch the markers mix into the new one. He then picked two colors and inserted each onto the side. We watched them mix together and then he got to use them! The kit contains 100 marker tips so the possibilities are endless!

Fun with colors
The marker mixers seems to be an updated version of the older marker maker as my child pointed out. We did have fun making color combinations but you have to be careful not to leave the markers in too long otherwise the light colored markers end up with color from the other "donor" marker. Product does need 3 AAA batteries but even without the batteries yoy can still create combinations, it is just harder to observe. This could be a good gift for a kid who likes art and exploring different colors.

Cute.. But not enough..
This was a great concept, but it doesn’t come with enough markers to make, and there are no options for refills. So happy kid went south real quick.. :-(

Ingenious Idea!
My 7 year old son really enjoyed watching two marker colors merge into the one marker tip to create dual color marker. Amazingly, there are 100 tips for mixing the colors, so a lot of combinations may be made. Unfortunately, the tips do dry out a day or so later. Also, the pointed tip made it difficult for both colors to show up in my son's creations. A chiseled tip might solve this issue, which would make the Marker Mixer Art Kit even better.
