Early Learning Centre Twirl & Paint

**Introduction.** My childhood holidays were always spent at Mablethorpe and I have such happy memories from going there. One place I used to love visiting was the indoor fun fair, where apart from the rides there was an 'Art Station' which consisted of several deep 'bowls' that spun around with paper attached in the centre whilst you aimed different coloured paints bottles towards them; thus creating colourful splattered pictures. I used to love this area and always came home with psychedelic creations that used to hang on my wall and so when the indoor fun fair closed down I was most ... more

My daughter loves getting messy so for her third birthday I bought this twirl and paint because it helps to keep messy play contained in one small space and I thought it looked like fun. I have to admit though that it is very limited and definitely did not hold her attention for long enough and I can see why. It is a disappointment and I do not recommend it which is a shame as I had been expecting to have lots of fun with this.On the box it shows pictures which look quite effective, very bright in colour and simple to do!What you getInside the box is a plastic stand/turntable, three paints and ... more

We bought this for our daughter when she turned three. It looked, from the picture, to be great fun and a chance for her to get a bit messy whilst painting without it being completely crazy mess-wise. We were disappointed by it to say the least and think that it has many areas in which it needs to improve. What is it? Well! The packaging makes you believe that it is a spinning table which will enable your children to have endless hours of fun creating messy pictures! In reality it is a piece of plastic rubbish which doesn't even work and if it did your little one would probably only have about ... more

My little daughter got this as a present for Christmas and has been sitting in the cupboard ever since and the other day I thought we would give it ago as she wanted to do something different for a change. What do you get? You get three paint squirters, orange, purple and green. A stack of white square paper, 100 sheets, which is the correct size to fit into the twirler machine. Ideas what to do with the art work. Then you get the twirler machine which is where the fun is meant to begin. What do you do? Take one of the sheets provided and place it in the twirler machine. With one hand the ... more

My daughter (then 3) was given a game for christmas from the ELC which she already had. She chose to swap it for the twirl and paint, and was hugely excited. However, once out the box her excited little face became one of frustration upon trying to use the twirl and paint. What is it: It's essentially a blue plastic dome thing with a button on the side. You insert a piece of squared paper (provided) in the slots, squirt some paint (little tubes of purple, green, blue provided) whilst pressing the button to make the inserted paper spin and thus making a pretty pattern. Cost: £8 Purpose: Billed ... more
