Crayola 3D Giant Chalk Set

This is sidewalk chalk. If you like side walk chalk art - this is a fun addition! Put the glasses on and the chalk drawing has a real 3D appearance - yellows and reds do not appear to be on the same plane...none of the colors do - some seem farther away than others. Trial and error you can make some cool looking drawings - or - just draw away and after you are done put on the glasses to see your flat art transform to somethign completely different! Glasses are not overly durable - but not flimsy. You could use them with other chalks as well, just not so well.

After much begging and pleading, I bought this set for my 9-year-old son who absolutely loves to draw with chalk on our driveway. Honestly, I expected to be disappointed.The product consists of two pair of "3D" glasses and four large chalks, each composed of two different colors. In reality, the large chalks are simply two smaller ones stuck together which, frankly, are too unwieldy for little hands. No matter - the first time my son dropped one of the large chalks it broke in half, giving him the two separate smaller chalks to work with.The instructions accompanying the package explain that, when viewed through the 3D glasses, "hot" colors (orange, pink and red) look as if they're higher than "cool" colors (blue, green). Explaining this to a kid who'd already envisioned what he wanted to draw wasn't easy, and he was predictably disappointed when his masterpiece didn't look anything like the television commercial.Before giving up, I decided to try my hand on something simple: I wrote his initials in yellow (a hot color that "rises") and outlined each letter with a thick border of blue (a cool color that "recedes"). Serious WOW!!!! After that demonstration, both of us were hooked so we spent the morning coloring our driveway then, as the neigbhborhood kids came out to see, we let each of them try on the 3D glasses. They, too, all said WOW!!!Before long, our chalk was running low so I decided to see if using plain sidewalk chalk (we keep a bucket of it around at all times) would have the same effect. Although less saturated with color than the 3D chalk, when viewed through the glasses it had the same effect. Keep that in mind if you order this: you'll want to hang on to your glasses!As for cleanup, the product hoses off of sidewalks and driveways easily. It takes a little scrubbing to get the chalk off hands, though, but the kids had so much fun with this stuff not a single one complained about having to scrub.

Love the giant sized pieces of chalk and the glasses! Everything is so cool in 3D! We have a small storage bin of outdoor sidewalk chalk that seems to get new additions every year! It doesn't matter how old my kids & their friends get, my driveway is decorated occasionally every spring through fall.

Wow, I am even impressed about these glasses. It's hours of fun light I use to have just drawing on the concrete. With all these video games, it's nice to see kids outside playing and getting dirty. Congrats Crayola for a great toy...!!!

My kid loves this chalk! The pieces are about 7-8 inches long, and perfect for toddlers, as it does not break easily!

I personally find these a bit of the emperors new cloth....Just looks like chalk to me and my daughter, but my wife sees 3d and finds it amazing....some of my daughters friends also see it ....a lot of jun to play with and try to see it...

If my brother got it he hasn't told me. There was a chalk art contest in Billings and I don't think he participated.

I got this set of chalk for my 12 year old. We had a great time drawing and making the color patterns so they could stand out or recede.I recommend it for anyone.
