The Wow! Stuff Light Painting Wand surprised many testers. They told us that from the packaging, and when first taking it out of the box it appears to just be a Harry Potter licensed wand with a light at the end of it. Push the button and the light comes on. Meh. Then they delved into the instruction book and saw that they needed to download the free app to see what it really does. The app is easy to use and quite fun as your child gets the hang of it. They can use the wand to spell out words and make emojis, among other tricks. The age range is appropriate. Some parents felt it would be great fun for sleepovers and for those who are real wizard fans! High marks across the board for quality and style. The wand does not feel like it is made of cheap plastic, it has a decent weight to it and feels good in the hands. The packaging also impressed, very nicely done and appealing. The wand comes nestled in a high-quality velvety box that is perfect for safe storage.
