Sooner or later I get used to the things that just about every company on Earth makes, with the exception of Crayola. It seems like every single year around Christmas time Crayola starts airing a commercial for a new toy that just leaves me saying "How the heck does that thing work ?!".

This year they didn't disappoint, for on TV I just saw a commercial for the Magical Light Brush [crayola.com], and I'm sitting here baffled about how this thing works.

Any ideas ?

Looks like perhaps some kind of chemical "stimulous"

• To minimize any change in appearance, wipe Color Wonder products off household surfaces immediately.
• After using Color Wonder products, remove residue from hands by washing with soap and water.
• For best results when using Color Wonder paints or spray, apply a light layer on the Color Wonder
surface. Remove any excess paint from the surface by wiping with a dry paper towel.
• Do not leave product in direct sunlight.

What I thought was pretty funny was this part

I'm like - Doesn't that include everything a kid would normally color on anyway? It only basically leaves out Toilets and porcelain items. So I guess it's OK to color on the toilet.

That was my first thought to. I immediately thought of those Magic Eraser commercials where someone's wiping the stuff some kid just scribbled on a wall.

Hahahaha! My son decided one day to use a Sharpie to draw on various pieces of furniture around the house. I still treasure the sun/spider thing he drew on the armoire in my office.
