Color twenty one 3D toy models (e.g., boats, cars or dolls) as they spin on a rotating turntable, with this innovative spatial/creativity experience. After you pick one of the toys, you are given a suggestion to copy; or you can start from scratch. Toys include a sailboat, car, truck, robot, train, house, cake, pie, sundae, donut, rocket, teapot, bear, crocodile, cow, cat, giraffe, lion, sheep, snail and a turtle. Other features include an auto-rotation mode for toddlers, a rainbow-hued palette of paint colors, resizable (pinch or unpinch to zoom/expand) stickers, plus music and sound effects that can be toggled on or off. Children can take a photograph of a finished project, but we couldn't figure out how to keep working on a saved project. In addition, there is no "undo" of the last step -- an important feature with any type of drawing or creativity activity. If you're looking for a strong spatial relations experience this is a good choice.
