You know how sometimes you see a toy and you think, “Wow, I’d’ve loved that when I was a kid. Heck, I’d like to play with that today.” Glow Crazy caught my imagination like that. I heard about it through an e-mail pitch, and the Glow Crazy folks were kind enough to send us one copy to try out and one copy to give away. I think the kids will love it, but I’ve decided to keep ours a secret to give to them this Christmas.
Doesn’t this sound like fun?
Named as one of the Hot Toys for Holiday 2010 by the Canadian Toy Association, GlowCrazy is an innovative and safe, new lightwand that lets children express their creativity, drawing with light — mess and worry free!
Canada is the North American launching ground for GlowCrazy, the ultimate magic wand. Already a monster hit in New Zealand, GlowCrazy’s unique, first-of-its-kind Lightwand works best in a darkened room where children can let their imagination shine — creating, drawing and writing with light — and turning their homes and play spaces into a fun temporary glow land!
GlowCrazy lets children put on amazing light shows, doodle all over the walls, play games and make funny silhouettes come to life, right before your very eyes. Simply turn on the lights to “erase” the doodles and start all over again.
Artsy with no mess — what’s not to love? I can’t wait to see the boys trying this one out!
Here’s a little bit of a demonstration from their promotional video:

That looks soooo cool! I really like the “no mess” bit!
Oh, wow! Very, very cool!
Awesome! I’ve got a 4 and 6 year old who would think that’s pretty magical!
Thanks for doing this giveaway! There’s one kid and two adults that would have a lot of fun with that in my house!
Dani I have to say that this has to be one of your coolest giveaways yet!
I think the boys would use this like a lightsabre but the effect would be more like an LSD trip.
Which means: we would love to win this!
How cool is that!!! I think my J would love it!!!
Sounds fun even for older kids!
That looks like a lot of fun – thanks for the opportunity to win, and for the referral for Xmas!
Ouuuu. Hours of fun for sure. I can totally see my husband having a least as much fun as my daughter.
HOW COOL IS THAT!!??!! Wow. I would be the coolest mom ever.
Oh my goodness, my kids would go CRAZY for that!! What a fun Christmas gift!
It’s like A LIGHTSABER + art! Yeah, um, my boys would love that!
Interesting toy. Think my daughter would love it both at home and away. Wonder how well it will pack in the trailer.
I think that my lil man would love this!! Do you know if avail. locally too?
Cool! there is a big wall in DS room that I didn’t know what to do with. I thought about some kind of dry erase board, but I don’t even trust him with washable markers up there. This sounds perfect!
That looks like so much fun! My daughters would love playing with this!
I am curious to see if it really works. My 9-yr-old daughter would love it, I think. She loves to drawn and create.
Oh, count me in, please, Dani! Leah and Rae would love that.
Also interested to know where one mght find these locally. Cuz much as I would like to win, I think my winning luck is all used up.
What a great concept! Like Mary I’d love to know where they can be found locally, and be included in the giveaway.
Grrr . . . the previous “Anonymous” comment was from me. I had a Captcha malfunction and when I tried again, my info was lost.
:o)
Yep – the kids would adore that. Cool!
This has me more than a bit curious Dani!… and wondering where you find the willpower to things until Christmas!
This looks sooo cool!
That looks like great fun! The hard part will be deciding whether to give it to one of my grandchildren or to play with it myself! 😉
This looks like a really fun toy! It reminds me of playing with sparklers as a child.
Looks neato! Sign me up to win! Thanks!
Looks like fun!
Okay, that looks cool. I’m looking for something neat for my daughter.
My son and daughters would love this. It looks really cool!
Looks like a lot of fun, I’m sure my sons (and mommy & daddy!) would love this!
How freaking cool is that? Wonder if hubby would let our four year old have it… or keep it for himself!! ha. Love the idea that they’re launching in Canada- bonus!
looks like fun – please count me in. 🙂

What a cool toy! I’d love to play with that myself… although I suppose, were I to win, it’d need to go to my 5-yr old. They really do get all the best stuff.
Hello! Count me in! I know I would love it. And my boys would too 🙂
I am certain my 8 year old son would love it.
This sounds great! My four year old would love it!
I noticed this in the Toys R Us flyer and wondered what it was. My son would love it.
This sounds soooo cool!!!
