Editorial Review

The Sticker Maker from Crayola is a simple but oddly satisfying idea. It’s basically a light box into which slides of various designs can be inserted, then traced on to sticky-backed paper to make your own stickers.

It measures approximately 9 inches long, 7 inches wide, and 3.5 inches high, and is made from strong yellow and purple plastic. A hatch at the back opens to reveal a receptacle to insert either the plain or sticky-backed paper reels that are included. The paper is fed either by turning the manual reels at the side of the machine or by pressing the Auto Wind button. On top of the machine is a screen measuring approximately 4 inches square. Insert one of the included design slides underneath this and press the light box On switch to illuminate it from beneath. Pull either of the included paper reels or sticky-backed sheets over the top of the screen and then trace away to your heart’s content using your favorite felt-tipped pens or crayons (not included). The finished design can be torn off from the Paper Cut slot at the bottom.

The Sticker Maker is ideal for building confidence in the artistically inept, as the ability to trace pictures is all that’s needed. The tracing sheet designs are mainly animals/insects, but there are also designs suitable for special occasions such as birthday celebrations. It takes three AA batteries which are not included, although a spare bulb for the light box is. The paper reels are likely to be used up very quickly--replacements are available directly from the manufacturer. Suitable for ages 3 and up. --Alison Drury ... Read more

Sticker maker. Hard to use
Its to bad my daughter (age 4) likes to try to use this machine, because it never works the way it should. The paper never flows though the machine with ease. It uses batteries very quickly, and the light is not bright at all. The sticker paper is very thick so, little light shines through. After you make a sticker, there is such a waste (of the sticker paper) by the time you get the sticker to come out. Even on manual feed, the paper still has a tough time comming through the unit.

poorly designed, no scope for imagination, expensive to run
All you can do with this toy is trace stencils onto sticker paper or plain paper and put clear plastic over the top surface. The stencils are good but there is no scope for your child's imagination or creativity. If your child only wants to make 1 sticker or wants to use the sticker they have just made instantly, in order to get it from the paper feed, you have to waste 6 inches of sticker paper (which is custom and very expensive). On our toy, the paper is not flush against the light box & the light is not very bright so you have to press hard on the sticker paper to see the stencil. I can't comment on the durability as the toy is new & my child got bored after making 3 stickers. Amazon does not allow a rating to be left blank, non-applicable or not known, so I gave it 3 stars for durability

Crayola Sticker Machine
My son loves this machine, however let me forwarn you that once you run out of the sticker paper (which goes your first or second time playing), you mush reorder the paper and it takes 4 - 6 weeks for delivery. So it's very inconvenient. ... Read more
