Troubleshooting & Tips for Your Crayola Color Wonder Magic Light Brush
The Crayola Color Wonder Magic Light Brush is a mess-free painting tool designed to work exclusively with Color Wonder Paper.
For best results:
- Protect your work surface before starting.
- Turn on the brush — the handle will light up and cycle through all colours.
- Once the cycle ends, press the bristles into the center of the paint pad for 1–2 seconds to allow it to pick up enough colour to transfer to the Color Wonder Paper.
- The handle will temporarily light up the colour of the selected paint.
- Brush the bristles against the paint pad several times to coat them with an invisible layer of paint.
- Apply the brush to Color Wonder Paper and watch the colours magically appear!
Do I need to replace the paint pads?
No. The paint pads are securely sealed during manufacturing and are not removable or replaceable. They are designed to last and will not dry out, even if the cover is not airtight.
How do I clean and store the Magic Light Brush?
- Wipe the bristles with a dry paper towel between colour changes to prevent mixing.
- When finished, snap the cover on to protect the colour pads.
- Store the unit in a cool, dry place.
Battery Installation:
Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two screws on the battery compartment cover.
Insert three (3) AA alkaline batteries.
Ensure all three battery nibs (+ ends) face to the LEFT (refer to image on packaging or manual).
Replace the battery cover and tighten the screws securely.
Battery Savers:
- To help preserve battery life, the Magic Light Brush will automatically turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity.
- To reactivate the brush: Push the power switch to "off", then back to "on". This resets the unit and turns it back on.
