Product description
You submitted a sample of a Color Cyclone Paint Spinner identified as item number 03-5006. The item consists of 1 color plastic battery-powered cyclone unit (a tripod unit with an opening on top) and 4 bottles of sidewalk paint packaged together in an illustrated cardboard box with a window display. To use, one pours a bottle of paint into the opening on top of the cyclone unit, which fills up a hollow tube that hangs down. Flipping a lever on the side of the cyclone unit causes this hanging hollow tube to spin and spray the paint onto the sidewalk. The lever can be adjusted to various speeds and the cyclone unit itself can be manipulated to different paint spraying angles resulting in various paint patterns and designs. These sidewalk paint patterns can then be washed away with a garden hose, allowing the paint surface to be used over and over again. The Color Cyclone Paint Spinner is a toy that requires three “AA” batteries, which are not included, and is intended to provide frivolous amusement for a child four years of age and older.
