There are several sets available to choose from. We received the Jumbo set with 24 Blendy Pens, 10 posters, 2 stencils, 1 art portfolio and a Blendy airbrush. This set can be played with right out of the box with very minimal instruction. My girls got busy right away coloring their favorite posters. Two pens are connected together with a shared cap in the middle. If you twist the top and bottom in opposite directions, the tips meet in the middle. Hold the pen vertically and the top color will mix into the tip of the bottom marker. When you color with it, it fades from the top color into the marker’s original color. Using this technique, you can make 276 color combinations!
