How to Use Blendy Pens
Blendy Pens are two-color, double-ended markers designed to blend multiple ink colors onto one marker. Blendy Pens allow kids to create a shaded effect when coloring or to create writing in blended colors. Blendy Pen markers come in sets with colors that mix and match when you connect and twist them together using a special "color fusion chamber."

Tips & Warnings
The longer you hold the twisted Blendy Pens in the color fusion chamber, the more intense the color will be.
A color-charged Blendy Pen will cover a 2-inch by 2-inch area of paper with blended ink.
Use another Blendy Pen in the top of the color fusion chamber after the first top color, then repeat the twist and hold for three colors in one Blendy Pen.
To clean a color off the tip, use the Blendy Pen on a scrap paper, twisting the tip around as you color the paper ro discharge the ink.
Always store Blendy Pens with two pens in the color fusion chamber to keep them airtight and moist when not in use.
