Great paint, hard to open
We really enjoyed the possibility of learning that skin, hair and eyes can be different shades of browns. We heard our group talking about the yummy color names. Even if you think your group's skin tone might be homologous, their hair and eyes are multiple colors of brown and a good way to bring up ...the conversation of beauty in diversity. It was a enriching and valuable experience for all of us, making our children's art more realistic!

Decent...not excellent
I am an early childhood educator, and a teacher/trainer of Anti-Bias Education for other early childhood professionals. I think it is critically important for children to interact with skin tones in MANY different ways to build in positive experiences with a range of brown tones. This paint is a w...onderful product to achieve that goal. That said, the paint seems to dry white/chalky. Another reviewer said to add glue, and that helps keep the original tones and glossiness...I haven't tried that, because I have never been concerned about the final color in my process art. If you are trying to paint self portraits, you will run into trouble. Also, the color palette is not all that true to life - the olive is more like green than skin, and the peaches are quite pink. I'm sure mixing would fill in any gaps in the spectrum, though. Bottom line - if you want this for process oriented, open-ended art - you will be happy. If you are hoping to create realistic looking self-portraits, might want to stick with the crayons, or plan to add some glue.

I first used this in an early childhood educators class I was taking. It was fantastic and mixed well to come up with "your" color. All of my peers who used it really loved it. When I found it on here, I knew I wouldn't be doing my job as preschool Director with a multi-cultural program if I didn't get it. Our toddlers used some of it already and the Pre-K kids will be doing self-portraits with it soon.

You can mix the colors to make individual skin tones for each child in the program or class. You need to add glue to keep the colors glossy or they turn white no matter which one you use.
