Great paints, excellent value! :)
Hi, I'm a first time buyer from this site. I'm a stay-at-home mom of a 7 y/o boy and an almost 3y/o girl. I read some of the other reviews before buying this paint. I noticed that some other people said that the colors were dull or not that thick but I went ahead and bought this anyway because it wa...s mostly for just something fun for my kids to do since they love coloring and painting. I disagree with the few others who said the paint was dull and thin. The thickness is the same as what was used back when I was in grade school(and I'll admit that was quite some time ago, lol) and the colors were nice and vibrant. I also found that it was fairly easy to wash and yes, paints are going to be messy, especially with young kids, but I expect that. I actually didn't think they were messy at all, except for the deliberate mess my kids made, lol, but that has nothing to do with the product itself :)The paint also washed off of my kids' hands no problem. Although, when my youngest tried using them as finger paints, I did notice that the black didn't fully wash out from under her nails but really, that wasn't that bad because it still washed off her skin just fine.I bought these because they were only [$] each and my kids were going through water colors way too fast and I was starting to spend too much on them. So I bought these with the intent of 'watering' it down, sort of like making my own water colors, lol. It works great! I simply put a few drops of the color into the paint holders(I kept the ones from the watercolors)and mix in almost equal amounts of water and it works great! The size of the bottles are actually a really decent size that I probably don't even have to mix with water because the paint will still last quite awhile without having to 'water' it down. My kids love it and since they are still young and love to paint all the time, I like that I spent so very little on something that will last much longer. For young kids who just love to paint for hours on end, espeicially on rainy days, these were perfect!To save money(I'm a big budget buyer and hate spending more than I need to even if we can afford it), and to keep from being stuck with too much paint in case I didn't like it, I didn't buy every single color. I just stuck with red, blue, yellow, white and black. With those 5 colors, I can make any color and any shade of color I want, so that was fun too! I LOVE these paints! My kids can spend a few hours painting almost 2 dozen paintings on just a few drops of paint. My youngest is almost three and doesn't have any paint left after 5 or 6 paintings but my oldest is 7 and he paints about a dozen paintings and still has half his paint left! This is definitely by far the best value for my dollar and I am so happy I bought. I will definitely be buying these as long as the stay under $2 each! :D

I use the product to play with mostly. We may use it for a sort of finger paint or something creative like that. I love that it is easy to wash and won't stain my furniture and such, but at the same time the art isn't permanent and needs more attention to be saved for a life time.

Traditional colors are great. Gold, not so much.

I bought a few different colors in this order. The green and red were great. But the gold was not. Zero coverage on the canvases. It's a pretty color. But in application it falls short. #sweepstakes
