Good value
25 years working with children and these are my favorite watercolors. They are a great value for the price, in my opinion. They last 20 times longer than old fashioned regular watercolors. I "LOVE" that they are removable from from the tray. For clean-up, I remove them from the trays and rince off t...he "pucks" as I call them. LOL. That brings the colors back alive, after kids have mixed colors. Then I wash off the base tray, and allow the pucks to dry on a piece of foil or wax paper. When dry, I put them back in the tray and they are like brand new. =)

Awful
Don't waste your money. These were dusty and chalky when dry and when wet, they gummed up the end of the brush and the chalk slurry (I hesitate to call it paint) was so thick it was a chore for an adult to get it off the end of the brush onto the paper. The result was disappointing in color and ...texture. There wasn't much pigment to the color and the texture was as if you'd smashed up chalkboard chalk and added water. We paint a lot, several times a week, and use all sorts of paints. These were the worst we ever tried. Even the tray is flimsy and cheaply made. When I bought these, I also bought the Colorations Cup and Tray Tempera Cakes- in contrast these were BRILLIANT! Smooth, highly pigmented color that even an adult would (and does!) enjoy painting with. The tray is sturdy and solid. Spend your money there. These are terrible. They might have the same name, but the paint is completely different.

I really liked them, they are huge!! and the color mixing is not as bad as regular watercolors.
Would purchase this again.

I love the vibrant colors, though I have not used these as of yet with the children. The only thing I notice from other paint cakes over the years is that these seem a bit chalky, but I believe this will change once water is mixed in with the paint. I am very happy with this product.
Cool paint without the mess

I am just now experimenting with these beautiful colors. I painted a picture on copy paper and the colors were rich and the more I added the more changes I saw. I also did some free art on watercolor paper and the results were better than I could have imagined. I plan on letting my preschoolers free paint with the Tempera Paint Cakes then die cut hearts for homemade Valentine cards to send home.

I love love these watercolors. The colors are so bright and vibrant. It doesn't take much water to paint like the ones you find in the store.
Chalky but good

Good for quick, minimal mess sub lessons. A bit chalky. Wet and stir the paint well for more saturated color. Dries very quickly. Worked best for painting our cardboard projects.
would stay with either watercolor cakes or liquid tempera
