 The 6 things WRONG with this watercolor set August 28, 2010
Nana Banana (California)
1. The paints do not mix as true colors; no color learning for your child. Red and blue make mud; yellow and blue make mud; yellow and red make mud. This is because all the colors are diluted with white and other pigments and do not mix true. A cheap alternative to real paints.
2. The pans of paint are very shallow and get used up in the first use. Another super cheap trick. Your kids will get maybe 3 paintings out of this set.
3. Made in China; says non-toxic but what does that really mean in China these days?
4. Overpriced at any price.
5. Huge waste of plastic and our international shipping lanes.
6. I expect more from Melissa and Doug. Cheapens their product line.
 They're.......okay August 26, 2010

They look cool, the color wells are large and the color is fine. But they're not hard watercolors, they're more gel-like. They lasted two sessions with my two year olds. If you hover while your kids paint they might work for you. If, like me, you let your kids go crazy, they don't last long enough to be any kind of value, even at the extremely reduced price I paid. Go with the Crayola ones.

Great finger paints. My 4 year old granddaugher loved them. If you want finger paints for a younger child, these fill the bill and the price is right. NOTE, the box acts as a great paint holder to prevent spills.

it's just too complicated for him to dip the brush in water, shake off the excess, dip it in the color and then onto the paper. and to not mix up the colors.
i bought it because this is the only type of "paint" i had access to as a child, and it was fun. i am sure my son will get used to it too, but a bit later.
that said, this product is good - it's attractive, easy to use and not pricey.
