Fantastic toy
By Odie on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2012
I was delighted with this product. It is completely mess free and the perfect way for my girls (aged 2 and 4) to spend a cold winters day indoors. The fact that they handled the gel-like paint with their hands gave an added and educational sensory experience and added to the fun. The fact that the paint is clear and immediately results in the desired colour on the special paper is pure science that (apart from the obvious educational benefit) is great for a mom struggling to work through loads of laundry. The paper is strong and the paint dried into beautiful, soft pastel colours. We also used the paint to make their little hand prints on the paper. It came out so beautifully and I thought that this might be a great idea for making hand and foot print keepsakes for small babies too. Especially since the paint is mess free and non-toxic. Overall a great product that even kept my 2-year old happily occupied for a morning of fun. They also had a little bit of paint left at the end of the session!

Pretty magical material, but will probably never use it again since it requires the child to plan before they paint

All the paint looks just like colorless vasaline jelly so all the paints look the same (you need to look at which container you got it out from to know what color it is). And when you use it, it takes a few seconds for the color/paint to appear, so the child pretty much needs to envision what they want to do before they do it, or else it won't come out right. This may be fine for some children, but not all - especially special needs or younger children. It really is easy to clean though, but this is a one-time use for us and we're going back to regular fingerpainting. I would give it a 3.5 stars but since we can't give half stars, it'd have to be 3 despite it being pretty need b/c of the restrictions needed for children, and the fact that I'll never use it again.
