 Time to get messy July 16, 2010

There are only 3 colours in this set - red, yellow and blue. However these are colours that can be mixed with each other to make other colours.
The paint is not like normal paint, it is more like coloured gel. This isn't a negative in my opinion as it works just like paint and looks just like paint when it's dry. I think this is better for younger children (toddlers) rather than older children as it seems easiler and less challenging to use than normal paints.
The way I use them is to squeeze a small amount of each colour onto a plate and let my daughter use a brush, sponge or her fingers to make pictures with. The only downside in doing this is it's very easy to mix all the colours together.
The paints can be used for painting pictures, making handprints, footprints, finger painting and general childrens arts and crafts. They're also good to make keepsakes.
Best of all the paints are totally washable. I've got them on all types of surfaces and clothing (even whites) and they have all come out in the washing machine. They also come off easily on skin - just a rinse under the tap is needed.
The advantages of this product for me would be it does what it says on the tin, it's great for toddlers, bright colours, is washable and comes in a bottle which means I can decide how much paint I want to be squeezed out.
The only disadvantage of this product for me would be the fact there are only 3 colours and the paints take a while to dry. I think the main disadvantage to others would be that the paint is gel-like, however as I've already mentioned I don't see this as a problem.
 Not the best finger paints we've tried May 2, 2010

Like other reviews have said, these finger paints aren't very good at sticking to paper. The paint is more like a translucent type gel that doesn't stick very well to paper. My little one still had fun playing with them but the colours, once on the paper, were very dull. You'd be better with poster paints rather than these. Not a great product.
Good for very small people! March 23, 2010

While I agree with the sentiment of many of the negative reviews, the paint is gel like and not like regular paint I disagree that this is such a bad thing.
It is designed for very young children, from 24 months, all the other paints are from ages 3 and up and with good reason.
Yes this paint is not going to paint a particularly good picture but for my 2 year old whose main aim is to spread as much of it over the page, the table, his hands hair and face as possible it is perfect. It's non toxic, washes straight off his clothes and anything else it touches including my Laura Ashley cushions!
I think if you are purchasing for a very young child who doesn't care much for what his "artwork" looks like it is a great product for his first adventure into the world of painting!

I personally think this is a great toy as for example you can spend a rainy afternoon colouring in the french doors to the garden. It will keep the kids (and wannabe kids) entertained and washes off fine after a couple of days. We put old newspapers down so that mess on the floor was kept to a minimum. Brilliant fun!

I got these for my 3 year old son and he was quite excited to try them out. After the old tshirt was put on and the table covered we discovered the paints were more like a sticky gel than a paint. On paper they barely made a mark and were useless. I wouldn't recommend to anyone, stick to poster paints and just have gruby hands for a while than bother with these which are a complete waste of money
