Little artist fun
The less mess painting activity center is a fun concept. The paint is like a powder/paste, as my son says, it feels like dried out putty with color. The paint was smooth and easy to paint with. The paint sticks were very soft, and went on the paper fairly easy. It goes very fast, especially when a three year old is pressing down on the sticks. The stampers were easy to use. This is an activity is an at home activity, as it was still pretty messy, that I wouldn't want in my car. I also wouldn't say less mess, in fact, it is pretty difficult to scrub off little hands. The kids did enjoy painting pictures and using the stamps and stickers.

Perfect for experimenting with techniques
My six year old daughter really enjoyed this kit, but she needed some guidance to explore the different ways you could use it and the difference tools and techniques. As someone who loves art she really enjoyed that and was able to create scenes of her own and even played art teacher to her four year old brothers the next day teaching them how to do it. However, “less” mess means just that. Somehow when all three of them created, they made the paints crumbly and some of those crumbles got on the floor and were dragged around via a foot, the chair leg, and/or a pet and I had streaks of paint all over the floor. Luckily, it was very easily and completely washable!

Cool concept but results weren't as satisfying
This product was really appealing for my 7 year old. He had been asking to open product as soon as recieved. My other two kids weren't as captivated. (5 and 2) However, once we read directions and tried product we were less than satisfied. The colors didn't mix as nice as displayed on box. Some colors hardly took when tried pairing together. Some only took to one color. Another downfall was that you can only make two at a time. My son was so anxious to make new ones and the markers were just used a handful of times. Overall, I think the concept is cool but it didn't live up to our hopes. However, we will continue to try and look forward to the next version of this product.

Loved everything about this set!
We would recommend this to get for yourself or give as a gift! The variety in this set makes it easy for everyone to find something they like. My 6 year old had fun creating a picture with the paint brush and gel paint sticks while my 8 year old loved using the stencils. They both enjoyed adding the stickers to what they painted to make a beautiful piece of art. The tools that are a part of this help create something new instead of just painting.
Paint got on the table and our hands and was easily cleaned up. Perfect gift for kids ages 5-10.

Truly a Less-Mess Activity!
I love that this product includes a variety of activities within it. This introduced my children to new art methods, which I appreciate. The paint tubs looked dried out at first, but it was due to the thick formula. All of the paints were very easy to wash off, which makes me very happy! The silhouette stickers were a bit hard to peel off of the included white paper. Though the recommended age is 6+, I let my 3- and 4-year-old boys play with this set. They had fun, but I agree with the recommended age for best use.

Love the variety in one box!!
My 5 year old daughter loves painting, but this was a little less messy. The jars contain a solid sort of material, almost like an ink pad but clay like texture that you could dig into if you wanted. She pushed the stamped and textured tools into them. She truly loved the paint sticks and stickers. I think this could be great for a range of ages and even starting with ages 4/5 as it’s not too difficult with some adult help. I think this would make for a fun gift for someone.

Easy Activity with Minimal Effort and Cleaning
This little kit was awesome. I did not really know what to expect at first. My boys (ages 6 and 7) took to it quickly. They spent some time trying the different items and experimenting. The stencils and stamps were a huge hit. They definitely would love even more options for each of those. They used the scraping tool and texture scrapers but did not enjoy them as much as the stencils and stamps. They tried both the paint sticks and the paint tubs. Both types worked great and they liked both but preferred the tubs over the sticks. I couldn't resist and also sat down and started playing with this kit. I actually loved using the white crayon and scraping tool after painting over the top. This is definitely one I would recommend as an activity everyone will enjoy, and it doesn't hurt that cleanup and use was a breeze.

Less Mess- more fun!
We were thoroughly impressed by how many different options this kit presented. The paint quality was awesome and produced vivid images. The stencils and stamps were a lot of fun and produced nice artwork to display. If you were thinking about this product as a gift I would definitely recommend it for kids between four and 10 years old. I think that the complexity of what they make can change based on age. It’s easy clean up and doesn’t take up a lot of room for storage.
