Kids paint that don’t break the bank

I have five kids and we go through a LOT of paint! Up until a week ago I always bought smaller containers of paint that you can get at a store. I hated them, though, because they didn't have a squeeze top so I had to dump the paint onto a tray or plate for my kids to use. A luxury problem of course, but it was annoying when the paint was half way gone or more to tap, tap, tap the paint bottle against the tray and nothing would come out and so tap, tap, tap (gentle tapping) again until PLOP! A huge blob of paint comes out at once. At least double what I wanted to pour out. Frustrating because then that extra paint was just wasted!That is the whole reason I went in search of squeeze top paints.Lastly, the color and texture and thickness of this paint is wonderful. Exactly what you want for elementary aged kids' art time. The colors are nice and vibrant and it's not too watery so it doesn't just soak through a paper.

Crayola is the only student grade paint that I will use. Other washable paint is garbage.

These paints are great, better than the normal washable crayola paint.

First, I’m knocking off 1 star because 2 of the 12 bottles came with broken tops. Exchange was easy, but I still had to make a trip to UPS, which was unnecessary. Anyway, this will be a gift for the grandsons for Xmas…they are getting an easel too and all the accessories. The paint is a good size, and should last a long time. This 12 set has all the basic colors, and then some! I also purchased separate no spill paint cups that match 10 of the 12 color paints. The bottles come with squeezable tops, which is nice. A bit pricey, but the Crayola quality is what sold me.

I bought this large box set for a art party with 25+ kid painters. After over 35 8x10 canvases were done there was lots of paint left! We continue to uses it at home and even for GS Troop projects. I will buy it again! (The wide range of colors made it so we didn’t need to mix paint to make colors. I loved the SMILES when I could just say yes to every color request! And it didn’t hurt that it was a big time and mess saver too!)

These are so much cheaper than the $3 tiny bottles at the big craft store, and the paint is high quality. Colors are vivid, and the paint washes easily out of brushes with water. We still buy the small bottles for specialty colors, but for the standard rainbow, 16oz bottles are a great deal. We are careful to keep the caps closed, and our last purchase of these 2 years ago were good to the last drop. Best wishes

Purchased for my six year old granddaughter. Works for both of us.

Not 100% washable, maybe 95% washable.It is hard to clean for some materials.
