Editorial Review

Most painters have to clean up after they're done, but with this set of five bright finger-paint soaps, you can paint and get clean at the same time. Squeeze a dab of each color into the enclosed hand-shaped artist's palette and you're all set to turn your tub into an impressionistic masterpiece. When it's towel time, wipe the pigment away using the included fish-shaped sponge. Don't forget to wear a beret in the tub for the right effect. Paints are orange, blue, yellow, green, and purple. They are not heavily scented, and the pigments are child friendly. --Richard Farr

The tail tore off the sponge fish during the first use. The paints aren't dark enough to see when smeared on the shower wall.

I dind't know if I'd ever get him out of the tub! He did have a little trouble getting enough paint on his fingers, so I got his paintbrush, and that worked better. The yellow was a little hard to see, but they smelled great! He painted all the walls, then himself, and begged for more! When I told him we were saving some for later, he had fun washing off the walls with the fish-sponge. Then he played with the fish for a while pretending to catch it and cook it. To sum it up, when the bath was over, he clapped his hands and said "Mommy, I LOVE my tub paints!"

My daughter loves this set... we're on our 3rd. I can't imagine a child not loving this!

Obviously it doesnt last forever, but it lasts a lot longer than you would think it would by seeing the small bottles.
The colors are mostly really bright, and if you jostle the soap in the water to make bubbles you can see the color in the bubbles!

if you need to "bribe" a kid into the bath this toy is garenteed to do the trick!!

1 small complaint:
-the "pallate" is worthless.. it doesnt float and wont fit on the side of the tub.
(if you save the plastic part of the package it makes a MUCH better paint-holder.. although it takes on water as well if the child isnt careful)

It would be really great if they made a deluxe set with a good quality floating palate and maybe some stamps.
